how do you plan to get the message?
chat history, stored in database, stored in some variable? or what else
worn pivot
so i would need to get the id from sending the msg over the webhook and store it in a json file

Why not to use json files for data storage
JSON files are commonly used to store data that is read by a program, however, they are unsuitable for storing dynamic data due to a number of reasons.
It is recommended to use a DBMS (Database Management System) as they come with optimized technologies for storing and retrieving information.
Advantages of using a database:
- Database tables can be related, making it easy to separate your information into multiple tables and only fetch what you need
- Databases allow you to use a query/data processing language to make complex data operations easier with less code
- One misplaced character will corrupt an entire file. A database very rarely experiences corruptions due to their automatic handling of data integrity
- Transactions in SQL databases allow you to revert unwanted changes and prevent data corruption in the case of an error
- Databases have support for indexes, allowing retrieval of some data to be extremely fast
- It is very easy to update existing data in a database, as opposed to re-writing a file
- Databases are reliable
Popular database management systems:
- SQLite3 (File based, no need for a server setup, SQLite is the most used database engine in the world)
- MongoDB (Stores data in documents a similar manner to JSON format, easy for beginners)
- PostgreSQL (Very popular and robust SQL based database management system)
- MySQL (Another popular SQL based system, good start for learning SQL)

worn pivot
class WebhookInfo:
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
self.img_url = kwargs.get('img_url')
self.webhook_url = kwargs.get('webhook_url')
async def send_info(self, **kwargs):
info = kwargs.get('info')
description = kwargs.get('description')
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
webhook = Webhook.from_url(url=self.webhook_url, session=session)
await webhook.send(content=description, username=info, avatar_url=self.img_url)
webhook.send returns you an object of class WebhookMessage
that object will have an attribute called id
worn pivot
so i just print out the webhook?
scenic bolt
no?

quite new to python/coding sry
scenic bolt
wh_msg = await webhook.send(...)
wh_msg.id <- this has the id
its a good idea to learn some python concepts before stating a discord bot
discord bots are not a good first project
scenic bolt
`wh_msg = await webhook.send(...)`
`wh_msg.id` <- this has the id
this was the simplest anyone could tell lol
store wh_msg.id in a db
worn pivot
store `wh_msg.id` in a db
nah not for this
i would have a postgres db for that but nah
thanks for the help
scenic bolt
no worries
