How to retrieve DiscordConnection from a Member or User

[andrewfluck]

I looked around a bit and couldn't find any references to DiscordConnection other than the class itself. Is this not implemented yet?

[DRSchlaubi]

DiscordConnection is part of the OAuth API so it can't be obtained through Kord

[andrewfluck]

What about for a Linked Role with a connection to Twitter? The use case is automating a roster list/spreadsheet for known Twitter subs who join.

[DRSchlaubi]

You can only publish the bot related api, which is publishing the required metadata

[andrewfluck]

Gotcha, so this might not be possible to do automatically without having a command for a user to run, then

[lukellmann]

you need some sort of explicit opt-in by the user.

one way to do it is to complete an oauth flow to get an access token for each user to then get the user connections. as @DRSchlaubi said, this isn't supported by kord, so you would have to implement it on your own.

the probably easier way to do it is to set up a linked role in the guilds you want to have this for. users will then opt in to that role and you can use a bot in the guild to see which users have the role. however you won't be able to get the information associated with the connected application (like the twitter username) as that would require an oauth token for the application (so you would have to be twitter in this case).
