How to send a message to group chat?

[momo-AUX1]

When I try to send a message to a group chat i can get it to successfully appear to select but when I try to send it errors: e) File "/data/data/com.termux/files/home/api.py", line 16, in send_instagram_group_message client.direct_send(message, target_thread.thread_id) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ AttributeError: 'DirectThread' object has no attribute 'thread_id'. Did you mean: 'thread_title'?

If it has been already answered I'd like to get the link of the old issue, else does anyone know how do we do it? Thanks !

I think you're calling thread_id instead of thread.id which is causing your issue

Make sure to check the documentation, if it's still not working, ask chatGPT, if that doesn't work, provide more code concerning your issue and I'll try to help :)

>>> cl.direct_send('How are you?', thread_ids=[thread.id])
DirectMessage(id=30076213210116812312341061613568, user_id=None, thread_id=34028236684171031231231231233331238762, timestamp=datetime.datetime(2021, 8, 31, 18, 33, 5, 127298, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc), item_type=None, is_shh_mode=None, reactions=None, text=None, animated_media=None, media=None, media_share=None, reel_share=None, story_share=None, felix_share=None, clip=None, placeholder=None)

Sure heres my complete code I'm trying to link it to a gpt4all instance : from flask import Flask, request, jsonify

import subprocess
from instagrapi import Client

app = Flask(__name__)

def send_instagram_group_message(client, group_name, message):
    threads = client.direct_threads()
    target_thread = None

    for thread in threads:
        if thread.thread_title == group_name:
            target_thread = thread
            print(thread)
            break

    if target_thread is None:
        print(f"Group '{group_name}' not found.")
        return

    client.direct_send(message, target_thread.id)

@app.route("/", methods=["POST"])
def index():
    data = request.json
    sender = data["query"]["sender"]
    message = data["query"]["message"]

    prompt = f"{sender}: {message}"
    print(prompt)
    result = subprocess.run(['./chat', '-p', f"'{prompt}'"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, text=True)
    response = result.stdout

    # Extract the response text
    start_index = response.find("[end of text]")
    end_index = response.rfind("[end of text]")
    response_text = response[start_index + len("[end of text]") : end_index].strip()

    # Send the message through Instagram
    client = Client()
    client.login('chat.gpt._', 'X)
    target_group_name = "🍜 Ramen Gang 🍜"
    send_instagram_group_message(client, target_group_name, response_text)

    return jsonify({"response": response_text})

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(host="0.0.0.0")

What if you do this:

def send_instagram_group_message(client, group_name, message):
    threads = client.direct_threads()
    target_thread = None

    for thread in threads:
        if thread.thread_title == group_name:
            target_thread = client.direct_thread(thread.id) <------ get the thread implicitly
            print(thread)
            break

    if target_thread is None:
        print(f"Group '{group_name}' not found.")
        return

    client.direct_send(message, target_thread.id)

    threads = client.direct_threads()
    target_thread = None

    for thread in threads:
        if thread.thread_title == group_name:
            target_thread = client.direct_thread(thread.id) <------ get the thread implicitly
            print(thread)
            break

    if target_thread is None:
        print(f"Group '{group_name}' not found.")
        return

    client.direct_send(message, target_thread.id)

Yes it worked! I thank you I will save your messages in my text note as the basic example for group sending
