interaction fetchReply attachment URL is different than the actual URL

I'm trying to retrieve the image URL from the attachment using fetchReply, yet the URL/ID seems to be a different one than the one that was actually posted. console.log url: see image actual url: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/897014664561578034/1111120710912442448/image.png

if (attachment) {
                    message = await interaction.editReply({
                        content: name
                        , files: [attachment.url]
                        , fetchReply: true
                    });
                } else if (url) {
                    message = await interaction.editReply({
                        content: name
                        , files: [url]
                        , fetchReply: true
                    });
                }
                console.log(message.attachments);
                persistentImageURL = message.attachments.map(attachment => attachment.url);

if (attachment) {
                    message = await interaction.editReply({
                        content: name
                        , files: [attachment.url]
                        , fetchReply: true
                    });
                } else if (url) {
                    message = await interaction.editReply({
                        content: name
                        , files: [url]
                        , fetchReply: true
                    });
                }
                console.log(message.attachments);
                persistentImageURL = message.attachments.map(attachment => attachment.url);

Is there a way to get the persistent url for fetching at a later time (so it doesn't get deleted from cache)

• What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? • Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! • Show your code! • Explain what exactly your issue is. • Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers.

Yeah the attachments are meant to be ephemeral

alanOP•2y ago

The links aren't ephemeral though duckthinking

would there be a way to get the persistent link? one that hopefully lasts forever

MrMythical•2y ago

Sorry I'm wrong, it is not meant to be ephemeral So the link just doesn't work after some time?

alanOP•2y ago

Yep correct If I manually copy link from the message output, it's a different link and that one would be permanent But the fetchReply gets a different ID somehow

MrMythical•2y ago

When you edit the image in it should be fetching and creating a new attachment iirc

alanOP•2y ago

Oh so I shouldn't edit that post after fetching the url?

MrMythical•2y ago

I mean the attachment in the edited message should have a new url

alanOP•2y ago

Hmmm I could try
