Question

I am getting the error ValueError: Could not find the input entity for . Please read https://docs.telethon.dev/en/latest/concepts/entities.html to find out more details.. This error comes from client.send_message(bot_id, 'reset').

def run_test(self,name,bot_id):
        self.start = time.time()
        api_id = 10*****
        api_hash = 'c1*********************************'

        with TelegramClient('anon', api_id, api_hash) as client:
            #breakpoint()
            results = {'results':[], 'start': time.asctime(time.localtime(self.start)), 'conversations': len(self.conversations['tests'])}

Did you read the link from the error? docs.telethon.dev/en/latest/concepts/entities.html – Averett

Yes I did. Still can't figure out how to resolve this – Johnnyjumpup

read the summary – Brazilin

Can you include the imports of your program so it's easier to replicate? – Flotation

You are probably sending a message to an entity that is still "unseen". Please read: docs.telethon.dev/en/latest/concepts/entities.html – Laufer

I don't know if anyone still needs this. But I had this issue a few minutes ago the fix was to use bot name in place of bot ID.

client.send_message(client.get_entity('enter bot name here'),"Message")
