Help with attaching json data to attachment

[ionic anchor]

Hey,

So weird one, a popular bot called "AmariBot", their support server got nuked last night (for me) meaning the bot is also kinda dead currently. It does levelling and things.

The issue which I have is that I have some data which I utilise their api with, leaderboard and weekly leaderboard, looks like this (first ss), and I want to get that data and either write it to a file or send it as an attachment to a channel for safe keeping, but I'm not too sure how.

I tried using

Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(client.Giveaway.leaderboard.data))

But I got a SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token error

[short coral]

That isn’t pure JSON though. Those are actual class instances

[ionic anchor]

How would I be able to get like

I don't know how to word it

[short coral]

Well, what is it? Is it data from a db like mongoose or sequelize?

[ionic anchor]

No, it's using the amari api

[short coral]

Is that a npm package?

[ionic anchor]

https://amaribot.js.org/

Yh

I have the class as it comes with the npm thing iirc

The support server got nuked and a lot of servers aren't using the bot anymore due to who knows what's happening with it. So I'm trying to see if I can preserve the levels and things

[short coral]

That package seems to return raw JSON though, so it‘s weird that your log would show it as class instances of class Leaderboard and User there

[ionic anchor]

Could I maybe map over the data and create my own

I use getRawGuildLeaderboard which iirc I've got a slightly older version, since I did myself ask for a full leaderboard

[short coral]

I don’t See that in their docs or their repo anywhere, their API you linked to doesn’t have those

[ionic anchor]

That's the npm package

Looks like it completely died lol

https://www.npmjs.com/package/amaribot.js

here we go

[short coral]

But not their recent version, which version is it you use there? The current npm package only returns raw json, no structures

[ionic anchor]

1.6.1 💀, there's been a few updates since then lol

[lofty coral]

Maybe map the data to make it a json or whatever, and put it in a file with fs, and send it

[short coral]

You‘d want the .rawData property, as that’s the json you’re after

[ionic anchor]

This is what I was thinking of doing

[lofty coral]

Also no offense but this package is useless

[lofty coral]

Yes you can try that

[short coral]

Huh? It’s wrapping accessing their API, how is that useless?

[ionic anchor]

I'm gonna try making my own but it'll likely be hard with my current knowledge

[lofty coral]

Isn't the package made for a leveling system?

[ionic anchor]

since the bot is kinda kapoot rn

[short coral]

No, the package is only for accessing the API of that bot

[lofty coral]

Oh mb then, i though the package make you do a leveling system

[ionic anchor]

Ok, doing that I got a buffer

Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(client.Giveaway.leaderboard.data.map((val) => { return { id: val.id, username: val.username, exp: val.exp, level: val.level }}))

[short coral]

Now pass that into AttachmentBuilder and set a name

[ionic anchor]

syntax is wrong but I blindly copied lol

[ionic anchor]

will it be a .json file at all?

idrk how buffers work... sorry

[lofty coral]

yes?

[ionic anchor]

Ahhhhh

Yes

[lofty coral]

let buffer = Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(client.Giveaway.leaderboard.data.map((val) => ({ id: val.id, username: val.username, exp: val.exp, level: val.level }))))
let attachment = new AttachmentBuilder(buffer , { name: "file.json"})

something like this

[ionic anchor]

Yep

Got it

Thank you so much guys
