I am using python slack client to connect and send messages with a bot application.
slc = SlackClient("BOT_USER_TOKEN")
out = slc.api_call(method='users.profile.get', user='XXX')
I am getting not_allowed_token_type error in output json. I am able to call:
slc.api_call(method='chat.PostMessage',channel)
Is there a way to get user email, name from slack API. previously I got the username from event messages. but now I am getting only user id so I am looking for a solution to fetch user info using that id.
The reason you get this error message is that users.profile.get does not work with bot tokens.
To mitigate just use the user token that you received along with your bot token when installing your Slack app.

Is there, at the moment, any way to download messages from a public group without phone authentication? While using a bot, I get an error:
Exception has occurred: BotMethodInvalidError
The API access for bot users is restricted. The method you tried to invoke cannot be executed as a bot (caused by GetHistoryRequest)
I'd like to automate the process of getting new messages so I'm not able to authenticate every time the session starts.
Is there any workaround?
The bot can't get the message history. Bots work with updates. You can receive new messages while your bot is connected
#bot.on(events.NewMessage)
async def echo_all(event):
print(event.message)
so im playing a little bit around with my telegram bot, now im already able to send normal messages and pictures. But now i want to be able to send pre recorded voice messages as an answer. In the documentation it says to use send_voice for this matter and it recommends using the file_id of a file thats already on the telegram servers. So thats what i did i send a voice message to the #RawDataBot and he returned to me the file_id of the voice message.
Problem is: When i try to trigger it i get the following error: telebot.apihelper.ApiTelegramException: A request to the Telegram API was unsuccessful. Error code: 400. Description: Bad Request: wrong file identifier/HTTP URL specified
Any ideas here on what i might be doing wrong? Here is the relevant code:
import telebot
API_KEY = <MY_API_KEY>
bot = telebot.TeleBot(API_KEY)
#start
#bot.message_handler(commands=['start'])
def start (message):
bot.send_message(message.chat.id,Textstart)
#bot.message_handler(commands=['pic'])
def start (photo):
bot.send_photo(photo.chat.id, "https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeus#/media/Datei:Zeus_Otricoli_Pio-Clementino_Inv257.jpg")
#here is the part where he is supposed to send the voice message if someone types in /audio
#bot.message_handler(commands=['audio'])
def start (voice):
bot.send_voice(voice.chat.id,"AwACAgIAAxkBAAEWjl5i5bjyudWAM9IISKWhE1Gjs5ntQgACLx8AApcNKEv97pVasPhBoCkE",)
bot.polling()
There are multiple reasons, but I think it is because of these:
file_id is unique for each individual bot and can't be transferred from one bot to another.
file_id uniquely identifies a file, but a file can have different valid file_ids even for the same bot.

I'm trying to send a Google Chat message from Python in much the same way you can send a Gmail message:
https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/quickstart/python
I see documentation on how to create a Chat Bot (https://developers.google.com/chat/how-tos/bots-develop), but these typically require that you create your own https server that google can access.
I've tried using the scope 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chat', and it successfully goes through the authorization flow, and in particular the 'chat' scope claims to grant permissions to send messages, etc:
(see https://vizycam.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Image-634-1.jpg)
I can build a request using build() and the granted credentials:
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
...
service = build('chat', 'v1', credentials=gcloud.creds())
and I can see that it has methods dms(), rooms(), spaces(), etc. that I could use to create a message, but I'm unable to get any requests to work.
Is it possible to send a chat message from a user account programmatically, in much the same way the Gmail example above does?
Hi I have a program in python that generates results every one hour. The result can be of anything.This program will run in local machine or in the virtual private network.
I have two requirements
1. Send this python generated result to one telegram group [Group name "ourworld"](created by me) automatically without user intervention . (I have desktop telegram client running or web.telegram.org running in the same system)
Send this result to gmail group email ID.
what are the methods available to achieve this requirement .Is there any working code available to do this job .Please share the info and details.
Edit:
The Issue that i am facing :
1.created a Bot using BotFather.
2.Adding this Bot to my Group ,Here i get an error could not add an member So added the Bot as admin in the group
3.Token of the BOT noted down.
4. Trying to get ChatId
in this forum (https://web.telegram.org/#/im?p=g154513121) someone says number after p=g is the chartid ,In my case there is no
number it shows #testingname like this.
