How to Retrieve Profile Effect from the Discord User Object?


I want to retrieve the relatively new Profile Effect from a User, however it seems that the Profile Effect is not included in the User Object while the Avatar Decoration is.

I was unable to find any mention of the Profile Effect in the docs whatsoever. Is there a way to retrieve the Profile Effect from a User? and if not, why?

For clarification, I’m referring to the Profile Effect shown in this video: https://imgur.com/a/HS3BAgz.


Solution

  • For anyone looking into this in the future:

    As pointed out in the comments, it is currently not possible to retrieve the Profile Effect of a user using the Discord API.

    I’ve submitted a feature suggestion to address this limitation. If there are any updates or changes to this functionality, I’ll make sure to update this answer.
