How to send blank keyboard to VK API?

Question

Python

Liba: vk-api v11.9.1

Code:

"""
инициализация библиотеки vk_api
...
"""
 empty_keyboard = {
        "one_time": False,
        "buttons": []
    }

    for event in longpoll.listen():
        if event.type == VkEventType.MESSAGE_NEW and event.to_me and event.text:
            if event.text == 'Clear':
                if event.from_user:
                    vk.messages.send(
                        user_id = event.user_id,
                        keyboard = empty_keyboard,
                        message = "Пустая клавиатура",
                        random_id = get_random_id()
                    )

Input: Clear

Output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\1\Desktop\python bots\vk-hw-bot\bot.py", line 68, in <module>
    main()
  File "C:\Users\1\Desktop\python bots\vk-hw-bot\bot.py", line 38, in main
    vk.messages.send(
  File "C:\Users\1\Desktop\python bots\vk-hw-bot\venv\lib\site-packages\vk_api\vk_api.py", line 696, in __call__
    return self._vk.method(self._method, kwargs)
  File "C:\Users\1\Desktop\python bots\vk-hw-bot\venv\lib\site-packages\vk_api\vk_api.py", line 656, in method
    raise error
vk_api.exceptions.ApiError: [100] One of the parameters specified was missing or invalid: keyboard contains incorrect JSON

Question: How can I correctly set the parameters for `empty_keyboard` so that the above error does not occur? Thank you in advance for your response.

p.s. Already looked at answers both on Stackoverflow and Habr, however none of them solved my problem.

Answer 1

Send an empty keyboard, I think it will not work
