Basic Usage

• Connecting to the API

# Using poe.com tokens
tokens = {
    'b': 'p-b token here',
    'lat': 'p-lat token here'
}
# Using quora.com tokens
tokens = {
    'b': 'm-b token here',
    'lat': 'm-lat token here'
}

from poe_api_wrapper import PoeApi
client = PoeApi(cookie=tokens)

# Using Client with auto_proxy (default is False)
client = PoeApi(cookie=tokens, auto_proxy=True)

# Passing proxies manually
proxy_context = [
    {"https":X1, "http":X1},
    {"https":X2, "http":X2},
    ...
]

client = PoeApi(cookie=tokens, proxy=proxy_context) 

• Getting Chat Ids & Chat Codes

# Get chat data of all bots (this will fetch all available threads)
print(client.get_chat_history()['data'])
>> Output:
{'chinchilla': [{'chatId': 74397929, 'chatCode': '2ith0h11zfyvsta1u3z', 'id': 'Q2hhdDo3NDM5NzkyOQ==', 'title': 'Comparison'}], 'code_llama_7b_instruct': [{'chatId': 74397392, 'chatCode': '2ithbduzsysy3g178hb', 'id': 'Q2hhdDo3NDM5NzM5Mg==', 'title': 'Decent Programmers'}], 'a2': [{'chatId': 74396838, 'chatCode': '2ith9nikybn4ksn51l8', 'id': 'Q2hhdDo3NDM5NjgzOA==', 'title': 'Reverse Engineering'}, {'chatId': 74396452, 'chatCode': '2ith79n4x0p0p8w5yue', 'id': 'Q2hhdDo3NDM5NjQ1Mg==', 'title': 'Clean Code'}], 'leocooks': [{'chatId': 74396246, 'chatCode': '2ith82wj0tjrggj46no', 'id': 'Q2hhdDo3NDM5NjI0Ng==', 'title': 'Pizza perfection'}], 'capybara': [{'chatId': 74396020, 'chatCode': '2ith5o3p8c5ajkdwd3k', 'id': 'Q2hhdDo3NDM5NjAyMA==', 'title': 'Greeting'}]}

# Get chat data of a bot (this will fetch all available threads)
print(client.get_chat_history("a2")['data'])
>> Output:
{'a2': [{'chatId': 74396838, 'chatCode': '2ith9nikybn4ksn51l8', 'id': 'Q2hhdDo3NDM5NjgzOA==', 'title': 'Reverse Engineering'}, {'chatId': 74396452, 'chatCode': '2ith79n4x0p0p8w5yue', 'id': 'Q2hhdDo3NDM5NjQ1Mg==', 'title': 'Clean Code'}]}

# Get a defined number of most recent chat threads (using count param will ignore interval param)
# Fetching all bots
print(client.get_chat_history(count=20)['data'])
# Fetching 1 bot
print(client.get_chat_history(bot="a2", count=20)['data'])

# You can pass the number of bots fetched for each interval to both functions. (default is 50)
# Fetching 200 chat threads of all bots each interval
print(client.get_chat_history(interval=200)['data'])
# Fetching 200 chat threads of a bot each interval
print(client.get_chat_history(bot="a2", interval=200)['data'])

# Pagination Example:
# Fetch the first 20 chat threads
history = client.get_chat_history(count=20)
pages = [history['data']]
new_cursor = history['cursor']

# Set a while loop with a condition of your choice
while new_cursor != None:
    # Fetch the next 20 chat threads with new_cursor
    new_history = client.get_chat_history(count=20, cursor=new_cursor)
    # Append the next 20 chat threads 
    new_cursor = new_history['cursor']
    pages.append(new_history['data'])

# Print the pages (20 chat threads each page)
for page in range(len(pages)):
    print(f'This is page {page+1}')
    for bot, value in pages[page].items():
        for thread in value:
            print({bot: thread})

• Sending messages & Streaming responses

bot = "a2"
message = "What is reverse engineering?"

