Attachments

Messages can contain various types of Attachments. Currently, Groupy supports the following types of attachments:

  • Image - for images
  • Location - for locations
  • Split - [*]
  • Emoji - for emoticons
  • Mentions - for “@” mentions
[*]This type of attachment will be depreciated soon.

Each of these classes has a create() method that accepts arguments specific to it’s class.

Types

Locations

Location attachments are the simplest of all attachment types. Each includes a name, a latitude, and a longitude.

>>> loc = groupy.Location.create('My house', lat=34, lng=-84.3)

Some location attachments also contain a foursqure_venue_id.

Images

Image attachments are unique in that they do not actually contain the image data.

Emojis

Emojis are relatively undocumented but frequently appear in messages.

Mentions

Mentions are a new type of attachment and is yet undocumented.

Splits

This type of attachment is not only largely undocumented, it is depreciated.
