Download images and videos from DMs
I need to be able to download DM images and videos. Can this library do that? I couldn't figure out how
so I edited the package locally to add this functionality. I am a total beginner but I am happy to push up a PR if it is deemed worthwhile. Sorry if this the wrong place to ask questions like this. Thanks!
Hi, can you share the code please ? Thank you
in the __ request method
// Download Media
if (typeof params.getMedia !== 'undefined') {
downloadImage = true;
getMedia = params.getMedia;
imagePath = params.imagePath;
delete params.getMedia;
delete params.imagePath;
var options = {
method: method.toLowerCase(), // Request method - get || post
url: path
};
} else {
// Build the options to pass to our custom request object
var options = {
method: method.toLowerCase(), // Request method - get || post
url: this.__buildEndpoint(path, base) // Generate url
};
}
and then where you call request
// Callback version
if (downloadImage){
var ws = fs.createWriteStream(imagePath);
ws.on('error', function(err) { console.log(err); });
this.request(options).pipe(ws);
downloadImage = false;
imagePath = "";
callback(null, null, null);
} else {
this.request(options, function(error, response, data) {
I am happy to refactor/improve if you think the functionality is needed. I just need something for a demo quick.
