get_member vs fetch_member

[faint quiver]

I understand get_member looks for the cached object and the fetch_member does an api request. However if get_member doesn't return anything from the cache does it try and make a request after? or do I have to implement this logic myself?

ie

member = client.get_member(id)
if not member:
  member = client.fetch_member(id)

fetch member can be said as having a guarantee to getting the object

[spare slate]

it will not mke a reqiest after

[faint quiver]

in what case would you want it to maybe get the member

• get_member: obtain the Member from the cache. if not in cache, return None. does not make an API request
• fetch_member: obtain the Member from the cache. if not in cache, make an API request (ensuring there will be a Member object).
  • if force=True, always make an API request
