Accessing body of incoming Telegram Web messages

I've been trying to catch Telegram Web messages in my browser with a Tampermonkey script, but I can't figure out how to override the "message" event listener. Maybe there are better solutions idk.

All I need is to be able to access the content (body) of incoming messages in JS.
Wondering if somebody on the chan has a solution.

event listening is tricky, better instead to just have an interval that runs once every second.

to get the "body" (I'm not sure exactly what you mean) just right click on an example message, select "Inspect element", and figure out what selectors you'll need to grab the parent element using .querySelector (look this up if you don't know what it is). Then it's easy to extract the text inside from the .innerText or .innerHTML properties.

It works!

(function() {

const initDelay = 10000;

//interval to check lastMsg
const queryInterval = 1000;

setTimeout(function (){
setInterval(function (){

let lastChatActive = document.querySelector(".title").innerText;

/*
in my case, i wanted to check if it was a specific channel,
but it turns out lastMsg.innerText includes the message arrival time.
so, i used startsWith() instead of just checking the strings
*/
if (lastChatActive.startsWith("chat name")){
let lastMsg = document.querySelector(".last-message").innerText;
console.log(lastMsg); //or whatever else you wanna do with it
} else {
//whatever
}

}, queryInterval);
}, initDelay);

})();
