Microsoft Graph API how to send an attachment in a chat

I want to use the Microsoft Graph API to send messages with attachments to chats or channels.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/chatmessage-post?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http#example-4-send-a-message-with-file-attachment-in-it
I can send normal messages already just fine like this:
def post_message(chat_id: str, subject: str = "", content_type: str = "text", content: str = "") -> None:
url = f"https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/chats/{chat_id}/messages"
json = {
"subject": subject,
"body": {
"contentType": content_type,
"content": content
}
}
res = requests.post(url, headers=header, json=json)
I try to copy the body from the example in the link above, substitute for my values and swap json variable for this one:
attachment_id = '7QW90B10D7-B5AK-420A-AC78-1156324A54F2' # not real, only to show how it looks like
json = {
"body": {
"contentType": 'html',
"content": f'i dunno what i\'m doing. <attachment id="{attachment_id}"></attachment>'
},
'attachments': [
{
'id': attachment_id,
'contentType': 'reference',
'contentUrl': 'https://foo.sharepoint.com/sites/bar/User%20documentation/Databricks/Databricks%20guide.pptx',
'name': 'Databricks guide.pptx'
}
]
}
I get requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 400 Client Error: Bad Request for url
What's wrong with the code? How to get attachment id from a file correctly because I am not sure I got the right value?

I was able to get it working with your code, (using both formats <attachment id=\"\"> and <attachment id="">), so it seems the error is probably with your attachment_id.
I retrieved the driveItem ID by following this answer, where the driveItem ID is the GUID value in the eTag property in the response.
You could get the file by the path:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site-id}/drive/root:/{item-path}
For example:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site-id}/drive/root:/test.docx
If the file is in a folder, it would be like this:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site-id}/drive/root:/folder1/test.docx
Sample request after obtaining the ID
access_token = ""
attachment_name = "file.txt"
attachment_path = "https://domain.sharepoint.com/Shared%20Documents"
attachment_id = "12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789123"
attachment_url = f"{attachment_path}/{attachment_name}"
chat_id = ""
req_url = f"https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/chats/{chat_id}/messages"
req_headers = {
"Authorization": "Bearer " + access_token,
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
json = {
"body": {
"contentType": "html",
"content": f"Test message <attachment id=\"{attachment_id}\"></attachment>"
},
"attachments": [
{
"id": attachment_id,
"contentType": "reference",
"contentUrl": attachment_url,
"name": attachment_name
}
]
}
result = requests.post(url = req_url, headers = req_headers, json = json)

Discord clicking button using api and requests in python not working

I have made this code to make a user interact with a button of my bot’s message, but i am unable to make it work. Please help.I get the following error:
{"code": 50035, "errors": {"session_id": {"_errors": [{"code": "BASE_TYPE_REQUIRED", "message": "This field is required"}]}}, "message": "Invalid Form Body”}
header = {
'authorization': auth
}
r = requests.get("https://discord.com/api/v9/channels/<channel_id>/messages", headers = header)
message = json.loads(r.text)[0]
data = {
"type": 3,
"guild_id": '<guild_id>',
"channel_id": '<channel_id>',
"message_id": message['id'],
"application_id": '<bot_id>', #the id of the bot to which i want to interact
"data": {
"component_type": 2,
"custom_id": message['components'][0]['components'][2]['custom_id'] #gets the custom_id of the button to interact
}
}
r = requests.post('https://discord.com/api/v9/interactions', json = data, headers = header)

Turns out, I need to add a session_id under the data dict, the problem got solved! Thanks furas for your help!
The code now:
data = {
"type": 3,
"guild_id": '<guild_id>',
"channel_id": '<channel_id>',
"message_id": message['id'],
"session_id": '<session_id>', #if you don't know the string, a random string worked for me
"application_id": '<bot_id>', #the id of the bot to which i want to interact
"data": {
"component_type": 2,
"custom_id": message['components'][0]['components'][2]['custom_id'] #gets the custom_id of the button to interact
}
}

