Discord Purge Messages from a Specific User in a Channel

kangabru — kangabru

Periodically remove all messages from a specific user in a channel. Useful to clean up messages from other bots that you don't control for example.

const lib = require('lib')({token: process.env.STDLIB_SECRET_TOKEN});

// Update to your user and channel
const user_id = '12345';
const channel_id = '12345';

const messages = await lib.discord.channels['@0.2.0'].messages.list({
  channel_id,
  limit: 100,
});

const userMessageIds = messages
  .filter((msg) => msg.author.id === user_id)
  .map((msg) => msg.id);

if (userMessageIds.length === 1)
  await lib.discord.channels['@0.2.0'].messages.destroy({
    channel_id, message_id: userMessageIds[0],
  });
else if (userMessageIds.length > 1)
  await lib.discord.channels['@0.2.0'].messages.bulkDelete({
    channel_id,
    messages: userMessageIds,
  });
