send_message no longer works

[DeanVanGreunen]

My example code below, testing the send_message api endpoint using the conversation id from (extract the id from linkedin's webapp on desktop when viewing the conversation id from the url bar

from linkedin_api import Linkedin
api = Linkedin('MyEmailAddressHere', 'MyPassword')
result = api.send_message("Test message 1234", '2-M2I1ZDVmYzctNWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA==')

result returns true

Tested with Bleeding Edge version as of a few minutes ago of this issue submission

Hi @DeanVanGreunen, they work perfectly u need to provied the urn_id in recipients []
message = api.send_message(message_body='Test Message', recipients['urn_id'])
They return False if they work and True if error

[DeanVanGreunen]

Could you show me an example of what the conversation id looks like?

Or where to get the recipient id

Same, I have tried to set the "urn_id", "profile_id", "profile_urn" and "member_urn" from profile as recipients, but none of them works.

@wentingliao-neu due to linkedin's new Api migration most of these libraries are broken and i expect we will only get a working update later in 2025...

As they are migrating their user base from the old "legacy" to the new "graphQL" apis

Through out some tests, some users can still access the legacy api, while others are forced to use the new graphQL API
