coral moth How do I get the first message in the channel?

use channel.history with limit=1 and oldest_first=True

coral moth Sep 5, 2022, 1:12 AM

#

Ok I got <discord.iterators.HistoryIterator object at 0x0000024E7701C490>

fresh sandal Sep 5, 2022, 1:12 AM

#

see how to use it at https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.TextChannel.history

coral moth How can I get a message out of this?

literally that link

#

Unfortunately, what is written there did not help me.

#

    @discord.ui.button(label="", custom_id="button-6", row=1, style=discord.ButtonStyle.secondary, emoji=":view:") 
    async def button_callback6(self, button, interaction):
        channel = interaction.client.get_channel(interaction.user.voice.channel.id)
        mess = channel.history(limit=1, oldest_first=True).flatten()
        print(mess)

When the button is activated, it writes this
<coroutine object _AsyncIterator.flatten at 0x000001C2525636F0>

#

you have to await it

#

alsopy channel = interaction.client.get_channel(interaction.user.voice.channel.id)why...

coral moth Sep 5, 2022, 1:43 AM

#

Because I need to take the first message from the voice channel

#

The bottom line is that the bot creates a channel, moves the participant there and writes his id to the chat and I need to get this id

fresh sandal Sep 5, 2022, 1:48 AM

#

yeah but

#

interaction.user.voice.channel.id

#

you can just use interaction.user.voice.channel instead of get_channel

coral moth Sep 5, 2022, 1:49 AM

#

I can not

fresh sandal Sep 5, 2022, 1:50 AM

#

remove .id

#

and again, you need to await channel.history

coral moth Sep 5, 2022, 1:51 AM

#

Now another error

#

?? what's your code now

coral moth Sep 5, 2022, 1:51 AM

#

@discord.ui.button(label="", custom_id="button-6", row=1, style=discord.ButtonStyle.secondary, emoji=":view:")
async def button_callback6(self, button, interaction):
channel = interaction.user.voice.channel
mess = channel.history(limit=1, oldest_first=True).flatten()
print(mess)

fresh sandal Sep 5, 2022, 1:52 AM

#

fresh sandal and again, you need to `await channel.history`

^

coral moth Sep 5, 2022, 1:52 AM

#

#

Thanks

#

Now it writes clear text

congratz

#

so what do you want it to do

coral moth Sep 5, 2022, 2:01 AM

#

bold sierra so what do you want it to do

I want to get the first message from the voice channel and get the text from the embed message

bold sierra Sep 5, 2022, 2:05 AM

#

In order to get the embed object from a message, you can use message.embeds. This will return you a list of embeds that the message has.

#

so how i would do it personlly is

#

instead of flatten cuz idk what that is lol for loop through it than get message.embeds.description

#

or somthing like that

coral moth Sep 5, 2022, 2:06 AM

#

So far, the only problem is getting the message id

coral moth Sep 5, 2022, 2:06 AM

#

coral moth ```py [<Message id=1016158551154102333 channel=<VoiceChannel id=1016158545017843...

I don't understand how to get it from there

vapid gulch Sep 5, 2022, 2:19 AM

#

coral moth ```py @discord.ui.button(label="", custom_id="button-6", row=1, style=discord.Bu...

mess is a list of message objects

#

or in your case, a list of the first message in that channel as a list of discord.Message object

coral moth Sep 5, 2022, 12:22 PM

#

That is, just attribute to mess.content?

vapid gulch Sep 5, 2022, 4:23 PM

#

coral moth That is, just attribute to mess.content?

mess[0].content
