How to use discord.py in order to get audit log entries and analyze the data inside of it-CodePudding

I'm trying to make a discord bot that gets audit log entries and prints them out to me, but I have no clue how to go about it.

This is what I have so far:

from discord.ext import commands
import discord
import time

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')

for entry in discord.Guild.audit_logs(action=discord.AuditLogAction.ban):
    print(f'{entry.user} banned {entry.target}')

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'Logged in as {client.user}.  Ready to go.')

client.run(token)

It throws this error: TypeError: audit_logs() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

I've read the documentation, but I am still no closer to solving this.

How do I get this bot to read each entry made into the audit log and then print it out to the console?

CodePudding user response：

If you want to access the audit logs of the guild that a command has been invoked in, you should access through context, so use this:

@client.command()
async get_bans(ctx):
    async for entry in ctx.guild.audit_logs(action=discord.AuditLogAction.ban):
           print(f'{entry.user} banned {entry.target}')

If you want to get a specific guild's audit logs you can use:

async for entry in client.get_guild(guild_id).audit_logs(action=discord.AuditLogAction.ban):
       print(f'{entry.user} banned {entry.target}')
