Cannot create a new chat

[IamFonky]

Hello,

When I'm trying to create a new chat, I got this error : AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'send'

We can see in pyaisynccai.py:31 that the ws attribute is defined as None.

Am I doing something wrong or is it just a lack of implementation in the code?

~~Nope, there is no way to get the token anymore according to the documentation~~

Disregard - if you are getting that error ^ you have to be logged in.

Hi, try this:

client = PyAsyncCAI('CHARACTER_AI_TOKEN')
async with client.connect() as chat2:
    #create your new chat here...

See the source for more details

@tominal I dont understand what you mean. I got the char_token and it's working great to send and receive messages, the problem here is that idk how to use the new_chat method because the websocket property is never defined :/

@Karvp Thank you for your answer. Now I have another error : characterai.errors.ServerError: Unauthorized access for user_id: ********** The id here is not the char_token but just a number

[Karvp]

Could you share your code and goal so we can understand your issue better?

[IamFonky]

Sure! The aim is to create a new chat everytime i run the code and then to speak with the character. Here is the simplified code

async def test():

    client = PyAsyncCAI(token)

    async with client.connect() as chat2:

        chat = await chat2.new_chat(char_id,"idk",user_id)
        author = {"author_id": chat["chats"][0]["creator_id"]}

        while True:

            message = input("You: ")
            data = await chat2.send_message(char_id, chat["chats"][0]["chat_id"], message, author)
            print(json.dumps(data))
            name = data["turn"]["author"]["name"]
            text = data["turn"]["candidates"][0]["raw_content"]
            print(f"{name}: {text}")

asyncio.run(test())

Edit : I forgot to put the call to the client sry

[Karvp]

Did you use the correct user id? Are you the owner of the character? If not, is the character public?

Edit: I have fixed a few mistake in your code:

import uuid
import characterai, asyncio, json

def print_response(data: dict):
    name, text = data["turn"]["author"]["name"], data["turn"]["candidates"][0]["raw_content"]
    print(f'{name}: {text}')
    
async def test():
    char_id = "CHARACTER_ID"
    user_id = "USER_ID"
    client = characterai.PyAsyncCAI("TOKEN")

    async with client.connect() as chat2:
        # generate the chat_id
        chat_id = str(uuid.uuid4())
        # The new_chat returns a tuple
        chat, greeting = await chat2.new_chat(char_id,chat_id,user_id)
        # This is the correct way to get creator_id
        author = {"author_id": chat["chat"]["creator_id"]}
        # Correct way to get chat_id
        # chat_id = chat["chat"]["chat_id"]

        while True:
            message = input("You: ")
            data = await chat2.send_message(char_id, chat_id, message, author)
            print(json.dumps(data))
            print_response(data)


asyncio.run(test())

I have added the chat_id creator, see uuid.uuid4(). Please note that you can only create 1 chat with an id.

P/s: This is the dictionary structure of the chat variable, if needed:

{
    "chat": {
        "chat_id": string,
        "create_time": string,
        "creator_id": string,
        "character_id": string,
        "state": string,
        "type": string,
        "visibility": string
    },
    "command": string
}
