discord.Guild.get_member() No value for argument 'self' in unbound method call discord.py

Question

I'm creating a discord reaction bot which assigns members roles depending on which reaction emoji they use.

I've found discord.utils.find works as expected when running the app locally, but doesn't find a member when the app is hosted on Heroku or ibmcloud.

@client.event
async def on_raw_reaction_remove(payload):
    message_id = payload.message_id
     #...
     #...
     #...
        # payload.member is not available for REACTION_REMOVE event type
        member = discord.utils.find(lambda m: m.id == payload.user_id, guild.members)
       
        member2id = int(payload.user_id)
        GetMember = discord.Guild.get_member()
        RoleLoser = GetMember(member2id)

To get around this I'm trying to search the member list for a given guild and return a member using their member id. But running the above prompts the following with reference to this line GetMember = discord.Guild.get_member()

No value for argument 'self' in unbound method call
No value for argument 'user_id' in unbound method call

Really appreciate any help!

When working with any on_raw event, you're only able to access the id for some objects eg. Guild, in your case you should be first getting the guild by ID and then passing it to find. So guild = client.get_guild(payload.guild_id) (assuming client is commands.Bot(). Thus you should calling .get_member on the guild object you fetched by their id. — InsertCheesyLine

InsertCheesyLine is correct. Here is the working code:

@client.event
async def on_raw_reaction_add(payload):
    # channel and message IDs should be integer:
    if payload.channel_id == 700895165665247325 and payload.message_id == 757114312413151272:
        if str(payload.emoji) == "<:Apex:745425965764575312>":
            guild = client.get_guild(payload.guild_id)
            member = guild.get_member(payload.user_id)
            role = get(payload.member.guild.roles, name='Apex')
            await payload.member.add_roles(role)
            print(f"Assigned {member} {role}.")

I've added a print statement that is sent to the console when the user is assigned a role. Simply replace the id's and role name and you're all set. Refer to where I asked this question and got help solving it (along with the code to remove the role when the reaction is removed): Assign discord role when user reacts to message in certain channel
