Methods

AddReactionAsync(IEmote, RequestOptions)

Adds a reaction to this message.

Declaration

Task AddReactionAsync(IEmote emote, RequestOptions options = null)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IEmote	emote	The emoji used to react to this message.
RequestOptions	options	The options to be used when sending the request.

Returns

Type	Description
Task	A task that represents the asynchronous operation for adding a reaction to this message.

Examples

The following example adds the reaction, 💕, to the message.

await msg.AddReactionAsync(new Emoji("\U0001f495"));

IEmote

GetReactionUsersAsync(IEmote, Int32, RequestOptions)

Gets all users that reacted to a message with a given emote.

Declaration

IAsyncEnumerable<IReadOnlyCollection<IUser>> GetReactionUsersAsync(IEmote emoji, int limit, RequestOptions options = null)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IEmote	emoji	The emoji that represents the reaction that you wish to get.
Int32	limit	The number of users to request.
RequestOptions	options	The options to be used when sending the request.

Returns

Type	Description
IAsyncEnumerable<IReadOnlyCollection<IUser>>	Paged collection of users.

Remarks

important

The returned collection is an asynchronous enumerable object; one must call FlattenAsync<T>(IAsyncEnumerable<IEnumerable<T>>) to access the users as a collection.

warning

Do not fetch too many users at once! This may cause unwanted preemptive rate limit or even actual rate limit, causing your bot to freeze!

This method will attempt to fetch the number of reactions specified under limit. The library will attempt to split up the requests according to your limit and MaxUserReactionsPerBatch. In other words, should the user request 500 reactions, and the MaxUserReactionsPerBatch constant is 100, the request will be split into 5 individual requests; thus returning 5 individual asynchronous responses, hence the need of flattening.

Examples

The following example gets the users that have reacted with the emoji 💕 to the message.

var emoji = new Emoji("\U0001f495");
var reactedUsers = await message.GetReactionUsersAsync(emoji, 100).FlattenAsync();
