How do I get all the categories in a guild?

[rough citrus]

Not sure how to go about it

[ebon thunder]

you will need to fetch all the channels, and then sort the categories out from said channels.

how do I do that?

I saw something like this:

filter(lambda c: c.type is hikari.ChannelType.GUILD_CATEGORY, bot.cache.get_guild_channels_view_for_guild(...).values())

But it doesn't return anything

[ebon thunder]

your cache might be empty

try just simply getting the channels from the server, and say listing out the names

so fetching the channels, then doing a for loop through them

cache is great, but im fairly certain its only if something has been saved to the bots memory basically

where should I look in the docs for this?

[ebon thunder]

https://docs.hikari-py.dev/en/latest/reference/hikari/guilds/#hikari.guilds.Guild.get_channels

I think thats what you want

or something around it

thanks

how do I get the guild object?

nvm

[coral blade]

you typically don't need the object for anything in hikari.

get_ always indicates a cache call. fetch_ indicates an http request to discord.

so if get_guild_channels_view_for_guild didn't have the channels neither will Guild.get_channels. they use the same cache.
