How to get all channels in a guild?

it looks like there is no way to get all channels in a guild, some posts were referring to .cache but thats not a real solution, how can i do it?

Guild#channels A manager of the channels belonging to this guild

Danial•14mo ago

That would be the manager, message.guild.channels.cache would show more information

Jannik44OP•14mo ago

message.txt

Jannik44OP•14mo ago

wich one do you mean?

Unknown User•14mo ago

Jannik44OP•14mo ago

ah yes, message.guild.channels.cache shows a big amount of information, it sent also every thread so not the channels 😦

Unknown User•14mo ago

Jannik44OP•14mo ago

Unknown User•14mo ago

duck•14mo ago

is it that you're looking for a collection of guild channels excluding threads?

Jannik44OP•14mo ago

yes threads arent even channels are they?

Unknown User•14mo ago

duck•14mo ago

and because they are, you'd want to filter the channel cache with <Guild>.channels.cache.filter() you're free to specifically check <Channel>.isThread() or check for specific types by checking <Channel>.type in case you weren't aware, categories are also channels, so if you were specifically just looking for text/voice channels, you'll want to filter those out as well

Jannik44OP•14mo ago

so isThread() gives me only threads right?

duck•14mo ago

yes, so presumably you'd want to check that its not a thread

Jannik44OP•14mo ago

ye smth like isTextchannel()?

duck•14mo ago

are you only looking for text channels?

Jannik44OP•14mo ago

text and voice channels im trying to modify their names

duck•14mo ago

well you're likely also going to run into issues bulk editing channels what exactly is all this for?

Jannik44OP•14mo ago

oh no... im working on a bot that can apply themes and stuff for example adding an icon in front of every channel name

Danial•14mo ago

Yeah, that can get you rate limited real quickly Channel renaming rate limit is very high

Jannik44OP•14mo ago

how high exactly? have no problem with putting a few seconds/minutes between each edit

Danial•14mo ago

Twice every 10 minutes

Jannik44OP•14mo ago

thats acceptable so any idea how i can get text and voice channels?

Danial•14mo ago

You can filter using channel.type and ChannelType enum

Mac•14mo ago

yeah but isn't that per channel

duck•14mo ago

even putting that aside, attempting to edit every channel in a guild has the potential to hit the global rate limit

Mac•14mo ago

what's the global rate limit?
