The Discord API does not provide a dedicated event for guild boosts, but you can check for it in the guildMemberUpdate event:

client.on("guildMemberUpdate", (oldMember, newMember) => {
    // Check if the member wasn't boosting before, but is now.
    if (!oldMember.premiumSince && newMember.premiumSince) {
        // Member started boosting.
    }
});

client.on("guildMemberUpdate", (oldMember, newMember) => {
    // Check if the member wasn't boosting before, but is now.
    if (!oldMember.premiumSince && newMember.premiumSince) {
        // Member started boosting.
    }
});

this only works in a scenario where the user has not boosted before and is boosting for the first time it is not possible to see when a user cancels their boost or boost server (for example if the user is already boosting the server and boost again, this if will return false) at least, Discord currently does not send an event to the bots when a user boosts a server or cancels a boost. I think this kind of approach is not a complete solution

i dont care for it to detect the second boost i just need to detect when a person boosts and unboosts maybe i can use the role for that? like check role updates

yeah but i need it to detect when they revoke the boost

    if (oldMember.premiumSince && !newMember.premiumSince) {

    }

    if (oldMember.premiumSince && !newMember.premiumSince) {

    }

will this work for that?

it is not possible to see when a user cancels their boost

ditoOP•4mo ago

i mean is it possible by checking their roles?

can•4mo ago

yes detecting 0 boost -> 1 boost & 1 boost -> 0 boost is possible by checking roles but revoking is not detectable

ditoOP•4mo ago

how is it not possible with this though? wdym revoking

can•4mo ago

like when someone has 2 boost & cancels 1 boost, you cant detect, because the user will still have a role

i dont care about the second boost. i only care if a person is boosting or not doesnt matter the quantity