openstack cannot retrieve authentication token from API

I am trying to retrieve the authentication token from the API using requests library from python. Here is the attempt I have made so far:
def get_token():
data = {
"auth" : {
"identity" : {
"methods" : [ "password" ],
"password": {
"user" : {
"name" : OS_USERNAME,
"domain": { "name": "Default" },
"password": OS_PASSWORD
}
}
}
}
}
r = requests.post(
OS_AUTH_URL+'/auth/tokens',
headers = HEADERS,
json = data, # https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9733638
verify = False
)
print(r.content)
j = json.loads(r.content)
return j['token']['user']['id']
I get token in the response :
{
"token": {
"issued_at": "2018-07-03T11:03:59.000000Z",
"audit_ids": [
"Fg1ywtZBQ1CkigCw70If9g"
],
"methods": [
"password"
],
"expires_at": "2018-07-03T12:03:59.000000Z",
"user": {
"password_expires_at": null,
"domain": {
"id": "default",
"name": "Default"
},
"id": "e0dc5beb383a46b98dad824c5d76e719",
"name": "admin"
}
}
}
However, when I am reusing this token to get, for instance, the list of projects :
def get_tenantID():
r = requests.get(
OS_AUTH_URL+'/auth/projects',
headers = HEADERS,
verify = False
)
return r
r = get_token()
HEADERS['X-Auth-Project-Id'] = 'admin'
HEADERS['X-Auth-Token'] = r
r = get_tenantID()
I get this error as if I would not be authenticated:
<Response [401]>
{"error": {"message": "The request you have made requires authentication.", "code": 401, "title": "Unauthorized"}}
Googling around and using openstack token issue command showed me that usually, token are more like:
gAAAAABaCo1F1CIMVlsTBeuqYH8tm2qR29tbkmUL4vZuhCNPXJI39TQ2YzL6Twoj8fNcAyLe3WhCYW2O1YpbBF0G8mo4bt7Kf0IRsoDOoJ6uWa3RYyJ5SQNoB_5n8EnVXbKPxFYOZ_iFBnaVtL1_XDrGbwsrlDeyy8lZTDdLsqY52pUhFR-7Uow
which is not what I get with get_token.
What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks!

When you use the auth API directly, the token issued comes in the X-Subject-Token header.
Thus, to retrieve in your python example, you could access the response.headers dict like this:
token = r.headers['X-Subject-Token']
More info about authentication in the Keystone v3 docs

1. fetch authentication token as mentioned below:
r = requests.post(
OS_AUTH_URL+'/auth/tokens',
headers = HEADERS,
json = data,
verify = False
)
token = r.headers[X-Subject-Token]
2. Pass this token in header for further request:
{
'X-Auth-Token': token
}

Facebook Messenger bot Generic Template Not Working

I have created a Facebook Messenger bot which works fine. I have used the Button Template and Image template, and both work perfectly. But when I try the Generic Template, I get no response. I have simply copy pasted the code from here, by performing the appropriate modifications.
I don't know how to debug. Facebook Messenger gives no output on the messaging box. I am currently running the app via Heroku.
Here is my code:
def send_message(token, recipient):
r = requests.post("https://graph.facebook.com/v2.6/me/messages",
params={"access_token": token},
data=json.dumps({
"recipient":{
"id":recipient
},
"message":{
"attachment":{
"type":"template",
"payload":{
"template_type":"generic",
"elements":[
{
"title":"Welcome to Peter\'s Hats",
"image_url":"http://www.godominion.com/content/images/feature-img-small-appliance-electronics.png",
"subtitle":"We\'ve got the right hat for everyone.",
"default_action": {
"type": "web_url",
"url": "https://peterssendreceiveapp.ngrok.io/view?item=103",
"messenger_extensions": true,
"webview_height_ratio": "tall",
"fallback_url": "https://peterssendreceiveapp.ngrok.io/"
},
"buttons":[
{
"type":"web_url",
"url":"https://petersfancybrownhats.com",
"title":"View Website"
}
]
}
]
}
}
}
}),
headers={'Content-type': 'application/json'})
if r.status_code != requests.codes.ok:
print r.text
I would appreciate any help.
Thank you.
EDIT 1: SOLUTION
I got rid of the issue by commenting out:
"messenger_extensions": true,
and
"fallback_url": "https://peterssendreceiveapp.ngrok.io/"},
I'm sure this is not the correct method. But as I am creating a bot, without actual links, this works.

