Sending Image within Direct Message Issue (Bad Media)
See original GitHub issueHello! So I am unable to send images that I’m uploading within direct messages. My code is as follows: ` auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret) auth.set_access_token(accessKey, accessSecret)
api = tweepy.API(auth)
response = api.media_upload(media)
media_id = response.media_id_string
api.send_direct_message(recipient_id=friendID, text=message, attachment_type="media", attachment_media_id=media_id)`
My media variable is a path to a .jpg file. This image is less than the maximum upload size (it uploads successfully). I get an ID associated with the image every time I attempt this process, but I always get the error: [{‘code’: 151, ‘message’: ‘There was an error sending your message: Bad Media, unable to process: Some(InvalidMedia).’} when attaching the media to a direct message.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This API Wrapper is great! Thanks for your efforts!

media is the local path to a .png image on your machine or server. media_id is the id field from Twitter’s response to their image upload API.
The way I got it working was using the image upload API for Twitter. The image gets uploaded and Twitter responds with the media_id. I then used that media_id and the path my local image for the media field to finally send images via direct message.
