Fetch messages older than certain date
I'd like to fetch the most recent messages from a channel that are older than a specific timestamp. E.g. if my limit is 5 days, I want the most recent messages that are at least 5 days old. I noticed the
FetchMessagesOptions object has the before parameter, but it works with a specific message ID, not a timestamp.
Do I first need to get the oldest message that is less than 5 days old, and then use that message's ID as the before value? Because I'm not sure how I could do this efficiently without unnecessary API requests. Or is there a better way?2 Replies
• What's your exact discord.js
npm list discord.js and node node -v version?
• Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part!
• Show your code!
• Explain what exactly your issue is.
• Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers.To be clear, I'm not requesting code help - I can figure this out myself. I'm simply wondering if there's a more efficient way to do this with discord.js
Oh, I didn't realise that, thank you! That makes this much easier