# Create new chat thread
# Streamed example:
for chunk in client.send_message(bot, message):
    print(chunk["response"], end="", flush=True)
print("\n")

# Non-streamed example:
for chunk in client.send_message(bot, message):
    pass
print(chunk["text"])

# You can get chatCode and chatId of created thread to continue the conversation
chatCode = chunk["chatCode"]
chatId = chunk["chatId"]
# You can get the meaningful title as well
title = chunk["title"]
# You can also retrieve msgPrice
msgPrice = chunk["msgPrice"]

# Send message to an existing chat thread
# 1. Using chatCode
for chunk in client.send_message(bot, message, chatCode="2i58ciex72dom7im83r"):
    print(chunk["response"], end="", flush=True)
# 2. Using chatId
for chunk in client.send_message(bot, message, chatId=59726162):
    print(chunk["response"], end="", flush=True)
# 3. Specify msgPrice manually (the wrapper automatically gets this, but you can also pass the param for less resources consumed)
for chunk in client.send_message(bot, message, chatId=59726162, msgPrice=msgPrice):
    print(chunk["response"], end="", flush=True)

Note

Display names are the same as the codenames for custom bots, you can simply pass the bot's display name into client.send_message(bot, message)

• Retrying the last message

for chunk in client.retry_message(chatCode):
    print(chunk['response'], end='', flush=True)

• Adding file attachments

# Web urls example:
file_urls = ["https://elinux.org/images/c/c5/IntroductionToReverseEngineering_Anderson.pdf", 
            "https://www.kcl.ac.uk/warstudies/assets/automation-and-artificial-intelligence.pdf"]
for chunk in client.send_message(bot, "Compare 2 files and describe them in 300 words", file_path=file_urls):
    print(chunk["response"], end="", flush=True)
    
# Local paths example:
local_paths = ["c:\\users\\snowby666\\hello_world.py"]
for chunk in client.send_message(bot, "What is this file about?", file_path=local_paths):
    print(chunk["response"], end="", flush=True)

Note

The files size limit is different for each model.

• Retrieving suggested replies

for chunk in client.send_message(bot, "Introduce 5 books about clean code", suggest_replies=True):
    print(chunk["response"], end="", flush=True)
print("\n")

for reply in chunk["suggestedReplies"]:
    print(reply)

• Stopping message generation

# You can use an event to trigger this function
# Example:
# Note that keyboard library may not be compatible with MacOS, Linux, Ubuntu
import keyboard
for chunk in client.send_message(bot, message):
    print(chunk["response"], end="", flush=True)
    # Press Q key to stop the generation
    if keyboard.is_pressed('q'):
        client.cancel_message(chunk)
        print("\nMessage is now cancelled")
        break 

• Deleting chat threads

Note

bot arg is the model/displayName. name arg is the one you'd mention them in group chat.

• Sending messages and Streaming responses in group chat

# User engagement example:
while True: 
    message = str(input('\n\033[38;5;121mYou : \033[0m'))
    prev_bot = ""
    for chunk in client.send_message_to_group(group_name='Hangout', message=message):
        if chunk['bot'] != prev_bot:
            print(f"\n\033[38;5;121m{chunk['bot']} : \033[0m", end='', flush=True)
            prev_bot = chunk['bot']
        print(chunk['response'], end='', flush=True)
    print('\n')

# Auto-play example:
while True:
    prev_bot = ""
    for chunk in client.send_message_to_group(group_name='Hangout', autoplay=True):
        if chunk['bot'] != prev_bot:
            print(f"\n\033[38;5;121m{chunk['bot']} : \033[0m", end='', flush=True)
            prev_bot = chunk['bot']
        print(chunk['response'], end='', flush=True)
    print('\n')

# Preset history example:
preset_path = "c:\\users\\snowby666\\preset.json"
prev_bot = ""
for chunk in client.send_message_to_group(group_name='Hangout', autoplay=True, preset_history=preset_path):
    if chunk['bot'] != prev_bot:
        print(f"\n\033[38;5;121m{chunk['bot']} : \033[0m", end='', flush=True)
        prev_bot = chunk['bot']
    print(chunk['response'], end='', flush=True)
print('\n')
while True:
    for chunk in client.send_message_to_group(group_name='Hangout', autoplay=True):
        if chunk['bot'] != prev_bot:
            print(f"\n\033[38;5;121m{chunk['bot']} : \033[0m", end='', flush=True)
            prev_bot = chunk['bot']
        print(chunk['response'], end='', flush=True)
    print('\n')

Note

You can also change your name in group chat by passing a new one to the above function: client.send_message_to_group('Hangout', message=message, user='Danny') If you want to auto save the conversation_log, just simply set this to true: client.send_message_to_group('Hangout', message=message, autosave=True)

• Deleting a group chat

client.delete_group(group_name='Hangout')

• Getting created groups

print(client.get_available_groups())

• Getting group data

print(client.get_group(group_name='Hangout'))

# Save as json in the same directory
client.save_group_history(group_name='Hangout')
# Save with a local path (json only)
local_path = "c:\\users\\snowby666\\log.json"
client.save_group_history(group_name='Hangout', file_path=local_path)

• Loading group chat history

print(client.load_group_history(file_path=local_path))
