I want to load some information about a server from a json file, each server is identified within this file by its guild.id. However if I want to try and load some data at the start with on_ready(), I cant use ctx, which I need to get the current servers guild.id, so I can identify it within the file.

(sorry if that's a bad explanation but just look at line 6 of my code and you'll understand what I'm trying to do)

Here is my current code:

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    with open("server_info.json", "r") as infoRaw:
        infoJson = json.load(infoRaw)
        for server in infoJson["Servers"]: #search each server data
            if (server["id"] == ctx.message.guild.id): #compare id in file to current id (error line)
                data = server[data]
                break

I cant find any other ways online of getting the the servers id without a user sending a message first.

You can use discord.utils, which would look like the following:

guild = discord.utils.get(bot.guilds, id=378473289473829)

You can use what every ID you want, just be sure to replace bot with the name of your Client instance. This works in on_ready, without any ctx

You could use bot.guilds which is a list of all guilds the bot is in and then check if the ID matches with an extra loop
