Syntax

$getMessage[channelID;messageID;(property)]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
channelID	The ID of the channel containing the message.
messageID	The ID of the message to retrieve.
property	Optional. One of content (default), authorID, username (the author’s username) or avatar (the author’s avatar URL). Case-sensitive; any other value raises Unknown message property.

Return Value

• Type: String
• The requested property of the message: its text content by default (not embeds or attachments), the author ID, the author username, or the author avatar URL (empty if the author has no avatar).
• Both IDs must be positive numbers, otherwise the error Invalid Discord ID. is raised; a channel that does not support messages raises Channel does not support messages.
• There is no empty-string fallback: if the message cannot be fetched from Discord (it does not exist or is not accessible), the call fails with an error.

Behavior

• The message is fetched from Discord when the function runs; no age limit is applied by the engine.
• Use $getEmbedData to read the embeds of a message.
