How to get Skype Group Chat ID

Question

How to find the the SkypeGroupChat ID from the a Skype account. I would like to send message to a Skype group using Skype API (SkPy with python)

Answer 1

I found out another way to view the chat id:

• Login your Web Skype use Chrome,
• press F12 to open developer tool,
• switch to "Network" tab, then send some message in the chat group you need to know the id,
• lookup the network records, you will find some requests to send message like this:

Request URL: https://client-s.gateway.messenger.live.com/v1/users/ME/conversations/19%3Axxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx%40thread.skype/messages?x-ecs-etag=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx....

after "conversations" in the path, "19:[email protected]" is chat group id as you want. (%3A is ":", %40 is "@")

Answer 2

I solved the problem.

Here is my code to find GroupID:

from skpy import Skype, SkypeChats

sk = Skype("userID", "password")
skc = SkypeChats(sk)
skc.recent()

then get information of recent conversations on terminal like

{'19:[email protected]': SkypeGroupChat(id='19:[email protected]', ....

On skpy document, declaring that Group conversation identifiers looks like 19:<random>@thread.skype.
