you are missing str before (interaction.user)

loud sail
#

@proud mason
that doesn't work either.

image.png image.png
proud mason
#

so try (interaction.user.name + interaction.user.discriminator).lower()...

midnight torrent
#

hashtags cant be used in channel names i do believe

proud mason
#

you can check if a response has been sent before (defer is a valid response)

midnight torrent
proud mason
#

.rtfm interactionresponse.is_done

winter condorBOT
proud mason
#

that would return bool based on if a response was sent earlier

midnight torrent
#

i see i see, i normally defer all my commands due to them using FFMPeg and longer processes, in my error handler i also have a defer for if a check fails

#

and it was causing some issues

#

i made a check like this for the actual error response

yeah

proud mason
#

yea why not

midnight torrent
#

so i can iterate through them

#

would i just do smth like list[discord.Attachment] ?

proud mason
#

oh no you cant get a list of them

midnight torrent
#

fuuuck

proud mason
#

each option can only be 1 attachment

midnight torrent
#

damn

#

oh well

proud mason
#

yeah 🤷‍♂️

midnight torrent
#

tbf, everthing is handled in memory so it wouldnt be so good to have a multi file option

proud mason
#

you could make the user send the attachments in a separate message and use bot.wait_for

midnight torrent
#

piping was enough work ill just leave it lol

#

actually, pycord supports reading audio from voice channels correct?

Question

I am trying to align my buttons im using a class with 2 buttons in, but they are displaying ontop of each other, Is there anyway i can align them to be on the same row side by side without using [button1][button2] in 1 line of code? this is my code :

'''
class MyView(discord.ui.View):
    @discord.ui.button(label="Right", row=0, style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, emoji='❤️')
    async def first_button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("User was notifed")

    @discord.ui.button(label="Left", row=3, style=discord.ButtonStyle.red, emoji="❌")
    async def seccond_button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("Keep Swiping")

@bot.slash_command()
async def button(ctx):
    await ctx.respond("Left Or Right?", view=MyView())
'''
limber urchin
#

Why are you setting row=0 and row=3?

fervent cradle
#

I was just testing it, its meant to be row=0 and row=1

#

the issue still happens with that set

limber urchin
#

But why? If you want them to appear on the same row why would you set them on different rows?

fervent cradle
#

omg

#

Im such a dumbass

#

Oh god i feel dumb, thank you very much for the help 😭

#

I dont know how i have my degree

Hellooo, i have a problem. I tried to handle errors globally, however, it does not even check. (I still get the errors in the console).```py
@bot.event
async def on_application_command_error(context: discord.ApplicationContext , exception):
print('a')
embed = discord.Embed(color=colors['fail'])
embed.set_author(name='Command failed. the Tech development responsible has been notified.')
await context.respond(embed=embed)
embed2 = discord.Embed(color=colors['blurple'], description='Error caught! More information below.', fields=[discord.EmbedField(name='Error', value=str(exception)), discord.EmbedField(name='User', value=context.user.mention), discord.EmbedField(name='Command', value=context.command.n)])
await bot.get_channel(1077607429929455757).send(embed=embed2)

@bot.command()
async def raisee(ctx):
ctx.respond('this is gonna be a error as it's not awaited.')

#

Bot is not subclassed

limber urchin
#

Try @bot.event()

I'm assuming you are actually using application commands and not prefixed commands?

limber urchin

And you do not have any error handlers specifically set on your commands?

verbal gulch
#

No, i don't

limber urchin

I honestly don't know, that should work

If anyone knows how to solve it, please ping me.

proud mason

maybe raise a fake error yourself

Like what?

proud mason

hmm

Maybe a missing permissions could work

When setting a URL in a button it says I cant set both custom_id and url

#

Even though i have not set custom_id

#

400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body

#

"A custom id and url cannot both be specified"

frank thistle
#

Thats literally it

#

Im not setting a customid

dusky sorrel
#

wait yeah i see that wtf

young bone
#

you set the url at the view class and not the button

frank thistle
#

Tried setting it to None and it still gives the same error

dusky sorrel
#

ah

frank thistle
#

🤔

frank thistle
young bone
#

button(label="", url="")

frank thistle
#

I want to set it outside of the class since I cant pass the 'tornid' to the class can I?

