Please don't say "Already answered", cause I tried EVERYTHING, including all related posts here and obviously, reading the api doc.

Complete error is:

Ignoring exception in on_ready Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/discord/client.py", line 312, in _run_event await coro(*args, **kwargs) File "embbed_shop.py", line 26, in on_ready await channel.send_message(embed=embed) AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'send_message'

Here is my complete code (except token):

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import datetime
import asyncio
import time

from urllib import parse, request
import re

bot = discord.Client()

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Le SHOP de POIDSPLUME", colour=discord.Colour(0xff9e26), url="https://discordapp.com", description="```yaml\n \t\t\t\t CASSIMON vs ENDER```", timestamp=datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(1593927421))

    embed.set_image(url="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/bokunoheroacademia/images/d/d8/Class_1-A_vs._Mirio_Togata_Anime.png/revision/latest?cb=20181001113201")

    embed.add_field(name=" __Achats Cassimon__ ", value="- 1000 pokédollars :dollar: =  200 <:perfectprism:726002243677192283> __ou__ 80 <:Antimater:726002322127454227> \n-1 Pokémon SH qui méga ou giga  = 2k <:Antimater:726002322127454227> ou équivalent ", inline=True)

    channel = bot.get_channel(712559462262767617)
    await channel.send_message(embed=embed)

bot.run("TOKEN") ```

This may be a duplicate of Trying to send a message to a specific channel using Discord.py rewrite and it isn't working – sam.iee
Please create a minimal reproducible example. When asking about an expection, provide the exact error message including the stack trace, from which it is clear which line in your code produces the error. – zvone
I think it's all ^^ – Ju Facultatif Lhz
@zvone This is a special case as it does not have an error. It just does not work. That's discord.py for you haha – sam.iee

  1. Remove the quotes from:

channel = bot.get_channel('712559462262767617')

to

channel = bot.get_channel(712559462262767617)

  1. Change send_message to send

await channel.send(embed=embed)

Tell me if this works please. It seems as if you are using the older version of discord.py

This API Reference will probably be more useful: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#textchannel

You have to use send instead of send_message as defined in the documentation that I linked above

embed = discord.Embed(title="Hi!")

channel = bot.get_channel(712559462262767617)
await channel.send(embed=embed)

There a couple of changes you have to understand in the new version of discord.py
For instance,

  • Snowflakes are no longer strings, they are integers now
  • send_message became send
  • Server is now Guild
