Deployment availability
The routes listed under Hosted-only routes exist only on the deployment FiveCord hosts. A self-hosted deployment runs the same release, and most of the HTTP API is identical on both.
A self-hosted deployment does not register those routes. A request to one returns 404 NOT_FOUND with no feature-specific code, so a caller cannot tell an unavailable route from an unrecognised path.
Credentials, permissions, premium state and OAuth2 scopes do not change route availability. Read the deployment kind from instance discovery.
Deployment kind
Section titled “Deployment kind”Every deployment reports its kind in self_hosted on the instance features object. The unauthenticated instance discovery document publishes it before a client holds any credential. self_hosted alone decides whether the API registers the routes below.
stripe_enabled on the same object reports only the integrations.stripe.enabled configuration value. A hosted deployment that reports it false still serves every route in the table below. A deployment reporting stripe_enabled true with no provider secret key configured behaves exactly like one reporting it false.
When stripe_enabled is false or no provider secret key is configured, the answer depends on the operation. An operation that has to reach the provider fails with 400 STRIPE_PAYMENT_NOT_AVAILABLE, and Receive Stripe webhook fails with 400 STRIPE_WEBHOOK_NOT_AVAILABLE. These read operations report the absence in a 200 body instead:
- Get refund eligibility reports
eligiblefalse with the reasonfeature_unavailable. - Get current subscription price reports null.
- Get price IDs reports the configured price IDs with every amount null.

1 These are the only /users/@me routes a self-hosted deployment does not serve
2 The webhook takes no credential and is authenticated by the provider signature header alone
3 The same object appears as billing.refund_eligibility on Get premium state, which every deployment serves, and there a self-hosted deployment reports eligible false with the reason feature_unavailable
4 The same object appears as billing.current_subscription_price on Get premium state, which every deployment serves
Registered routes that resolve differently
Section titled “Registered routes that resolve differently”A route every deployment registers can still produce a different answer on a self-hosted instance. Each operation page documents that difference.
Premium state is the clearest case. Every deployment registers Get premium state and Set premium perks disabled. A self-hosted instance still reports premium state and still records the perks-disabled flag. The response repeats the deployment kind in self_hosted on the effective premium state object. That flag alone does not make is_premium true. A self-hosted deployment grants premium to every account only while its instance premium mode is everyone. That mode also overrides the perks-disabled flag, so is_premium stays true while premium_perks_disabled is true.
The other instance feature flags published by instance discovery work the same way. voice_enabled, presigned_attachment_uploads, and emails_enabled each report whether a capability is switched on. The routes for that capability stay registered when the flag is false, so a client reads the flag before it uses them.
