Why does client.get_channel() return None?

Question

Python

client = discord.Client()

async def my_background_task():
    await client.wait_until_ready()
    counter = 0
    channel = client.get_channel(id)
    print(channel)
    while not client.is_closed():
        counter += 1
        await channel.send(counter)
        await asyncio.sleep(60) # task runs every 60 seconds

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Logged in as')
    print(client.user.name)
    print(client.user.id)
    print('------')

client.loop.create_task(my_background_task())
client.run('token', bot=False)

Why is this happening? Google did not give answers, only said that they could not access the channel, why is that?

Answer 1

In the code, everything seems to be correct. Here is the code for the recipient of the channel by ID.
channel = client.get_channel(id)Perhaps you entered the wrong channel ID that your bot is trying to receive. If you are sure that you entered the correct id, then I can’t help you with anything.
