AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'send' - Discord,py Bot error

channel = client.get_channel
    if message.content.lower().startswith('experiment'): 
        moji = await client.get_channel.send("https://c.tenor.com/R_itimARcLAAAAAd/talking-ben-yes.gif")
        emoji = [":blue_circle:"]
        for experiment in emoji:
            await client.add_reaction(emoji)

What I want the bot to do is when the user types 'experiment' the bot will send the link to the photo and it will attach the emoji to it. It gives me this error.

Ignoring exception in on_message Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\13129\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\discord\client.py", line 343, in _run_event await coro(*args, **kwargs) File "c:\Users\13129\Desktop\Python Bot\Ben.py", line 50, in on_message moji = await client.get_channel.send("https://c.tenor.com/R_itimARcLAAAAAd/talking-ben-yes.gif") AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'send'

I tried changing a few things on line 20 but nothing seems to be working!

Bot.get_channel is a method which takes a channel_id as a positional argument and gets you a Union[StageChannel, VoiceChannel, CategoryChannel, TextChannel, Thread (if you are on master)] if the ID you pass to it matches one it has in its internal cache (this requeires members intent)

you can't do get_channel.send(), get_channel is a method, or in other words, a bound function to Bot class.

here is an example usage:

channel = bot.get_channel(CHANNEL_ID)
await channel.send("hello there!")

also,

client.add_reaction(emoji) is not a thing

Message.add_reaction is. await channel.send() returns a Message object which you can store in a variable and then add your emoji

message = await channel.send("hello there!")
for emo in emoji:
    await message.add_reaction(emo)

and I am pretty sure that you need the unicode of that emoji and the string would raise UnknownEmoji error, but if it doesn't then it's fine. If it does though, just use "\N{Large Blue Circle}" instead :blue_circle: and that should fix it.

You should be doing client.get_channel() with something in the brackets like a channel ID, not client.get_channel If not how will they know what channel to send it to.

For Prefixed Commands

@client.command()
async def command_name(ctx)
    await ctx.send()
    # Sends to what ever channel the command was sent in
