Best way to get active client from http request
Please tell me if this is absolutely crazy.
From a game we're sending an http request to an express app. At that point we want to refresh discord embeds in channels.
Currently, I'm setting up a client.once() and then login() and destroy(). The connection takes a bit of time and I hate to connect and disconnect each time (typically every 5 min)
Does anyone else do anything like this?
Is there a way i can get an active/logged in client?

- What's your exact discord.js
npm list discord.js and node node -v version?
- Not a discord.js issue? Check out #other-js-ts.

- ✅ Marked as resolved by staffwell it doesn't sound like you're actually using the gateway for anything, so you probably don't even need to use discord.js
this could be achieved with
@discordjs/core (particularly even importing API from @discordjs/core/http-only) or @discordjs/rest directlythis is what I'm doing each time
const client = await BotSetup.Once();
const guild = //Gets guild by GuildID;
const baseOnDuty = new BaseOnDuty(client, guild);
await Promise.all([
baseOnDuty.UpdateTransitOnDuty(transit), baseOnDuty.UpdateMedicOnDuty(medics),
]) client.destroy() await client.login(config.DISCORD_TOKEN); return client; omg i didn't even know discordjs rest was a thing that worked, thanks Duck!