On the second button, "url":"https://petersfancybrownhats.com" is broken.

Try like this
firstly make a function
def function():
extra_data = {
"attachment": {
"type": "template",
"payload": {
"template_type": "generic",
"elements": [
{
"title": "Any Title",
"image_url": "https://mbtskoudsalg.com/images/road-clipart-journey-3.png",
"subtitle": "Subtitle.",
"buttons": [
{
"type": "web_url",
"title": "View",
"url": "**MAKE SURE TO WHITELIST THIS URL**", # URL
"messenger_extensions": "true",
"webview_height_ratio": "full"
}
]
}
]
}
}
}
# w_message = "Hi there! How may I help you?"
fb_message_template(extra_data["attachment"], "****RECIEVER ID****")
Make another function
import requests
# // Importing User Defined Modules // #
from get_environ_var import get_environ_var
# // Global vars // #
ACCESS_TOKEN = "FB_ACCESS_TOKEN"
def fb_message_template(extra_data, sender_id):
"""This function sends template message to facebook"""
data = {
'recipient': {'id': sender_id},
'message': {
"attachment": extra_data
}
}
qs = 'access_token=' + ACCESS_TOKEN
resp = requests.post('https://graph.facebook.com/v2.6/me/messages?' + qs, json=data)
print(resp.content)

Python Office365 API - TimeZone stays at Local Time

I have this python code below and it works for creating a event in Outlook Calendar. The example below has Start and End time from 3pm to 4pm (I think UTC timezone)
We have users from different regions (Pacific, Mountain, Central... times). What I try to accomplish is the time always be local time. No matter where the user account from it should also default to 3pm to 4pm in their Outlook.
Thanks in advance and please let me know if I need to clarify any of this.
# Set the request parameters
url = 'https://outlook.office365.com/api/v1.0/me/events?$Select=Start,End'
user = 'user1#domain.com'
pwd = getpass.getpass('Please enter your AD password: ')
# Create JSON payload
data = {
"Subject": "Testing Outlock Event",
"Body": {
"ContentType": "HTML",
"Content": "Test Content"
},
"Start": "2016-05-23T15:00:00.000Z",
"End": "2016-05-23T16:00:00.000Z",
"Attendees": [
{
"EmailAddress": {
"Address": "user1#domain.com",
"Name": "User1"
},
"Type": "Required" },
{
"EmailAddress": {
"Address": "user2#domain.com",
"Name": "User2"
},
"Type": "Optional" }
]
}
json_payload = json.dumps(data)
# Build the HTTP request
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPHandler)
request = urllib2.Request(url, data=json_payload)
auth = base64.encodestring('%s:%s' % (user, pwd)).replace('\n', '')
request.add_header('Authorization', 'Basic %s' % auth)
request.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
request.add_header('Accept', 'application/json')
request.get_method = lambda: 'POST'
# Perform the request
result = opener.open(request)

First of all, there's no point of creating a meeting on the same time at different timezones.
If you really want to do so, you'll need to create separate meeting requests per the timezone of the attendees, the JSON format would be something like below,
var body = new JObject
{
{"Subject", "Testing Outlock Event"},
{"Start", new JObject { { "DateTime", "2016-03-24T15:00:00"}, { "TimeZone", "Pacific Standard Time" } } },
{"End", new JObject { { "DateTime", "2016-03-24T16:00:00"}, { "TimeZone", "Pacific Standard Time" } } }
};
Note you need to remove the capital 'Z' from the time, so that it'll be shown in the local time tone specified by the "TimeZone" attribute.
The workaround above needs to know the timezone of all the attendees, I'm not sure if this can be done pragmatically. If not, it might not make much sense if you have tones of attendees.
The "ideal" way of achieving your requirement is giving the time without specifying the timezone, so that it'll be shown at the same time with different timezone.
