Why is my VK bot (group) not working (vk_api, python)?

Question

Python

Hello! It is necessary to make the bot send me at least some message, and the python script does not even want to work (I'm trying to log in as a group) ....
Question: Why?
Here is the code:

import time

import vk_api

vk = vk_api.VkApi(token = 'СКРЫТ В ЦЕЛЯХ БЕЗОПАСНОСТИ')

vk_api = vk.get_api()

LongPoll = vk_api.VkBotLongPoll(vk, 161827083, wait=20)

vk.auth()

Gives an error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/cheater/Документы/2pb.py", line 9, in <module>
    LongPoll = vk_api.VkBotLongPoll(vk, 161827083, wait=20)
TypeError: __call__() takes exactly 1 argument (4 given)
[Finished in 0.2s]

The token is fully operational.

Answer 1

Most likely the library is already outdated. Use vk-io.

Answer 2

Read the text of the exception.
The VkBotLongPoll method takes only 1 argument (and that is the current object itself), and for some reason you pass 4 to it.
And in general, the vk_api object does not have such a VkBotLongPoll method. You must have messed something up.
I recommend using vk instead of the vk_api library.
