is it possible to detect if a message is actually a poll (new discord poll) via API?

Raw API, yes. Djs currently don't support it. I think it's in APIMessage or something.

not through DJS directly, but on the API yes, messages with a poll in them have a new poll property that contains everything relating to the poll

"poll": {
  "question": {
    "text": "testing"
  },
  "answers": [
    {
      "answer_id": 1,
      "poll_media": {
        "text": "1"
      }
    },
    {
      "answer_id": 2,
      "poll_media": {
        "text": "2"
      }
    }
  ],
  "expiry": "2024-04-11T14:30:13.975179+00:00",
  "allow_multiselect": false,
  "layout_type": 1,
  "results": {
    "answer_counts": [],
    "is_finalized": false

how can i access this data? its not included in the messageCreate message data

sludge•3mo ago

well of course, because DJS doesn't support it yet but the data is there on the API directly

Lopunny Owner•3mo ago

dont spoonfeed also that can quickly get bot ratelimited no i mean fetching message part

souji•3mo ago

don't need to do that, listen for raw/the dispatch event on client#ws, match the event and make the delete rest call that fetch not being associated with the rest instance, so not respecting rate limits is a huge issue

Exa•3mo ago

Definitely seems like a clunky workaround yeah. I worked my way through the raw event and figured out a way to detect a poll, timeout the poster, and delete the poll, in my own script.

souji•3mo ago

lol, timeout anyone who makes a poll it's immensely funny to see how people overreact over polls

Exa•3mo ago

I mean it's a one minute timeout to dissuade spamming them I have a server with ~11k people in it and we use automod, which seems not to work in polls. I'd just as soon disallow polls, but Discord as usual decided not to provide a functional permission for this feature. Sometimes if you want something to work right you just have to do it yourself.
