If you don't have access yet, but don't want to use Discord anymore; we do have one more option for you, but there's not much known yet about them; the MJ Slackbot.
It's an unofficial community-created port of Midjourney for Slack.
So that you can use the Midjourney Bot directly in your company's Slack workspace!
Does Midjourney have a browser version? (A web interface without Discord)
Update February2025: Looks like these rumors were true when we first created this article!
One extra thing before going further, there are rumors that Midjourney is working on a web interface to generate images.

Does Midjourney have an API?
Unfortunately, as of 2025, Midjourney doesn't have an official API. However, there are unofficial APIs available. Examples are The Next Leg, GoAPI, Imagine API, and MyMidjourney.
Another option is using the Midjourney Automation Bot, a Pyton-based solution that helps streamline the entire image generation process.