#

Its not a fixed url

#

You can change all the other attributes outside the button class, why not the url

#

How do you add a url to a button thonking

errant craneBOT
#

Here's the link example.

proud mason
#

cant use the decorator

#

cuz there isnt any callback

frank thistle
#

I just tried that

#

TypeError: button() got an unexpected keyword argument 'url'

#

Got that

#

Oh

#

Lowerclass button, monkey brain moment

proud mason

#

Okay got a button added

Table with a row of words

A = 0
while(Table 1 has more rows){
      Read the first row X in Table 1
      i = 1, B = True
      while(i <= X.LetterCount){
            if(ith letter of X.Word is a vowel){
               B = False
            }
            i = i + 1
      }
      if(B){
         A = A + 1
      }
      Move X to Table 2
}

Number of words with at most one vowel

Number of words with exactly one vowel

Number of words without any vowels

Number of words with at least one vowel
?

frank thistle
#

Im guessing you cant have a button with a url do both something and link them somewhere

#

Like say update the message the button was on

proud mason
#

Unlike normal ones

proud mason

#

Alright, its a sacrifice then

How do I add logic to parent command? Example:

@commands.group(name="cmd")
async def cmd(self, ctx: Context, user: Member):
  # logic for invocation with user

@cmd.command(name="addrole")
async def addrole(self, ctx: Context, role: Role):
  # logic for subcommand

The problem I am having is that if I use <prefix>cmd addrole @some-role it executes the cmd function passing addrole to it in place of the user arguemnt instead of going through the subcommand. I tried

@commands.group(name="cmd")
async def cmd(self, ctx: Context, user: Member):
  if not ctx.invoked_subcommand is None:
    return

but that doesn't work :(

Cant have best of both worlds

How exactly do they differ and when should I use which one?

there's also MessageCommand, which is the same as UserCommand but for right clicking messages

grizzled sentinel
#

That means you are taking longer than 3 seconds to respond to the interaction.

#

you will need to defer

#

.rtfm InteractionResponse.defer

winter condorBOT
young bone
cyan quail
#

interaction.channel.send should be interaction.response.send_message

#

but if you defer, it should be interaction.followup.send

grizzled sentinel
#

The first line in your callback should be defer if you defer. You need to tell discord asap that you are defering.

cyan quail
#

(why don't we have interaction.respond??)

grizzled sentinel
cyan quail
#

no ignore me

#

it's because you're doing if/else

#

you have to respond once

#

yeah pretty much

Hey im probably just being hella dumb and its probably my ass python knowledge. But how can I ctx.send this function outcome? here is my function:

def profile_Embed(message_About, message_Age):
    embed=discord.Embed(title="Here is LeeT's profile", color=0xbc7ba5)
    embed.set_author(name="Bailey", url="https://", icon_url="https://i.")
    embed.set_thumbnail(url="https://i.imgur")
    embed.set_image(url="https://medi-ng.jpg?s=612x612&w=0&k=20&c=1Ws_LSzWjYvegGxHYQkkgVytdpDcnmK0upJyGOzEPcg=")
    embed.add_field(name="About Me?", value=message_About.content, inline=True)
    embed.add_field(name="Age?", value=message_Age.content, inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name="Where From?", value="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet", inline=True)
    embed.set_footer(text="Bi v0.01 - LeeT#4281")

    #i want this to straight send it once the function is ran within the async
    return (ctx.send(embed=embed))

profile_Embed(message_About, message_Age)
silver moat
#

await it

fervent cradle
#

Throws an error the await needs to be in a async

#

ive already tried that

silver moat
fervent cradle
#

The function is placed outside of the async, but im calling the function within the async

#

But if i place my function within the async, theres no point in having a function/subroutine

silver moat
#

I mean to await profile_Embed

#

Also, the Python convention is to use snake_case for function, variable, parameter, etc. names.

Hii, somehow i broke my send embed function and i dont even know what happened because i didnt touched it

This is the Part i think is most relevant, because error tells me there is no .send method for NoneType - but why is my notification_channel NoneType. This exact snippet is currently working on my main bot instance

These can be used to make API calls when you have channel id and/or message id, and you don't want to rely on the cache to have their objects.

