Track invite origin

Hello developers! I am trying to set up a tracker for different invite sources for my bot but I keep getting a Missing permissions error. The invite URL works fine for every use case. What kind of permission do I need to be able to fetch commands. Current intents: GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.GuildInvites

    const invites = await guild.invites.fetch(); // This is where it fails
    
    let inviteSource = "unknown";
    invites.forEach((invite) => {
      if (invite.url.includes("source=game")) {
        inviteSource = "in-game directory";
      } else if (invite.url.includes("source=app")) {
        inviteSource = "Bot";
      } else if (invite.url.includes("source=topgg")) {
        inviteSource = "top.gg";
      }
    });

    const invites = await guild.invites.fetch(); // This is where it fails
    
    let inviteSource = "unknown";
    invites.forEach((invite) => {
      if (invite.url.includes("source=game")) {
        inviteSource = "in-game directory";
      } else if (invite.url.includes("source=app")) {
        inviteSource = "Bot";
      } else if (invite.url.includes("source=topgg")) {
        inviteSource = "top.gg";
      }
    });

that endpoint requires the manage guild permission not sure what you think you are doing here discord doesn't have a source in the server invites

Thanks but wouldn't manage guild permission make people hesistant in adding the bot?

souji•3w ago

not sure what you expect me to say; that's the limitation the api enforces if you want to fetch invites, that's what the app needs

This is the one you are referring to right? I have custom URLs thsr contain source obviously wouldn't post without it I tried adding the permission and re inviting the bot still didn't work

souji•3w ago

those will not be saved by discord

LambrosOP•3w ago

Oh Well if get past the permission issue I will worry about that later

souji•3w ago

the permission issue is that the bot does not have a role with the manage server permission on the server you are trying to fetch invites from

LambrosOP•3w ago

Makes sense i remember couple years ago roles were created automatically for bots that joined I guess they changed that

souji•3w ago

the invite link can include permissions, if they do a role with those permissions is created, yes that's not guaranteed, people can just invite your app with another invite link
