Python Discord bot fails to log links and images

Question

I am trying to log only site-links and image-links posted (whilst ignoring chat or banter) to one of my Discord servers and created a simple Python Discord bot to do this. It successfully saves a lot of the site-links and image-links to file. However a lot of other links, particularly ones which were posted 'en masse' by users (i.e. attached multiple images or links to a single message) failed to be logged.

Here's my simple bot:

import discord
import asyncio
import os

#Initializes the bot to accept commands.
client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Logged in as')
    print(client.user.name)
    print(client.user.id)
    print('------')

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author != client.user:   #This prevents a self-propogating echo chamber of text!

        if(message.content == "log_channel"):
            async for message in client.logs_from(message.channel, limit=5000000, reverse=True):
                with open(os.getcwd()+"/logs.txt", "a") as output_file: 
                    if("http" in message.content): output_file.write(message.content+"\n")

client.run(xxx-xxx-xxx)

What could I do to ensure even those messages that contain multiple images and links get logged accurately?

Answer 1

I believe you would have to check if the message is an embed or a link and then log it and check if the message is anything else then embed or link ignore it