Methods which can be used on them are -

Example Usage:

async def star_message(channel_id: int, message_id: int):

    # Get Partial Messageable object. Docs-
    # https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_partial_messageable
    partial_channel = bot.get_partial_messageable(channel_id)

    # Get Partial Message. Docs-
    # https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.PartialMessageable.get_partial_message
    partial_message = partial_channel.get_partial_message(message_id)

    # Add a reaction
    await partial_message.add_reaction(":star:")

Ok, thanks - will have a look at it

Any thoughts on why this worked before and suddenly stopped working?

I subclass, but I don't overwrite any functions other than on_ready

double checked the id is correct and bot is part of the guild so it's probably the cache part - thanks m8 =)

I've checked and its the self.http.close() call within bot.close() that's hanging

How do I check how many times a command has been ran throughout the bots time?

#

Do I need to save it in a database/make a counter for it myself or is there a pycord function that does it for me

proud mason
#

.rtfm command_completion

winter condorBOT
proud mason
#

uh there is supposed to be on_command_completion prefix cmds too

#

not sure why it didnt show up in the tag

sinful pivot
#

I don't need prefix cmds, I use slash commands

proud mason
#

ah

proud mason
sinful pivot
#

Anyways, I suppose I use this for #1078304324066746478 aswell right?

#

Cause it's basically the same thing

proud mason
sinful pivot
#

Yeah I know

proud mason
#

cool

sinful pivot
#

application_command will run when the command is ran, if a check returns False and it returns it'll still pop up in that event
in the completion one, when all checks have passed and the command completes without any errors, that's when the completion event is trigered

#

Right?

proud mason
#

yep perfect

sinful pivot
#

big brain

proud mason
proud mason
sinful pivot
#

Yeah can do that

#

or I can have a db table which has entries for tutorials & just check if there's an entry for the user that ran the command or not

#

Which one would be better in your opinion?

this was the command "python -m pip install python-dotenv"

i also tried to uninstall it and reinstalling it wit a flag called "--no-cache-dir" so it wont reuse what was previously installed in case that there were corrupted files

If the button is on the message you want to delete, you can just get the message from the interaction of the button callback (https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.Interaction.message, idk how to use the bot). if not you have to save it in a db

i want help

actually when someone uses a command bot stops responding untill the command gets processed.

#

and its an chat bot model.

#

so it takes 2-4 sometimes 20 seconds to process a request.

#

i am using await. i tried making another fucntion and then starting as thread

#

but does not work it says use await.

#

i want the that if a user uses a command and then bot should start a background process.

#

and continue the work. so that i do not makes much delay.

?tag requests

obtuse juncoBOT
#

Why you should not use the requests library for your bot
requests is a popular HTTP library for Python. It is however not a good option for Discord bots, since it is not async and blocking.

This essentially means that your bot will not be able to execute any code at all while a request is happening. Since requests usually take a few seconds to complete, this can have a detrimental effect on your bot's performance. E.g if a user executes a command that performs a request taking 5 seconds to complete, no one else will be able to use your bot for those 5 seconds.

Please look at using a HTTP library that has async support, such as aiohttp or httpx

#

oh dear, here we go again

pale quest
#

`def sjjsjsj(msg):
#done some processing
return request

#on_message:

if 'tag' in message.content:
await message.channel.send(sjjsjsj(msg))`

its something like this

#

i want that

#

if 'tag' in message.content: startbackgroun()

It seems to me that you are trying something that is above your skill level at the moment. hides

as shown in the image

please ping me on responce

#

is it possible to delete the discord thing for This message is pinned when i pin a message?

#

and delete that on the command function(not having to use events and all that stuff)

young bone
proud mason
#

I'm not sure what the check would be

calm plume
#

doesn't make sense

proud mason
proud mason
#

Pin a message, wait for the system message, delete the system message

#

Looks right to me

calm plume
#

but like im doing the pin from the bot

#

and i wanna delete it immediately

proud mason
#

Yea so

errant craneBOT
#

Here's the wait for event example.

proud mason
#

See how that works

#

You would be waiting for a message event for the system message after pinning

calm plume
#

But i am telling u

#

i am using the bot

#

and don't want events

proud mason
#

How does a bot function without events....

calm plume
#

like

await message.pin()
calm plume
#

but

proud mason
calm plume
proud mason
#

Pin the message, use bot.wait_for to wait for the system message event to come to your bot, then delete that message

calm plume
#

ok give me an example

proud mason
proud mason
calm plume
#

but the problem is it will probably block the code as it will wait for the message

