如何在 Discord.py 中获取用户的 ID

Question

We're writing a bot for our Discord Server which is supposed to mention the person that starts a specific command. For this I'd need the ID of the user, but can't figure out how to get it.

@bot.command()
async def name():

author = discord.User.id

await bot.say(str(author))

We tried it this way, since the documentation says, the ID of a user is in the class User. But the only thing we get is

<member 'id' of 'User' objects>

In our eyes we got the right param but can't get the ID itself? Do we need to convert it somehow?

Answer 1

To get the bot to mention the author of the message in the async branch, you need to refer to that author through the message that invoked the command, ctx.message :

@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def name(ctx):
    await bot.say("{} is your name".format(ctx.message.author.mention))

To get their id:

@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def myid(ctx):
    await bot.say("{} is your id".format(ctx.message.author.id))

Answer 2

You need to provide a parameter in the function name. Each bot.command needs to have at least one parameter known as the "context". Such as:

async def name(ctx):
   author = ctx.message.author
   user_name = author.name
