How can I send an embed via my Discord bot, w/python?

Question

I\'ve been working a new Discord bot.

I\'ve learnt a few stuff,and, now, I\'d like to make the things a little more custom.

I\'ve been trying to make the bot

Answer 1

When executing this code, I get the error that 'Embed' is not a valid member of the module 'discord'. All websites, show me this code, and I have no idea of any other way to send a embed.

This means you're out of date. Use pip to update your version of the library.

pip install --upgrade discord.py

To get it to work I changed your send_message line to await message.channel.send(embed=embed)

Here is a full example bit of code to show how it all fits:

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('!hello'):
        embedVar = discord.Embed(title="Title", description="Desc", color=0x00ff00)
        embedVar.add_field(name="Field1", value="hi", inline=False)
        embedVar.add_field(name="Field2", value="hi2", inline=False)
        await message.channel.send(embed=embedVar)

I used the discord.py docs to help find this. https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.TextChannel.send for the layout of the send method.

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#embed for the Embed class.

Before version 1.0: If you're using a version before 1.0, use the method await client.send_message(message.channel, embed=embed) instead.

@bot.command()
async def displayembed(ctx):
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Your title here", description="Your desc here") #,color=Hex code
    embed.add_field(name="Name", value="you can make as much as fields you like to")
    embed.set_footer(name="footer") #if you like to
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)