#

like

# 
# stuff
def check():
  # ...
pin_msg = bot.wait_for(check = check)
await pin_msg.delete() # this won't probably execute as it has to wait for a new pin message
proud mason
# 
await msg.pin()
sys_msg = await bot.wait_for('message', check=check)
await sys_message.delete()

Figure out check on your own. Hint - it's related to msg.type

calm plume
#

tbh what im trying to tell u

proud mason
calm plume
calm plume
#

ur executing msg.pin() first

#

then bot.wait_for

proud mason
#

Yes i agree there is a very tiny time lag

#

You could use asyncio.gather to launch 2 tasks simultaneously

calm plume
#

this could work

proud mason
#

Yea you would need to structure your code a bit differently ofc

calm plume
#

i get it

proud mason
#

Try using bot.load_extentions and pass the folder name

#

The library should load files inside recursively

Hey quick question, Do discord bots come under much SQL injection when using an SQL database

spare juniper
#

if your sql database is insecure it can be attacked

grizzled sentinel
#

Yeah, very high risk

spare juniper
#

now will people want to attack your sql database? maybe

#

although if you mess up it wont be hard to hack it

always assume the user is a hacker

fervent cradle
#

so a 20 minute db job just turned into a good 2 hour 😭 Okay cheers thanks for the help

Any user input is a risk.

SQL Injection is a technique used by attackers to interfere with and alter queries that an application makes to its database via input data. A vulnerability to this exploit can lead to attackers being able to read sensitive data, modify existing data (Insert/Update/Delete), perform administrative operations on your database and in some cases even issue commands directly to the operating system of the server.

More information on SQL Injection
https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_injection.asp
https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/SQL_Injection

To avoid SQL Injection vulnerability, you should never directly merge or concatenate data into an SQL query through string operations (f-strings, + operator, string interpolation with %, etc.). Always use the parameterized queries included with the library you are using.

Examples of parameterized queries for popular libraries
psycopg2: https://www.psycopg.org/docs/usage.html#passing-parameters-to-sql-queries
asyncpg: https://magicstack.github.io/asyncpg/current/usage.html
sqlite3: https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html#how-to-use-placeholders-to-bind-values-in-sql-queries
mysql: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-python/en/connector-python-api-mysqlcursor-execute.html

fervent cradle
#

even then its still prone to attacks

limber urchin
#

SQL injections are always a risk if you're lazy

#

Use parameterized queries

spare juniper
#

and what are these attacks

grizzled sentinel
#

I use asyncpg as my connecter lib and they say that they protect against SQL injection if you use arguments in the SQL and not directly insert it.

limber urchin
#

^^ aka parameterized query

spare juniper
#

if i sanitize inputs and use secure sql libs i should be fine right

#

or is there another attack i need to worry about

fervent cradle
# 
    mycursor.execute(f"INSERT INTO `Profile` (`User_Id`, `Name`, `About`, `Age`, `Gender`, `Location`) VALUES ('{user}', '{name}', '{about}', '{age}', '{gender}', '{location}')")

So smth like this would be shit? its just basic as fuck, so i need to parametrize it?

and im using PostgreSQL

Thank you

olive marsh
#

I'm trying to make a Rock Paper Scissors command, where you can play with other users. I'm almost 2 hours on this and it says Member has no attribute lower. It can't work. What am I doing wrong?

Screenshot_31.png
#

I'm 100% sure I screwed up but I don't know where and how I did

olive marsh
#

🥲

proud mason
olive marsh
#

I just wanna take mentioned user input 🥲

olive marsh
proud mason
#

and bot.wait_for doesnt work that way. what are you trying to do

proud mason
olive marsh
proud mason
#

so use checks

#

and event should be "message"

olive marsh
#

Would that be waiting for author input?

proud mason
#

.rtfm wait_for

winter condorBOT
olive marsh
proud mason
#

that has an example

olive marsh
#

I want it to wait for mentioned user input

proud mason
#

you can have check like msg.author == member

olive marsh
proud mason
#

so maybe define a function inside a cmd, or use lambda if you wanna keep stuff simple

olive marsh
#

Let me try

#

.rtfm wait_for

winter condorBOT
proud mason
# olive marsh Let me try

oh and btw, wait_for will return the message, so take the content from that message and set it to member_value

olive marsh
#

await allowed only within async function

#

what?

