Get a specific Message

You must first get the Channel object to use the code below. Change 123123123123123123 below with the Message ID you want to retrieve

Cached, synchrounous:

$message = $channel->messages->get('id', '123123123123123123');

Message can be also retrieved from related objects:

• Message $reply = $message->referenced_message; reply referenced to the message
• Reaction $message = $reaction->message; message where the reaction is part of

If the code above returns null, you may need to fetch it first (Promise, asynchrounous):

$channel->messages->fetch('123123123123123123')->then(function (Message $message) {
    // ...
})->done();
