I'm trying to get data from the async function, however i'm unable to get it.
client.on('ready', () => {
IGclient
.login()
.then((data1) => {
console.log('Data1: ', data1)
IGclient
.getProfile()
.then(() => {
(async () => {
await IGclient.getUserByUsername({ username: "worldstar" })
.then(res => console.log('Media: ', res.edge_owner_to_timeline_media.edges)) // it returns an array of your user's medias.
console.log(res[0].shortcode);
})()
})
})
})
response from .then(res => console.log('Media: ', res.edge_owner_to_timeline_media.edges))

I need to pick the shortcode from the response so i can somehow compare them, to detect if there was new post made and share it to the channel on discord..
console.log(res[0].shortcode); will return this...
console.log(res[0].shortcode);
^
ReferenceError: res is not defined
How i can receive just the shortcode so then i can somehow compare them to detect new post? (Not sure even how to do that heheh.. will be another research...)
Update from comments:
client.on('ready', () => {
IGclient
.login()
.then((data1) => {
console.log('Data1: ', data1)
IGclient
.getProfile()
.then(() => {
(async () => {
await IGclient.getUserByUsername({ username: "worldstar" })
.then(res => { console.log('Media: ', res.edge_owner_to_timeline_media.edges);
console.log(res.edge_owner_to_timeline_media.edges.Media[0].node.shortcode); })
})
})
})
})
This won't return anything unfortunately.. not even first log.
Your code has two issues that stop it from functioning properly:
res variable after it has exited its scope.res object's shortcode property erroneously.For issue number 1, there are a few ways to solve this, but the easiest would be to use a multi-line arrow function in order to keep the res variable in scope while you call console.log on it a second time.
For issue number 2, saying console.log(res[0].shortcode); will most likely cause a type error to be thrown, as no property 0 exists on your res variable, so calling res[0] will return undefined. Trying to get a property from an undefined object will result in a TypeError. Based on the shape of the object you posted above, this should properly get the shortcode property from your res object:
console.log(res.edge_owner_to_timeline_media.edges.Media[0].node.shortcode);
You can probably get this working by doing something like this:
client.on('ready', () => {
IGclient
.login()
.then((data1) => {
console.log('Data1: ', data1)
IGclient
.getProfile()
.then(() => {
(async () => {
await IGclient.getUserByUsername({
username: "worldstar"
})
.then(res => {
console.log('Media: ', res.edge_owner_to_timeline_media.edges);
console.log(res.edge_owner_to_timeline_media.edges[0].node.shortcode);
})()
})
})
})
})
The objects returned by the function given to .then are wrapped in a Promise, which allows you to chain .then statements together. This allows for cleaner, less nested code. This can be utilized to clean up your code, like so:
client.on('ready', () => {
IGclient
.login()
.then(data1 => {
console.log('Data1: ', data1);
return IGclient.getProfile();
})
.then(() =>
IGclient.getUserByUsername({
username: "worldstar"
})
).then(res => {
console.log('Media: ', res.edge_owner_to_timeline_media.edges);
console.log(res.edge_owner_to_timeline_media.edges[0].node.shortcode);
});
})
