How to send an image to the wall of a group in VK?

Question

PHP

Good day, I use https://github.com/python273/vk_api to work with api vk.
Today I needed to send an image to the group wall and constantly received errors
vk_api.vk_api.ApiError: [121] Invalid hash
I decided to check the correctness of the actions through VK tools
https://vk.com/dev/photos.saveWallPhoto
https://vk.com/ dev/photos.getWallUploadServer
was getting 121

Answer 1

You need authorization. token

Answer 2

print connection.__dict__
'token': {u'access_token': u'token_there', u'expires_in': u'0', u'user_id': u'Id_there'}
