Add REST endpoint for getting members in a voice channel

    I recently rewrote my bot from using a gateway connection to purely using Discord's REST API due to scalability and reliability problems once it passed ~90 thousand servers.

    In doing so, I've had to drop one command that relied on getting the nick/global/usernames of people connected to a particular voice channel. My bot previously used gateway events to know who was in a voice channel, with the Presence Intent enabled.  Barnes and Noble Survey

    My request is for the ability to get the guild members currently connected to a voice channel with a REST call, either with the existing Get Channel endpoint, or a new endpoint.

    Additionally, it would be helpful if I could get a particular guild member's voice state. That way I could get the user from the interaction, then the voice channel from that user's voice state, and finally the members from that voice channel.

    Hello,

    I can suggest a workaround you might consider for getting the members in a voice channel using the REST API.

    Use the GET /guilds/{guild.id}/voice-states endpoint:
    You can use this endpoint to get the voice states of all members in a specific guild. The response will contain information about the voice channels members are connected to.

    Filter the response:
    After receiving the voice states of all members in the guild, you can filter the result to get the list of members who are connected to a particular voice channel.

    Use the GET /guilds/{guild.id}/members/{user.id} endpoint (optional):
    If you need to get specific details about a member's voice state (e.g., mute status, deaf status), you can use this endpoint to fetch that information individually for a user.

    Please note that while this approach can help you get information about members connected to voice channels, it might not be as efficient or real-time as using the gateway events. If your bot operates in a very large and active guild, you may still encounter scalability issues with this approach.

    As of now, the Discord API documentation or the API reference may have been updated, so I recommend checking the official Discord API documentation or their developer community for any new changes or endpoints that might have been introduced after my last update.

    Emma, could you link to where this endpoint is documented? I can't find it, and that endpoint returns a 404 when I hit it. Additionally, a lot of what you wrote makes little sense and gives off strong written-by-AI vibes. Please feel free to prove me wrong.

    Bro that's written with AI + that endpoint doesn't exist
