How can i check is there specific channel in discord server?

[5pread]

Im trying to make a registery bot, for usage firstly bot have to check is there already have registery channel in discord server.
I tried to make it with for loops first but they didnt work well actually

@client.command()
        @commands.has_permissions(administrator=True, manage_messages=True)
        async def registery(ctx, channelname):
            text_channel_list = [ ]
            for guild in client.guilds:
                for channel in guild.text_channels:
                    text_channel_list.append(channel)
                    if channel.name == channelname:
                        await ctx.send('The server have that channel')
                    else:
                        await ctx.send('F')

Then i tried to get 'registery' channel with discord.Utils.get command but seems like it wasnt work like the other command.

def checkforchannel(channelname_to_check):
            channel = discord.utils.get(client.get_all_channels(), name=channelname_to_check)
            if channel == channelname_to_check:
                return True
            else:
                return False

In documentation it says if bot cant able to find/get channel return output is None, but i always get False return from this code whenever i run it, so probably it returns None everytime.

Any suggestions?

discord.utils.get gets the object or None if it's not found. So channel is either a discord.abc.GuildChannel (which can either be discord.TextChannel, discord.CategoryChannel, discord.StoreChannel, or discord.VoiceChannel) or None.

However you're comparing it to a string which will always be False. To fix your code do the following:

def checkforchannel(channelname_to_check):
    channel = discord.utils.get(client.get_all_channels(), name=channelname_to_check)
    return channel is not None

Note however as I hinted on above that get_all_channels goes through all channels in every guild your bot is on. It's probably a good idea to restrict the search to something that either belongs to a specific guild using its guild ID:

def check_for_channel(channel_name):
    # Replace with your guild's guild ID
    guild = client.get_guild(81384788765712384)
    if guild is None:
        # This can happen if the lookup failed
        return False

    channel = discord.utils.get(guild.channels, name=channel_name)
    return channel is not None

You can further restrict this by using guild.text_channels if you only care about discord.TextChannel or guild.voice_channels if you only care about discord.VoiceChannel.
