Split API call results into multiple embeds?

[kindred edge]

Hello guys!
So i'm pretty new to coding and am trying to create a simple bot that would make an API call and post the result in a discord channel. I managed to get all the info i need but it can't post it because it exceeds characters limit.

Do you have any idea how i could split the results into multiple embeds?

Here's the API i'm making my call to: https://api.howrare.is/v0.1/drops (getting all results for the day)

Here's my code: https://srcshare.io/?id=62921e259ba7e81e5891a380

Thank you so much for your help ❤️

You can split those data into chunks

Do you have any idea how?

Im actually posting here cuz i don't know how lol

You want to just send multiple embeds in your message (will lead to a longer message) or have something like buttons so you can go thru different pages of data (more complicated)

How can i send multiple embeds in my message?

[silent stream]

channel.send({
embeds: [embed1, embed2, embed3]
})

You can have up to 10 embeds per message I believe

Ima try this thanks

Alright, i guess the content needs to be cut in chunks and each chunks put in each embed right?

[silent stream]

Right

[kindred edge]

Alright so i'm at the same point.. That was basically my question :/

im so lost it's killing me

There’s this util method https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/stable/class/Util but it seems to be deprecated

I can’t help u more till I’m on pc

[kindred edge]

Yeah, i've read about this but it's deprecated. I've looked at multiple ressources online but i cant figure it out :/

[kindred edge]

So i managed to create an embed for each but i still hit the limit of 10 embeds...
Is there a way to group them by 5 in each embed or some like that?

finals.forEach((final) => embeds.push(new MessageEmbed().setDescription(`\n**Name:** ${final.name}\n**Time:** ${final.time}\n**Price:** ${final.price}\n**Nft_count:** ${final.nft_count}\n**Extra:** ${final.extra}\n**Twitter:** ${final.twitter}\n**Discord:** ${final.discord}\n**Website:** ${final.website}`)));

interaction.reply({ embeds });```

well rather than creating an embed for each iteration, you could use <Array>.map to generate a new array of the information to put in a single embed

then after map you can use <Array>.join to join the elements of the array into a string to put in the embed description

[kindred edge]

Thing is it exceeds character limits in a single embed :/

[sick summit]

well arrays have a couple methods you could use to get sections from the array

[toxic agate]

Array.prototype.slice()
The slice() method returns a shallow copy of a portion of an array into a new array object selected from start to end (end not included) where start and end represent the index of items in that array. The original array will not be modified.

Array.prototype.splice()
The splice() method changes the contents of an array by removing or replacing existing elements and/or adding new elements in place. To access part of an array without modifying it, see slice().

or you could iterate and section it yourself manually

[kindred edge]

Alright... Too complicated for me. I guess i'll just abandon the project..

[sick summit]

up to you ¯_(ツ)_/¯
