Question

Body

Is it possible to retrieve a user's profile bio / "About Me" using the Discord API with a bot, considering the user is a member of the same server?

If not, is this data intentionally restricted by Discord for privacy reasons?

a Discord bot cannot access a user’s bio / “About Me”, even if they share a server. This info is private by design. Bots can only see public server info like usernames, IDs, avatars, and presence — personal profile details are intentionally hidden to protect user privacy.
