The Developer API is the set of modules Unbound provides for building addons. They cover finding Discord’s internals, persisting settings, localizing strings, showing toasts, and more. Every module is published in the @unbound-app/api package. Import modules by name from the package root, or import each one from its own subpath. At runtime, the same modules are available on the unbound global.
If you’re new, start with Metro. Almost everything else, including assets, i18n, stores, and your own addons, uses it to locate Discord’s modules.
