I am trying to create a command in my bot that will delete all the bot's messages only. Is there a way to iterate through all the channel's messages and if it is a message the bot sent, the bot would delete it? I've understood delete_message but I can't figure out how to iterate through all the channel's messages, if that is even possible.
The following code wouldn't iterate through all the channel's messages, but it would delete the message if the author ID is 383804325077581834:
#bot.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author.id == '383804325077581834':
await bot.delete_message(message)
383804325077581834 is my bot's ID. So I would like to know how I can iterate through all channel messages and delete those that were sent by my bot. Thank you so much!
EDIT: Tried doing this:
#bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def delete(ctx, number):
msgs = []
number = int(number)
async for msg in bot.logs_from(ctx.message.channel, limit=number):
if msg.author.id == '383804325077581834':
msgs.append(msg)
await bot.delete_messages(msgs)
But I get the error discord.ext.commands.errors.MissingRequiredArgument: number is a required argument that is missing.
#bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def delete(ctx):
msgs = []
async for msg in bot.logs_from(ctx.message.channel):
if msg.author.id == '383804325077581834':
msgs.append(msg)
await bot.delete_messages(msgs)
The command you tried using needed a number parameter which would delete that number of messages from the channel.
The logs_from function will delete all messages from that channel if the limit is not passed into it.
EDIT: Forgot to remove number, whoops.

Hey everyone I want to delete all messages from a specific text channel I use this method
#client.event
async def on_message(message):
for guild in client.guilds:
for channel in guild.text_channels:
if channel.id == 818522056261369906:
await message.delete()
it works but it delete all text channels messages not just that text channel with the id above
What is the problem
it works but it delete all text channels messages not just that text channel with the id above What is the problem
You're deleting the message upon checking if a certain channel exists in your bot (i.e by checking if that channel exists in any of all the guilds your bot is in). You're not checking if the message's channel's id matches the provided ID or not. That's why it only checks if that specific channel exists and continues to delete the message regardless of weather they're in that specific channel or not.
for channel in guild.text_channels:
# you're checking if a certain channel in guild's
# text_channel matches the ID or not
if channel.id == 818522056261369906:
await message.delete()
But you ought to check if your message's channel's id matches the ID or not. You can do so by message.channel.id == 818522056261369906. So your code should look something like this
if message.channel.id == 818522056261369906:
await message.delete()
The simplest way to do this would be to include get_channel(id) and await purge if you want to continuously delete messages from a channel.
#client.event
async def on_message(message):
channel = client.get_channel(818522056261369906) # this gets the specific channel through id
await channel.purge()
await client.process_commands(message)
However, if you only want to purge it once in a given channel, you would use a #client.command with similar code as above.
#client.command()
async def test(ctx):
channel = ctx.channel # getting the current channel
await channel.purge()
Edit: Don't forget to add your await client.process_commands(message) if you're using both the commands extension and the on_message event!
I can send direct message through discord bot if I type something to trigger the event. But I don't know the way to let discord bot automatically send direct message when It meet specific condition
Here is my code for your query:
To make it send on command, do:
#bot.command()
async def dm(ctx):
await ctx.author.send("Hello, this is a DM!")
and then to make it send on an on_message trigger do:
#bot.event
async def on_message(message):
if "dm" == message.content.lower()
await message.author.send("Hello, this is a DM!")
What happens is to send a dm, send a message to the author. It's as simple as that. But for the on_message, we check if the message is "dm" in which case it dm's you.
You would first setup your bot and have it run. An example of this would be
#bot.event
async def on_message(message):
if "this triggers" in message.content:
await message.author.send("I just dmed you this message")
To check if it is in a guild message.guild != None will return True and message.guild.id == 1232131231231 will check if the guild's/server's id is 1232131231231
How can I delete a single message sent by a user using TwitchIO?
#bot.event
async def event_message(ctx):
await ctx.content.delete() # Does not work
await ctx.content.remove() # Does not work
await ctx.channel.timeout(ctx.author, 1) # Does not work
The question is older, but I'll answer it anyway.
Twitchio doesn't directly support this.
But you can delete individual messages in Twitch Chat, see the Twitch IRC documentation.
CLEARMSG (Twitch Commands)
You need the message ID for this. You get the ID in the message tags.
Message tags
Code example:
async def event_message(message):
if not message.author.name == self.bot.nick:
message_id = message.tags['id']
await message.channel.send(f"/delete {message_id}")
If you want to timeout someone, do the following:
await message.channel.timeout(message.author.name, 120, f"reason")
Twitchio documentation Channel.timeout
I'm making a bot with a command that send a file with all the previously executed commands in DM but I can't find a way to delete bot messages. Is there a way to do it or it's just impossible ?
I've tried to make a clear command for this specific case, I've tried this : https://www.reddit.com/r/Discord_Bots/comments/c1tf6t/dm_message_deletion_scriptbot/
but it didn't work for me.
The reddit code :
#client.command()
async def clear_dm(ctx):
user_dm = (client.get_user(610774599684194307)).dm_channe
messages_to_remove = 1000
async for message in user_dm.history(limit=messages_to_remove):
if message.author.id == client.user.id:
await message.delete()
await asyncio.sleep(0.5)
The bot messages should be deleted but when I run the command I get an exception AttributeError: 'ClientUser' object has no attribute 'dm_channel' the others methodes that I've tried raised similar errors (but I can't show you the code since I've delted it :c)
Users have a User.history attribute that you can use directly.
#client.command()
async def clear_dm(ctx):
messages_to_remove = 1000
async for message in client.get_user(610774599684194307).history(limit=messages_to_remove):
if message.author.id == client.user.id:
await message.delete()
await asyncio.sleep(0.5)
I am trying to get the number of how many messages have been sent in a channel, and using the logs_from() function wont work because that only accepts a fixed amount of messages to retrieve, how do I do this?
In the discord.py-rewrite branch, there is a TextChannel.history AsyncIterator. If you pass limit=None, it will return all the messages from the channel
#bot.command()
async def message_count(ctx, channel: discord.TextChannel=None):
channel = channel or ctx.channel
count = 0
async for _ in channel.history(limit=None):
count += 1
await ctx.send("There were {} messages in {}".format(count, channel.mention))
You might try passing limit=None to logs_from, but it isn't documented as working that way like it is in the rewrite branch.
