Discord.py pull ids from .json file

Question

so I asked for help in the replit server and they all started yelling at me bc i havent messed with json files to much

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'read'

thats the error i was given

heres the code they gave me

async def listblacklist(ctx):
    d = json.load('muted.json')
    ids = list(d.keys())

Does this answer your question? [AttributeError("'str' object has no attribute 'read'")](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11174024/attributeerrorstr-object-has-no-attribute-read) — TheFungusAmongUs, Jun 20 '22 at 13:48

Easy as this :

async def listblacklist(ctx):
    d = json.load(open("muted.json","r",encoding="utf-8"))
    ids = list(d.keys())

Hope this helps .

can you explain why this fixes the issue, so that anyone who comes to read this later will be able to tell if it will help them? – Esther Jun 20 '22 at 01:00
just another question, is there anyway to make it send them as mentions? – Monster png Jun 20 '22 at 01:03
Of course, json.load function requires a file object to read and scan it, not a string represents the file path . – Okba Elbahi Jun 20 '22 at 01:04

It is considered bad practice to inline open the file and then never close it. – Eric Jin Jun 20 '22 at 17:02
