  const thread = await fchf.thread("wg", "7694540");

  // thread.file -> Thread owner (OP) file.
  // thread.replies[?].file -> reply file.

    (i) => i != null
  );

  console.log(files);
})();

That small script watches the thread for new replies..

const { fchf } = require("4chan-full");

(async () => {
  let watcher = fchf.threadWatcher("vg", "337012489");

  // Events: updated, nowUpdated, checked, error, #start, #stop

  watcher.on("updated", (oldThread, newThread) => {
    console.log({ oldThread, newThread });
  });

  watcher.on("notUpdated", () => {
    console.log("there is no new replies..");
