Installation:

You can install this library by running the following command:

pip3 install poe-api

Documentation:

Examples can be found in the /examples directory. To run these examples, pass in your token as a command-line argument.

python3 examples/temporary_message.py "TOKEN_HERE"

Finding Your Token:

Log into Poe on any web browser, then open your browser's developer tools (also known as "inspect") and look for the value of the p-b cookie in the following menus:

• Chromium: Devtools > Application > Cookies > poe.com
• Firefox: Devtools > Storage > Cookies
• Safari: Devtools > Storage > Cookies

Using the Client:

To use this library, simply import poe and create a poe.Client instance. The Client class accepts the following arguments:

• token - The token to use.
• proxy = None - The proxy to use, in the format protocol://host:port. The socks5/socks4 protocol is reccommended.

Regular Example:

import poe
client = poe.Client("TOKEN_HERE")

Proxied Example:

import poe
client = poe.Client("TOKEN_HERE", proxy="socks5://178.62.100.151:59166")

Note that the following examples assume client is the name of your poe.Client instance. If the token is invalid, a RuntimeError will be raised.

Downloading the Available Bots:

The client downloads all of the available bots upon initialization and stores them within client.bots. A dictionary that maps bot codenames to their display names can be found at client.bot_names. If you want to refresh these values, you can call client.get_bots.

print(client.bot_names)
#{'capybara': 'Sage', 'beaver': 'GPT-4', 'a2_2': 'Claude+', 'a2': 'Claude', 'chinchilla': 'ChatGPT', 'nutria': 'Dragonfly'}

Note that, on free accounts, Claude+ (a2_2) has a limit of 3 messages per day and GPT-4 (beaver) has a limit of 1 message per day. For all the other chatbots, there doesn't seem to be any rate limit.

Sending Messages:

You can use the client.send_message function to send a message to a chatbot, which accepts the following arguments:

• chatbot - The codename of the chatbot. (example: capybara)
• message - The message to send to the chatbot.
• with_chat_break = False - Whether the conversation context should be cleared.
• timeout = 20 - The max number of seconds in between recieved chunks until a RuntimeError is raised.

The function is a generator which returns the most recent version of the generated message whenever it is updated.

Streamed Example:

message = "Summarize the GNU GPL v3"
for chunk in client.send_message("capybara", message):
  print(chunk["text_new"], end="", flush=True)

Non-Streamed Example:

message = "Summarize the GNU GPL v3"
for chunk in client.send_message("capybara", message):
  pass
print(chunk["text"])

You can also send multiple messages in parallel using threading and recieve their responses seperately, as demonstrated in /examples/parallel_messages.py. Note that if you send messages too fast, the server will give an error, but the request will eventually succeed.

Clearing the Conversation Context:

If you want to clear the the context of a conversation without sending a message, you can use client.send_chat_break. The only argument is the codename of the bot whose context will be cleared.

client.send_chat_break("capybara")

The function returns the message which represents the chat break.

Downloading Conversation History:

To download past messages in a conversation, use the client.get_message_history function, which accepts the following arguments:

• chatbot - The codename of the chatbot.
• count = 25 - The number of messages to download.
• cursor = None - The message ID to start at instead of the latest one.

The returned messages are ordered from oldest to newest.

message_history = client.get_message_history("capybara", count=10)
print(json.dumps(message_history, indent=2))
"""
[
  {
    "node": {
      "id": "TWVzc2FnZToxMDEwNzYyODU=",
      "messageId": 101076285,
      "creationTime": 1679298157718888,
      "text": "",
      "author": "chat_break",
      "linkifiedText": "",
      "state": "complete",
      "suggestedReplies": [],
      "vote": null,
      "voteReason": null,
      "__typename": "Message"
    },
    "cursor": "101076285",
    "id": "TWVzc2FnZUVkZ2U6MTAxMDc2Mjg1OjEwMTA3NjI4NQ=="
  },
  ...
]
"""

Deleting Messages:

To delete messages, use the client.delete_message function, which accepts a single argument. You can pass a single message ID into it to delete a single message, or you can pass a list of message IDs to delete multiple messages at once.

#delete a single message
client.delete_message(96105719)

#delete multiple messages at once
client.delete_message([96105719, 96097108, 96097078, 96084421, 96084402])

Purging a Conversation:

To purge an entire conversation, or just the last few messages, you can use the client.purge_conversation function. This function accepts the following arguments:

• chatbot - The codename of the chatbot.
• count = -1 - The number of messages to be deleted, starting from the latest one. The default behavior is to delete every single message.

#purge just the last 10 messages
client.purge_conversation("capybara", count=10)

#purge the entire conversation
client.purge_conversation("capybara")

Misc:

Changing the Logging Level:

If you want to show debug messages, simply call poe.logger.setLevel.

import poe
import logging
poe.logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)

Setting a Custom User-Agent:

If you want to change the user-agent that is being spoofed, set poe.user_agent after importing the library.

import poe
poe.user_agent = "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/111.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"
