:method: GuildMessageManager#fetch @14.15.3 Fetches message(s) from a channel. The returned Collection does not contain reaction users of the messages if they were not cached. Those need to be fetched separately in such a case.

// Fetch a message
channel.messages.fetch('99539446449315840')
  .then(message => console.log(message.content))
  .catch(console.error);

// Fetch a message
channel.messages.fetch('99539446449315840')
  .then(message => console.log(message.content))
  .catch(console.error);

is there a function for fetching all messages in a guild at once or do i have to manually make a loop for it

chewie 🌈•3d ago

loop

d.js docs•3d ago

:propertysignature: FetchMessagesOptions#after @14.15.3 Consider only messages after this id

The id here for after is just a snowflake, you can construct one for a specific Date/time by using SnowflakeUtil and pass that

IcyPickle•3d ago

i've hit a wall, it's saying fetch() is undefined for some reason, and chnl is a channel object

const streak = await (async () => {
            const timestamp = SnowflakeUtil.generate(Date.now() - (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
            let msgCountInGuild = 0;
            for (const [id, chnl] of await message.guild.channels.fetch()) msgCountInGuild += ((await chnl.messages.fetch({after: timestamp})).filter((id, msg) => msg.author.id === user.id).size)
            return Math.floor(msgCountInGuild / 50);
        })()

const streak = await (async () => {
            const timestamp = SnowflakeUtil.generate(Date.now() - (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
            let msgCountInGuild = 0;
            for (const [id, chnl] of await message.guild.channels.fetch()) msgCountInGuild += ((await chnl.messages.fetch({after: timestamp})).filter((id, msg) => msg.author.id === user.id).size)
            return Math.floor(msgCountInGuild / 50);
        })()

errors out at the second fetch btw

NyR•3d ago

Just so you know, snowflake should be a string there in after so do timestamp.toString() also, please show your error

IcyPickle•3d ago

oh okay one min

NyR•3d ago

Also no need to fetch channels, it's all cached with Guilds intent

IcyPickle•3d ago

okay ty

NyR•3d ago

Ok i see, you need to convert Collection to iterables

d.js docs•3d ago

Converting a Collection to an array You only need to convert it to an array if you need the index of an entry: - Iteration (looping) is possible with for...of over Collection#values or forEach - You can transform a Collection to an array with Collection#map - If you need indices, you can get the array using [...collection.values()]

IcyPickle•3d ago

i did convert them into iterables const [id,chnl] of collection right?

NyR•3d ago

Read the first point You can do something like

for (const channel of message.guild.channels.cache.values()) {
...
}

for (const channel of message.guild.channels.cache.values()) {
...
}

IcyPickle•3d ago

oh wow didn't know that okay lemme see if it works mhm fetch is still undefined

NyR•3d ago

On a closer look, what you are trying to do seems to be API spammy Why do you need to fetch messages from each channel?

IcyPickle•3d ago

NyR•3d ago

I'm asking why? Just pointing it won't help, just because you want to do something doesn't mean you should

IcyPickle•3d ago

intellisense isn't even working here

No description

IcyPickle•3d ago

no i'm getting the count of all messages in the last 24 hours, dividing it by 50 then creating a msg streak stat

NyR•3d ago

Show your full code, not all channel types have messages property (like Category channels), you'll have to filter those out

IcyPickle•3d ago

it's a seperate function it doesn't have any linkage to the rest of the code

NyR•3d ago

You don't have to show everything, just the part/fuction related to the error

const timestamp = SnowflakeUtil.generate(Date.now() - (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
            let msgCountInGuild = 0;
            for (const chnl of await message.guild.channels.cache.values()) msgCountInGuild += ((await chnl.messages.fetch({after: timestamp.toString()}))
                .filter((msg) => 
            msg.author.id === user.id).size
                       ^^

just this nothing from outside is mentioned except user.id which is

NyR•3d ago

^ 2nd part of this message still applies

IcyPickle•3d ago

oh worked and didn't work no errors but msgCountInGuild is always 0

const streak = await (async () => {
            const timestamp = SnowflakeUtil.generate(Date.now() - (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
            let msgCountInGuild = 0;
            for (const chnl of message.guild.channels.cache.filter((chnl) => {chnl.type === ChannelType.GuildText}).values()) msgCountInGuild += ((await chnl.messages.fetch({after: timestamp.toString()}))
                .filter((msg) => 
            msg.author.id === user.id).size
        )
        console.log(msgCountInGuild);
            return Math.floor(msgCountInGuild / 50);
        })()

const streak = await (async () => {
            const timestamp = SnowflakeUtil.generate(Date.now() - (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
            let msgCountInGuild = 0;
            for (const chnl of message.guild.channels.cache.filter((chnl) => {chnl.type === ChannelType.GuildText}).values()) msgCountInGuild += ((await chnl.messages.fetch({after: timestamp.toString()}))
                .filter((msg) => 
            msg.author.id === user.id).size
        )
        console.log(msgCountInGuild);
            return Math.floor(msgCountInGuild / 50);
        })()

nvm got it working it just takes a long time to finish is there any better way to do this?