Using this approach trying to get the Chat ID https://api.telegram.org/bot738909732:AAE-2l7xAAlYHBXprK_a_bex09g9DMZbbDI/getme
so here 738909732 become a chat Id (in this case why we need seperate
call for the chart id)
here it is true as response coming! Here the chat id is the ID of the my "testingname" no chart id generated for the group.
6.Now packing the URL to see the response i am getting this error.
https://api.telegram.org/bot738909732:AAE-2l7xAAlYHBXprK_a_bex09g9DMZbbDI/sendMessage?chat_id=738909732&text=testing
the output if i run this in browser
{"ok":false,"error_code":400,"description":"Bad Request: chat not
found"} {"ok":false,"error_code":403,"description":"Forbidden: bot
can't send messages to bots"}
How to resolve this issue and make the BOT working .why i am not able to add BOT to my group that says error "Cant Add user"
How to make this telegram group working.
Note : Using BotFather BOT created
In case for sending message to telegram group the above method provided by bipin_s works where the chat_id = -xxxxxx is used.This is correct id followed by - symbol to be used.
For Posting message in the "telegram channel " a minor change needs to be done in the URL.The URL must be framed as below .
url = "https://api.telegram.org/botTokenID/sendMessage?chat_id=#yourChannelChatID&text=message"
Replace the TokenID with your BOT tokenID replace the yourChannelChatID with your channel chart id.Please note that the channel id is not negative id.
the code will look like this
import request
url = "https://api.telegram.org/botXyz:wwwwDFSJSJSAX/sendMessage?chat_id=#telechanneltesting&text=message"
requests.post(url)
Here the "message" as in the URL it will be posted in telegram channel.
How to get channel id ?
Go to https://web.telegram.org/#/im in browser ,after login now search your "channel".Now in the browser address bar you will one link like https://web.telegram.org/#/im?p=#llliopppppsssssr
p=#llliopppppsssssr after the equal symbol what comes is channel chat ID.
to send message to the telegram "group" without any user intervention , you require a telegram bot. create one using telegram bot-father. take a look at this link. also note the token while creating the bot. This method will work only for telegram Group .Telegram channel another method to be followed which MarxBabu answered below in his answers post.
import requests
# telegram url
url = "https://api.telegram.org/bot<Token>"
def send_mess(text):
params = {'chat_id':-xxxxxxx, 'text': text}
response = requests.post(url + 'sendMessage', data=params)
return response
send_mess(result_you_want_to_send)
to get the chat_id follow the steps mentioned here. note: group chat id's always starts with '-' . e.g. of group chat_id -356163873. A token and chat_id is only what you require to send message to telegram group.
for sending group emails you have to search more as i do not know much
I have it running on a Raspberry pi. You must look for botfather to get your telegram token.
import telepot
from telepot.loop import MessageLoop
telegram_token = 'xxxx:xxxxxx'
user = 4444444
bot = telepot.Bot(telegram_token)
bot.sendMessage(user, 'Hey!')
For configuring gmail I don't have something here right now...
You can send emails in python through SMTP or using the Mailgun Api
I personally prefer using Mailgun as it is easier to setup and sending an email is as easy as sending a post request to mailgun.
You can get the free version of the api and add your group email id to the sandbox (to avoid spam) and then use requests to post an email with the given api token
I'm working on a chat application using GAE's Channel API in Python.
I don't think I've set it up correctly. When I leave a page I get the following error message in my browser console:
http://localhost:8080/_ah/channel/dev?command=disconnect&channel=0e0acee3bd…122e0acaa86eeb-channel-1354440420-1452408747-mike|5066549580791808&client=1 400 (Bad Request)
Also, when I send chat message it sends duplicate messages, so I'm guessing users are not being properly disconnected.
I've set it up such that when user visits page, my backend code checks if they are logged in, and if so will automatically create token based on their username and the permalink ID of the page.
I then create a token, calling channel.create_channel method and pass that token as a value in the dict I include when I render my template (Jinja).
In my front-end I open the channel with the token. My on-close function is:
socket.onclose = function(){
connected = false;
}
In my app.yaml file I have included inbound_services: - channel presence.
In my backend code, I have '/_ah/channel/disconnected/'routed to a class that gets that permalink's entity instance, finds the client id from a list of connections and removes that connection from the entity.
Can you someone help me think about the Channel API the right way?
