如何让我的机器人从用户运行命令的位置获取通道 ID？ （不和谐.py）

Question

So, I have made a bot that fetches memes from reddit and posts those memes to a Discord Channel.

The only reason the word 'Discord Channel' is not plural , is because at the moment I can only input the channel I want to send those memes to manually , by inserting the ID into my code..

A very big problem when it comes to releasing my bot to the public. This is all I have so far.

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import asyncio

@client.command()
async def config(ctx):
    await ctx.send('Hello, please go to the channel, you would like me to post memes to, and do am.memechannel')
    
    
@client.command()
async def memechannel(ctx):
    await ctx.send('Memes will now be sent in this channel')

Please tell me if I need to import a few things to make this happen! Also, I know this question can be answered by reading the Discord Py API but I don't know how to read the API.

You can get the channel object with ctx.channel . Then you can get the id with ctx.channel.id . So you can do:

@client.command()
async def memechannel(ctx):
    channel_id = ctx.channel.id
    await ctx.send('Memes will now be sent in this channel')
