How to use API?
Our API is documented here, and there's API libraries for popular programming languages (I'd recommend you use one of those instead of rolling your own implementation). To authenticate as bot you have to pass X-Bot-Token instead of X-Session-Token.

Revolt: Open-source alternative to Discord written in Rust
Just want to suggest that if you're interested in doing this in the future, please put in effort to define interfaces up front. I took a quick look at the codebase and it looks like mongo is "in there pretty good"[0] without any abstraction to make it easily shimmable.
Just a little specification around the that interface (Trait) will go a long way to making other backends possible and should make it much easier to know and manage the API contract a capable database must provide.
