Discord Python bot not sending message

Question

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)

    embed.add_field(name=".", value="A VENIR[]")
    channel = bot.get_channel(712559462262767617)
    await channel.send_message(embed=embed)

bot.run("TOKEN") ```

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

@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 — mime

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 are a couple of other changes you have to understand in this new version of discord.py
For instance,

Snowflakes are no longer strings, they are integers now
Server is now Guild

Don't hesitate to check this link for a complete list of changes: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/migrating.html

Remove the quotes from:

channel = bot.get_channel('712559462262767617')

to

channel = bot.get_channel(712559462262767617)

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

I got this answer from: Trying to send a message to a specific channel using Discord.py rewrite and it isn't working
