How to scrape components

[chngdickson]

Hello!

I am having difficulty trying to scrape labels of a components. e.g buttons.

Is it implemented? If so, How?

Install the rebase branch
git clone -b rebase --single-branch https://github.com/dolfies/discord.py-self

Get the message
bot.get_channel(id).get_message(id), or something similar to get a discord.Message object.

Now, you can use the message.components to get a list of component objects, you can check their label, ID, etc. [component1, component2, ...], find the component you want by either iterating over all of them and checking for an ID/Label, or look at the bot and check if the button appears at the same place every time, count which place it's in and subtract one (Python lists start at zero).

You now have where the button is, you can do message.components[index] to get the component object, then, you can do await message.components[index].click() to press the button.

Sometimes, instead of one button, there's an 'actionrow', which you'll see at times if you print the message components. You can do message.components[index of actionrow].children to get a list of all the buttons and such inside the action row.
