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

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
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
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

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
Maybe map the data to make it a json or whatever, and put it in a file with fs, ...
This is what I was thinking of doing
lofty coral
Also no offense but this package is useless
lofty coral
This is what I was thinking of doing
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
Huh? It’s wrapping accessing their API, how is that useless?
Isn't the package made for a leveling system?
ionic anchor
since the bot is kinda kapoot rn
short coral
Isn't the package made for a leveling system?
No, the package is only for accessing the API of that bot
lofty coral
No, the package is only for accessing the API of that bot
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 }}))
Now pass that into AttachmentBuilder and set a name
ionic anchor
syntax is wrong but I blindly copied lol
ionic anchor
Now pass that into AttachmentBuilder and set a name
will it be a .json file at all?
idrk how buffers work... sorry
lofty coral
will it be a .json file at all?
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
