Fetch all reactions from a message but without cache

Hey there, is that a way to fetch all reactions attached to a message without using the cache function? This is my current code

const mess = await i.fetchStarterMessage().catch(() => null);
               
                if(mess != null) {
                    const react = mess.reactions.cache.forEach(async (reaction) => {
                    const emojiName = reaction._emoji.name
                    const emojiCount = reaction.count 
                    });
                }

const mess = await i.fetchStarterMessage().catch(() => null);
               
                if(mess != null) {
                    const react = mess.reactions.cache.forEach(async (reaction) => {
                    const emojiName = reaction._emoji.name
                    const emojiCount = reaction.count 
                    });
                }

I looked for examples online and read through the documentation but I only found the "cache" function.

without cache, do you mean without iterating over each of the individual reactions?

No, I mean that I got the count wrong... e.g a message have 87 reactions but with that code above I just got 61 I’m using a variable to simply add the emoji count on each iteration and then console.log that variable to check the results Up! Is there no way to achieve this, right? I couldn't find a get or fetch command that is not using the cache.

i'm not sure what you are hoping to achieve here to explain this from the api - you request the message data, which includes reactions for each emoji - per emoji you can then request the users that reacted with that emoji in discord.js that means, when fetching the message, we create a reaction manager for it, which holds methods for removal adding, etc. for which the data is in the .cache each of those reaction structures will hold a user manager at .users which you can then fetch the users from that reacted with that specific emoji the managers here are the layer of wrapper abstraction we apply to be somewhat in line with object oriented programming principles vs. the raw REST route approach which the discord docs explain (just routes that return data - which you should cache so you don't make unnecessary requests (which is exactly what we do with the library))

you need to explain like this everytime 😭 so good

Thanks for the explanation. This help request comes from another thing that I asked here: https://discord.com/channels/222078108977594368/1295427588843372678 The issue I have right now is that when I export all the posts in a forum, the reaction numbers are not updated/synced with what is on the server. That looks exactly like what I need. Can you link to the documentation on both things (force fetch and update cache with reaction intents)?

Thanks! I added the reaction intents and everything seems to work as expected now
