I am working on finding a solution for my discord bot, it is written in Py, it's coded to search in game database apis for a specific player name, if found, it sends a message on discord with the server ID, this part works however now I want to add a message if the player is not found after searching all the databases, here is the code:
@client.command()
async def whereis(ctx, player): # General stats
for element in gameIDs["IDs"]:
url0 = apiLink1 + "/players/?gameId=" + element
r = requests.get(url0)
rs = r.json()
a = rs['teams'][0]['players']
b = rs['teams'][1]['players']
c = a + b
d = rs['serverinfo']['name']
for element1 in c:
if element1["name"] == str(player):
embed = discord.Embed(title=player + " HAS BEEN FOUND",description=d)
await ctx.send(embed=embed)
break
else:
print("not found")
The first for loop is to have every database id checked, the second for loop is to verify every database with the given player, my current solution returns a "not found" for every gameID instance, which I understand why, but I would only like for it to send the message once the gameIDs list has been exhausted. How would I proceed with this?
Thank you all so much in advance.
What about just adding a player_found bool and print if it is not found?
async def whereis(ctx, player): # General stats
player_found = False
for element in gameIDs["IDs"]:
url0 = apiLink1 + "/players/?gameId=" + element
r = requests.get(url0)
rs = r.json()
a = rs['teams'][0]['players']
b = rs['teams'][1]['players']
c = a + b
d = rs['serverinfo']['name']
for element1 in c:
if element1["name"] == str(player):
player_found = True
embed = discord.Embed(title=player + " HAS BEEN FOUND",description=d)
await ctx.send(embed=embed)
break
if not player_found:
print("not found")