#

I just want to take input from the mentioned user 😣

#

I'm so confused

#

And frustrated

proud mason
#

can you show the updated code?

olive marsh
#

It's inside a command with async function

proud mason
#

full error?

olive marsh
#

Maybe I should just quit

#

Easier

proud mason
#

no no you are very close

olive marsh
#

Bullcrap :/

proud mason
olive marsh
#

Give me a sec

proud mason
#

if you wanna which ones, 78 and 83 (if you use lambda)

proud mason
olive marsh
#

How do I even start with this? I'm confused

Screenshot_32.png
proud mason
olive marsh
#

oh

proud mason
#

i also recommended checking message channel is same as ctx.channel

olive marsh
#

so, def check(message: discord.Message):
return message.author == member and message.channel == ctx.channel
?

proud mason
olive marsh
#

and next I need to fix the try lines, right?

#

so await bot.wait_for('message' OR message?

proud mason
proud mason
olive marsh
#

and now how do I store the reply to a variable? Oh wait dumb question

#

I can just put the message variable to if statements, right?

proud mason
olive marsh
#

Awesome

proud mason
#

message.content would have the content

olive marsh
proud mason
olive marsh
#

My god thank you

#

if statements should be inside the check function?

proud mason
olive marsh
#

it says message is not defined

proud mason
#

can you show updated code?

#

and the error

olive marsh
#

should I define it outside of the check function too?

proud mason
#

you will get the message object from wait_for

olive marsh
#

What?

#

oh

#

Now it seems ok

#

let me put the right variable in the if statements now and I'll try to run it

#

all my friends are offline rn jesus

#

I can't even test it 😂

at line 80

olive marsh
#

oh

proud mason
#

(or you could defer but then it would look in a weird order)

#

you can even send an ephemeral response at the beginning saying smth like "game started". and then use ctx.send everywhere else in the code

olive marsh
#

So close

Screenshot_35.png
proud mason
#

👀

olive marsh
#

I think I know the problem

#

I think

#

Oh

#

Oh no I don't

#

I think I know what to do

#

Instead of trying to use a variable for the final ctx respond, I'll just add await ctx.respond to every if statement

#

Because it has issues with the variable

proud mason
olive marsh
#

It doesnt highlight it on message.content. Will it still work?

#

message.content.lower()

#

or I could put message.content to a variable, right?

#

example: member_value = message.content

#

still not highlighted...

#

Oh my god

It's working

proud mason
proud mason

I was about to cry for real

calm plume
#

is there any way to speed up fetch message

#

or nah

limber urchin
#

Depends on how you're doing it

#

if you mean literally the function, no, it runs as it is. It depends a lot on your network speed and how close your host is to the Discord API servers.

#

But you should always do a get_message first, because if the message is in the bot's cache, it will be almost instant instead of fetching through Discord API.

calm plume
#

ok

#

another quick question

#

can i make this line faster?

if msg.author in await msg.reactions[0].users().flatten(): val += 1
if msg.author in await msg.reactions[1].users().flatten(): val += 1
limber urchin
#

Use asyncio.gather to run the coroutines concurrently.

calm plume
proud mason
calm plume
#

and i found its slower

proud mason
#

How did you do those?

limber urchin
#

They will probably be slower if you use them incorrectly

calm plume
# 
results = await asyncio.gather(msg.reactions[0].users().flatten(), msg.reactions[1].users().flatten(), return_exceptions=True)
limber urchin
#

And that was slower? How did you measure that?

calm plume
#

with the time

#

i got start = time_perf_counter()

#

and yknow

proud mason
#

Why not use async iterator? It will break the loop when you find the member and should save you some time

calm plume
#

like async for?

proud mason
#

Yes

calm plume
#

ik il try

#

doesn't seem like it

took 0.31s to update
took 1.52s to update theme reactions
took 2.49s to update theme reactions
took 1.65s to update theme reactions
took 1.43s to update theme reactions
#

compared to original

#

oh wait nvm

#

original is quite unbalanced

#

sometimes it takes 1 second, other times 22 seconds

limber urchin
#

What is your bot's latency to the Discord API?

