Get reactions by message ID

[loud finch]

Hi, i have this code:

@bot.slash_command(description="Krijg alle reacties te zien!")
async def ad_poll_resultaat(inter, msg_id):
        channel = bot.get_channel(inter.channel.id)
        reactions = await channel.fetch_message(msg_id)
        print(reactions)

Now i want to get the reactions that are in that message. I also want the text inside that same message. Is that possible? I did find online the fetch_message() part.

[tropic pulsar]

Message has .reactions and .content attribute

[loud finch]

Got a error:
AttributeError: 'coroutine' object has no attribute 'reactions'

@bot.slash_command(description="Krijg alle reacties te zien!")
async def ad_poll_resultaat(inter, msg_id):
        channel = bot.get_channel(inter.channel.id)
        reaction = await channel.fetch_message(msg_id).reactions
        print(reaction)```

channel.fetch_message returns a coroutine

i.e. you have to await it before you can do anything further with it

[loud finch]

I do have it awaited right?

reaction = await channel.fetch_message(msg_id).reactions

[tropic pulsar]

That's doing something like await (Coroutine().reactions)

Attribute access binds tighter than await

[loud finch]

So in my case:
await (channel.fetch_message("1043874475986395206").reactions) right?

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):

[potent vine]

no, almost there

you want to specifically await the fetch_message call

think of it as two steps:

msg = await channel.fetch_message(...)
reaction = msg.reactions
```which, when combined into one line, gives 
```py
reaction = (await channel.fetch_message(...)).reactions

Ah now i got it

Yes it works! Thank you so mutch

[potent vine]

[loud finch]

Same can i use for content right

[tropic pulsar]

If you need two attributes off the message, you should really just await the fetch and assign the result to a variable as the message

[loud finch]

Bu tthen i got:
<Message id=1043874475986395206 channel=<TextChannel id=979395372738818112 name='adtg-gaming-night' position=4 nsfw=False news=False category_id=979395372738818111 default_auto_archive_duration=1440 flags=<ChannelFlags value=0>> type=<MessageType.application_command: 20> author=<Member id=979388071617372210 name='Adje-Dev' discriminator='6811' bot=True nick=None guild=<Guild id=979395371992240198 name='AllDayDev' shard_id=0 chunked=True member_count=6>> flags=<MessageFlags value=0>> and not the content

[tropic pulsar]

...you have a message, just grab the two attributes you need off it?

[loud finch]

I need the text

[tropic pulsar]

so message.content

and message.reactions

[loud finch]

Print nothing

[tropic pulsar]

That's a different issue

[loud finch]

@bot.slash_command(description="Krijg alle reacties te zien!")
async def ad_poll_resultaat(inter, msg_id):
        channel = bot.get_channel(inter.channel.id)
        msg = await channel.fetch_message(msg_id)

        print(msg.reactions)
        print(msg.content)```

Ah

[tropic pulsar]

...why are you using the channel's ID to grab the exact same channel

channel = bot.get_channel(inter.channel.id)

that's just inter.channel lol

[loud finch]

Ah it's a embed, and wont get stuff from a embed

[loud finch]

Fair

[tropic pulsar]

Embeds lie under message.embeds

[loud finch]

Ah okey

[loud finch]

It works! Thanks!
