How to send SVG image to user via VK-API in Python?

Question

Python

I need to get (or download) a picture from a link. Then send to the user in a personal message via vk-api. How can I do that? Does vk-api support SVG format at all or does it need to be converted? How to do it right? And it looks like the cairosvg library doesn't support SVG . And is it possible to shove a picture into a message? Here's something I didn't understand:

import vk_api
import json
import requests
import cairosvg
import vk_api.longpoll
from vk_api.longpoll import VkLongPoll , VkEventType , Event
try:
  from urllib.request import urlopen
  from PIL import Image
except:
  print("Import Error !")

token_vk = "*************************"

# инициализация бота
vk_session = vk_api.VkApi(token=token_vk)
vk = vk_session.get_api()

# инициализация лонгполлинга
longpoll = VkLongPoll(vk_session)

#много кода ...

def send_photo(photos):
  
  url = self.vk.method('photos.getMessagesUploadServer')['upload_url']
  photo_files = open_files(photos)
  response = self.vk.http.post(url, files=photo_files)
  close_files(photo_files)
  response = self.vk.method('photos.saveMessagesPhoto', response.json())
  
  return response

def state0(message: Event):
    text = message.text
    #бла-бла-бла
    cairosvg.svg2png(url='https://restcountries.eu/data/rus.svg', write_to='C:/Main/Programming/test.png')
    url2 = "C:/Main/Programming/test.png"
    image = Image.open(urlopen(url2))
    s = send_photo(image)

# отправляем сообщение
    vk.messages.send(
      user_id = message.user_id,	 # кому
      message = s					 # само сообщение хранится в переменной 's'
      )


# ожидаем события
for event in longpoll.listen():
  # если новое сообщение
  if event.type == VkEventType.MESSAGE_NEW and event.to_me:
    # получаем или создаём id пользователя в базе данных
    user, _ = User.get_or_create(vk_id=event.user_id) 
    if user.state == 0:
      state0(event)

Answer 1

Already did it myself. Suddenly, someone will need a link to github . There is also a conversion of SVG to JPG, as well as sending a photo in a personal to VK.

Answer 2

I wrote for my own needs, but if you look closely, you can catch the essence of how to upload a picture.
