Can't figure out this webhook thing. SOS

[woeful marsh]

    @listen(MessageCreate)
    async def on_message_create(self, event: MessageCreate):
        message = event.message
        if message.webhook_id:
            webhook = await self.bot.http.get_webhook(
                webhook_id=message.webhook_id
            )

This results in

GET::https://discord.com/api/v10: 403
Ignoring exception in MessageCreate(): HTTPException: 403|Forbidden || internal network error

I've been trying to figure out how to get a webhook object for like 2 days now and need help

Hey! Once your issue is solved, press the button below to close this thread!

@paper abyss did you miss something?

the reason is because i need to listen for webhook messages to relay PluralKit proxy messages, and i came to this decision because skipping message.author.bot messages also skips webhooks. so i need to filter by getting the webhook name and checking if it begins with "PluralKit" or something

[woeful marsh]

bump

@woeful marsh Two questions:

1. Does your bot have access to the server the webhook is in?
2. Can your bot see the channel that the webhook is in?

[woeful marsh]

yes x2

[flint maple]

Does your bot have permision to manage webhooks?

[woeful marsh]

shit it doesnt. ill test again tomorrow

[flint maple]

Pro-tip: 403's from the API only return if the application doesn't have access to it in some way. Unless you were trying to mess with beta features, (which then it's obvious you can't access it) you should check application permissions and the applied scopes it has

Any luck?

[woeful marsh]

im tired

spent the whole day away from a computer servicing a vacuum and fixing a car lol

tomorrow maybe ill try

I'm inclined to close this because I cannot replicate the issue you're having

With the correct permissions, this method works properly

[woeful marsh]

managed to get it working with this

async def get_webhook(self, webhook_id: Snowflake_Type) -> WebhookData:
    return cast(
        WebhookData,
        await self.bot.http.request(
            Route("GET", f"/webhooks/{webhook_id}", webhook_id=webhook_id)
        ),
    )

[woeful marsh]

for some reason it still 403'd with webhook permissions and self.bot.http.get_webhook

full working example:

from interactions import (
    Extension,
    Message,
    message_context_menu,
    ContextMenuContext,
    Permissions,
    Snowflake_Type,
)
from interactions.api.http.route import Route

from typing import cast
from discord_typings import WebhookData

from config.config import SERVER_ID
from pasta import Client


class Debugging(Extension):
    def __init__(self, bot: Client):
        self.bot: Client = bot

    async def get_webhook(self, webhook_id: Snowflake_Type) -> WebhookData:
        return cast(
            WebhookData,
            await self.bot.http.request(
                Route("GET", f"/webhooks/{webhook_id}", webhook_id=webhook_id)
            ),
        )

    @message_context_menu(
        name="Get Message Info",
        scopes=[SERVER_ID],
        dm_permission=False,
        default_member_permissions=Permissions.ADMINISTRATOR,
    )
    async def get_message_info(self, ctx: ContextMenuContext):
        message = ctx.target
        if not isinstance(message, Message):
            return

        info = (
            f"**Message Info**\n"
            f"**Author:** {message.author}\n"
            f"**Content:** {message.content}\n"
            f"**Timestamp:** {message.timestamp}\n"
        )

        if webhook_id := message.webhook_id:
            webhook = await self.get_webhook(webhook_id)
            info += (
                f"**Webhook ID:** {webhook['id']}\n"
                f"**Webhook App ID:** {webhook['application_id']}\n"
                f"**Webhook Name:** {webhook['name']}\n"
            )

        await ctx.send(info, ephemeral=True)
