## OpenAPI

````yaml GET /v1/messages/{id}
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: dis.dog API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    Discord OSINT from one key. Look up a Discord ID, a username or an invite
    and get the profile, the servers it has been seen in, its message logs, and
    the linked Roblox and guns.lol accounts. Your access key authenticates both
    the website and this API.


    **Base URL** `https://api.dis.dog`  

    **Auth** send your key as `Authorization: Bearer DD-...` (or `X-API-Key:
    DD-...`).  

    The API is included with the **Hound** and **Alpha** plans. On the free plan
    only `/v1/me` and `/v1/modules` answer; every other endpoint returns `403
    plan_has_no_api`.
