not send message

[parsibox]

hi
i send message to myself
but i can not send any more message
msg command not have any output
is there any limit in telegram api ?

[LukeLR]

Yes, there are limitations, but they are not set so low that you could reach them with a single message. Usually, when sending multiple messages within seconds, they might appear. Therefore it must be some kind of bug you are experiencing. What exactly did you do? You installed tg-cli, then sent a message to yourself, which worked, but after that the msg-command didn't work anymore?

[luckydonald]

You could try msg user#76388752 hi
user_info:

User +989134050600 +989134050600 (#76388752):

[gnumoksha]

@parsibox a @luckydonald trick should be work. But perhaps you wish see https://gist.github.com/gnumoksha/a95f237d82733ce1f748

[parsibox]

this command also not work

msg user#76388752 hi

[parsibox]

my output of stats is

stats
users_allocated 290
chats_allocated 0
encr_chats_allocated 0
peer_num 290
messages_allocated 4

also this command for my other number work but for +989134050600_+989134050600 not work

msg user#37712354 hi
[00:37] +989132677411 +989132677411 <<< hi

[gnumoksha]

@parsibox well, many people have success with user#id syntax (leastwise in 1.2 version). You can try reinitiate the process, add the contacts in address list, execute contact_list and dialog_list before send a message...

[parsibox]

i try use first contact_list and thene dialog_list and after that send ( msg user#76388752 hi ) bot not work
i say ( msg user#37712354 hi ) work for me ( in my other number ) but on new numbers not work
if you want i can send ssh info of my server to see what happend and fix it
can telegram block my account?

[parsibox]

please see this image
http://5.9.34.245/tg/Screenshot%20%281318%29.png
please help me
i need working with this api

[gnumoksha]

The error is:

> msg user#1234567 "testing"
 *** reply_id=0, disable=0
FAIL: 71: RPC_CALL_FAIL 400: PEER_ID_INVALID

while sending or receiving message over telegram-cli.

But api does not explain this

[luckydonald]

Right, check the output in verbose mode, starting the cli with -vvvv

[LordJohn42]

Salam.
Thats "msg userName Hello" should be work. On 1.2.0.

[vysheng]

@gnumoksha Probably you mistyped id or this user is not in your contact list and you don't have his access_hash. If you had any messages with him in the past -W key may help

[vysheng]

@parsibox probably you hit flood control. Run with -vvvv and look for error messages

[parsibox]

in -vvv mode it say

msg user#xxxxxx"testing" ( change id )
*** error for query #6150888942118155264: #400 PEER_ID_INVALID

[LordJohn42]

@parsibox I think id is incorrect. It must be in 12345678 format.
You got this error.
https://core.telegram.org/method/messages.sendMessage

[parsibox]

no id currect and i can send message to this id now ( i add this user by number in my contact now and then send message )
that command now work
i think it is telegram bug , sometime say this error for me

[luckydonald]

Does it work, if you rename the contacts, and not phone numbers as names?

[parsibox]

no i try this yesterday and not worked

[sladec]

Don't know if it related ...but I cant send message's unless I start with -W flag or run contact_list first else I get {"error": "can not parse arg #1", "result": "FAIL", "error_code": 38} is this normal ?

[luckydonald]

That is known. #414 (solution), #406 (solution), #411, #483, #399,

[parsibox]

now it say to mee
#420 FLOOD_WAIT_86400 (HANDLED)
what is it ?

[vysheng]

you were banned for 86400 seconds (=1 day) for flood.

[parsibox]

whay telegram ban me?
what is the rule?

[vysheng]

probably you reached limit for number of sent messages. It is unknown what limit do they have.

[parsibox]

thanks

[jonnywilliamson]

@parsibox just how many messages where you trying to send? How quickly? Did the recipients you were sending to have your number in their phonebook?

All these things likely make a difference.

[parsibox]

i send about 400 message
with waiting 3 secend
no they do not have my number in theire phonebook
they are users of my site
how can i send about 2,000 message in one theye , with the same note?

[parsibox]

adding to contact also return error
#420 FLOOD_WAIT_11 (HANDLED)

[LukeLR]

You need to use a Broadcast for messaging so many Users. The broadcast command in the telegram cli is fine for that, you could add all your users to a line of text and pass that the broadcast command. Keep that line saved somewhere so you don't need to re-type all the names the next time. Or you could use one of telegrams desktop or mobile applications, those save previously used broadcast lists, so you can reuse them easily.

[parsibox]

can you write a sample for using Broadcast command?

[LukeLR]

Of course I can ;) Hold on a sec...
This is an example for the broadcast command using the user-IDs. As shown, you can request them by using the user_info-command.

And this is an example how to use the broadcast command with the screen names as they are shown in contact list or dialog list. Both methods work well for me ;)