#

That might be due to rate limits then

calm plume
calm plume
limber urchin
#

or whatever your client var is called

#

.rtfm latency

winter condorBOT
calm plume
#

it says 0.16324486599999988 seconds when i do it on the event @on_ready

limber urchin
#

So that'd be 163ms

#

not that bad

calm plume
#

so its the code that causes it

limber urchin
#

Eh, could be a lot of things. Since it's so inconsistent it's probably not the code

#

Well not the code itself at least

proud mason
#

It also largely depends on the number of reactions on the message

#

But not 22 seconds ofc

limber urchin
#

Are you using any hosting platform? Or just from home?

calm plume
#

from home

#

i didn't host it yet

#

u want to examine the code or nah?

limber urchin
#

Well my guess is that you're being ratelimited somehow. That would probably cause a pretty long wait time on some API calls

calm plume
#

here it is if u want to view it

async def reaction_change(payload):
    start = time.perf_counter()
    msg: discord.Message = await most_used["theme_vote"].fetch_message(payload.message_id)
    db = sqlite3.connect("./DB/Main.db")
    cursor = db.cursor()
    theme_msg = cursor.execute("SELECT Author_ID FROM theme_msgs WHERE MSG_ID = ?", [payload.message_id]).fetchall()
    db.close()
    try:
        if theme_msg[0][0] == payload.user_id:
            return
    except IndexError: pass
    val = 0
    results = await asyncio.gather(msg.reactions[0].users().flatten(), msg.reactions[1].users().flatten(), return_exceptions=True)
    for i in range(0, 1):
        if msg.author in await msg.reactions[i].users().flatten(): val += 1
    await theme_reaction_update(msg, val) # doesn't take much seconds only like 0.1 or even 0.0s in some cases
    with open ( "./Main.json", "r" ) as f :
        data = json.load (f)
        await update_leaderboard(data["jams"][leaderboard_index]["name"], most_used, columns) # same doesn't take too many seconds but does take ≈ 0.4s
    print(f"took {time.perf_counter() - start:.2f}s to update theme reactions")
#

i wrote comments to describe some functions how much time they take

#

and they aren't the problem

limber urchin
#

I assume that's an event listener?

calm plume
#

it listens to both add_reaction and remove_reaction

limber urchin
#

And how often does that event fire? Because if it's very often you're definitely going to be rate limited.

calm plume
#

well depends if the users are reacting to the messages on that time

#

if i spam it occurs(which i assume is the rate limit)

#

if i take it more "gentle"

#

it doesn't show the issue

limber urchin
#

Well yeah, spamming is going to cause a rate limit. So that's why you're getting really long wait times sometimes

calm plume
#

and yeh i wanna update it in real time

limber urchin
#

There's no way to get around the rate limit. So you'll need to find a workaround, or just deal with the long wait times.

calm plume
#

any workarounds u suggest to take into account?

limber urchin
#

One thing you should do is not use fetch_message on every event. Use get_message, if that returns None, try fetch_message

calm plume
limber urchin
#

And I would also not use a json file to store any frequently read data. Read the file into a variable that can be accessed from that function and refer to that.

calm plume
# 
AttributeError: 'TextChannel' object has no attribute 'get_message'
#

i don't use it often

#

nvm

#

its bot.get_message()

blissful hazel
limber urchin
#

But even then, caching is better if it's frequently accessed

calm plume
#

but i might provide in the future some more arguments

#

and json isn't a main issue

bot = discord.Bot(intents = discord.Intents.all())

  print(f"{bot.user} is ready and online!")

  for member in bot.get_all_members():
    if member.display_name == 'TheRuminator':
      print(member.id)``` why does this print my id twice?
silver moat
tired goblet
#

oh okay

#

so the get all members gets them from a cache?

silver moat
#

In pycord, get refers to cache while fetch refers to API requests

tired goblet
#

okay

#

so i can just replace get with fetch then?

silver moat
#

i don’t think there exists a method

tired goblet
#

ah okay that method doesnt exist

silver moat
#

.rtfm fetch_all

winter condorBOT
#

Target not found, try again and make sure to check your spelling.

limber urchin
#

To actually get all members you would have to loop over the bot's guilds and fetch the members from each guild

tired goblet
#

oh okay

#

hmm, i think its safe to get them from get if i face problems, i'll try looking for a fetch method
