python 3.x - Discord.py count reactions on a message

Question

I'm doing a bot discord and I'd like my bot to count the number of reactions to a message before deleting him

@client.event
async def on_raw_reaction_add(payload):
    if payload.channel_id == 614467771866021944:
        if payload.emoji.name == "??":
            # if number of reactions > 4:
            # delete the message

Answer 1

You need to use the ids in the payload to get the Message object of the message and then check the count attribute of the appropriate Reaction from Message.reactions:

from discord.utils import get

@client.event
async def on_raw_reaction_add(payload):
    if payload.channel_id == 614467771866021944:
        if payload.emoji.name == "??":
            channel = client.get_channel(614467771866021944)
            message = await channel.fetch_message(payload.message_id)
            reaction = get(message.reactions, emoji=payload.emoji.name)
            if reaction and reaction.count > 4:
                await message.delete()
