getting guild object

anyone knows how can I check if any kind of event happened and get the guild object? my bot only works on guilds so direct messages can be ignored.

import { Client } from "discord.js";
import { readdirSync } from "fs";
import { join } from "path";
import { color } from "../functions";
import { BotEvent } from "../types";

module.exports = (client: Client) => {
    let eventsDir = join(__dirname, "../events")

    readdirSync(eventsDir).forEach(file => {
        if (!file.endsWith(".js")) return;
        let event: BotEvent = require(`${eventsDir}/${file}`).default
        event.once ?
            client.once(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args))
            :
            client.on(event.name, (...args) => {
                console.log(...args);
                const isApiOffline = checkApiAvailability();
                if (isApiOffline) {
                    //pseudo code
                    //smthg like this but I dont want to make a switch case over all event types to get the guild object.
                    const guildId = args[0].getEvent().guild;
                    const guild = client.guilds.cache.get(guildId);
                    const owner = guild?.fetchOwner();
                    owner.send("API is offline"); 
                }

            });
    })
}
function checkApiAvailability() {
    return false;
}

                    //smthg like this but I dont want to make a switch case over all event types to get the guild object.
                    const guildId = args[0].getEvent().guild;

What exactly do you mean by "any kind of event" You can listen to specific events and if they happened in a guild, they will have a reference to that guild in some way You're going to need to know which event it is to know which properties you're actually getting as arguments

just when an event happens i want to check if my api is online - like a middleware so if not i can return early and notify the server owner once.
