Bot Endpoints — Top.gg v0 API

The bot endpoints let you search the Top.gg bot directory, check vote history, and post server count statistics. All bot endpoints require a valid Top.gg token and are subject to a rate limit of 60 requests per minute.

Bot endpoints have stricter rate limits than other v0 endpoints. Stay within 60 requests per minute to avoid 429 Too Many Requests errors.
