How to get a user’s avatar with their id in discord.py?

I tried using the following code but it didn’t work.

@bot.command()
async def avatar(ctx,*, avamember):
    user = bot.get_user(avamember)
    await ctx.send(f"{user.avatar_url}")

Edit: For anyone that had a similar problem, while not mentioned in the docs, discord.Member can take user ids aside from @username so there isn’t any need for a complicated way.

I’m presuming you’re Tagging the user with @UserNameHere in discord. It’s much easier to take that input as a member Object :)

You also don’t need to wrap the url in quotes.

This code is if it is in a cog:

@commands.command()
async def avatar(self, ctx, *,  avamember : discord.Member=None):
    userAvatarUrl = avamember.avatar_url
    await ctx.send(userAvatarUrl)

This code is if it is in the main bot.py file:

@bot.command()
async def avatar(ctx, *,  avamember : discord.Member=None):
    userAvatarUrl = avamember.avatar_url
    await ctx.send(userAvatarUrl)
