How to upload image & send?

[Wiku5]

What is the way to upload an image?

I understand how to send it, but I need to be able to send the URL that is located on WhatsApp's server.

Is there any documentation to send via Uploader.py under media? For the life of me, i can't get it to work regardless of any workarounds.

Many thanks!

[CODeRUS]

Media.uploader is here

[Wiku5]

I know, but how do I use it? I've tried everything. Is it possible for you to please post an example?

[Wiku5]

I keep getting:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/wikus/Dropbox/projects/whatsapp/Yowsup/Media/uploader.py", line 1, in from ..Common.Http.warequest import WARequest ValueError: Attempted relative import in non-package

in Media.Uploader

[CODeRUS]

you can check wazapp sources

[Wiku5]

I've tried that already.

Is there any way possible for you to pastebin what you have to uploading images? Or even a PHP script?

I've google'd for days trying to find a way to upload correctly.

[Wiku5]

Also, Wazapp uses this in their code: Yowsup.Media.downloader import MediaDownloader

But does not include the Yowsup fork in their source, so it's redundant to try and find a working implementation of it unfortunatley.

[CODeRUS]

you should fill and send media upload request before, and then upload media :)

[Wiku5]

Could you please post an example?

[xiaojxiao]

Here is the upload process: Step 1. Call 'media_requestUpload' method (in YowsupConnectionManager) to get the upload path. Step 2. Upload image to the path from step 1 via 'Media.uploader'.

Wazapp has the best example for uploader.

[siddharth7815]

how can we get upload path using media_requestUpload method?

[5263]

It doesn't work for me and i have no clue how to debug it.

DEBUG:BinTreeNodeWriter:Outgoing
DEBUG:BinTreeNodeWriter:
<iq to="s.whatsapp.net" type="set" id="upload_1">

DEBUG:BinTreeNodeReader:Incoming
DEBUG:BinTreeNodeReader:
<iq type="error" from="s.whatsapp.net" id="upload_1">

</iq>

Has anybody set uploading up successfully?

[siddharth7815]

you are passing wrong parameter while calling message_imageSend. here type of file size is string.

self.methodsInterface.call("message_imageSend",self.jids[i],uploaded_url,self.filename,str(self.filesize),self.message))

[5263]

It seems WA is rejecting media below a certain size. I bypassed this problem. But now i get File "./src/Yowsup/Media/uploader.py", line 77, in upload self._d(POST) AttributeError: 'MediaUploader' object has no attribute '_d'

Hello together,

I modified the Example/CmdClient.py so it can send and receive images. Here are the modifications:

hope that helps

Great SamsonBox! I'm begginer in python developer (I use java), can I use these code to send an image? is it possible to do this in a windows command line? (if not, please, tell me how in linux, eclipse + python, etc)

Edit: I've managed to send a picture, but on reaching the target image does not show the preview, and forcé closes . someone have some solution ?

[thvvieira]

SamsonBox! This code isnt sending preview... its a bug of yowsup?

[shirioko]

Hahaha sorry this made me laugh

msgId = self.methodsInterface.call("message_imageSend", (self.jid, url, name,str(statinfo.st_size), "yes"))

Image thumbnail is not a boolean, it's a raw image. You need to take the original image and resize it to max 100px to create a thumbnail: https://github.com/venomous0x/WhatsAPI/blob/master/src/php/func.php#L95

Ive replaced the whole runCommand part with the one listed up. im getting this error: def onMessageReceived(self, messageId, jid, messageContent, timestamp, wantsReceipt, pushName, isBroadcast): ^ IndentationError: expected an indented block

anyone have a clue?

[Creamers158]

same indentationError with me. )-: Any change someone could help out here with SamsonBox example? Maybe a tiny 'noob' howto python send / receive picture? Would be greatly appreciated :+1:

[mgp25]

IndentationError: expected an indented block its because the spaces/tabs. Use google for that, its not an API related error

[Creamers158]

I've managed to send a picture using the Sir Poot Blog (google), but....an interactive chat session with a group seems not possible ? Maybe someone can confirm ? Just receiving messages -> oke, also from group Broadcasting to a group using jids -> oke Interactive with a group chat -> FALSE

Also the ack (-a) seems not to be working. (A ack is not send to the server considering the group messages.)

[emmnx]

Dirty trick in order to receive images in url form (allowing download them by any other mean):

                if mediaType == "image":
                    mediaPreview = messageNode.getChild("media").data

 ### Modified by me:
 #                  if encoding == "raw" and mediaPreview:
 #                      mediaPreview = base64.b64encode(mediaPreview) if sys.version_info < (3, 0) else base64.b64encode(mediaPreview.encode('latin-1')).decode()
 #                  if isGroup:
 #                      self.signalInterface.send("group_imageReceived", (msgId, fromAttribute, author, mediaPreview, mediaUrl, mediaSize, wantsReceipt))
 #                  else:
 #                  self.signalInterface.send("image_received", (msgId, fromAttribute, mediaPreview, mediaUrl, mediaSize,  wantsReceipt, isBroadcast))
 ### Added:
                    self.signalInterface.send("message_received", (msgId, fromAttribute, msgData, timestamp, wantsReceipt, pushName, isBroadcast))
                    print mediaUrl 
 ### End of dirty trick.
                elif mediaType == "video":

[vickynu2003]

Sir poot code really helped me a lot and send-image is working perfectly fine. http://sirpoot.blogspot.in/2014/08/using-yowsup-to-send-pictures-to-group.html

would be great if some one help in writing code for send-video and send-audio.

[Creamers158]

Yup, but sending and receiving messages in a group conversation would be nice to. @Emmanux thx for your workaround!!

[vickynu2003]

Hello SamsonBox, Pls extend your support for send video method also. send_image was really helpful to us. Thanks in advance

[h1rule]

Just getting this:

Sending picture 3146.jpg of size 310914 with name 3146.jpg Sending media_requestUpload Request Fail: hash: Wupcov2VxdVmkYdyol+nJjZfd9ChIlTrwZcUJ+bf8OM=

I've updated all .py Files. Do i need another PIP thing installed?

[tgalal]

See yowsup 2.0 wiki (when it goes out soon)

[javiermor]

Hi. I'm blocked trying to use Sir Poot modified code to send an image not to a group but to a single user. I haven't been able to identify what I do have to change to send the image to one phone number and not to a group.

Everything seems to be working but I get no message.

Thanks.

[nautical]

I am getting the URL generated but the image is not delivered on the client side , am using SirPoots functions .

[awesomebytes]

Same here, the image is not delivered.

[nautical]

Its working now

[awesomebytes]

Did you make any change @nautical? Because it's not working for me. In this Issue it's said it's legacy and it's not being fixed it seems https://github.com/tgalal/yowsup/issues/413

Then another issue was opened here: https://github.com/tgalal/yowsup/issues/581 Which has some explanation (which I'll try to use now) but does not seem to be resolved.
