How to upload photo into main album at my community via vk_api

Question

If I use login and password to auth I get "vk_api.exceptions.ApiError: [203] Access to group denied"

If I use access token I get "vk_api.exceptions.ApiError: [27] Group authorization failed: method is unavailable with group auth."

First way:

def upload_pic(filename, album_id, group_id):
    vk_session = vk_api.VkApi(login=LOGIN, password=PASSWORD)
    try:
        vk_session.auth(token_only=True)
    except vk_api.AuthError as error_msg:
        print(error_msg)
        return
    upload = vk_api.VkUpload(vk_session)

    upload.photo(filename, album_id, group_id=group_id)

Second way:

def upload_pic(filename, album_id, group_id):
    vk_session = vk_api.VkApi(token=TOKEN)
    upload = vk_api.VkUpload(vk_session)
    upload.photo(filename, album_id, group_id=group_id)

I tried to add auth block from first way to second one but it nothing changed rights for token

Answer 1

I'm not sure that this is the reason but i remembered that vk_api uses keyword args

In general here's the working code

def upload_pic(filename, album_id, group_id):
    vk_session = vk_api.VkApi(login=LOGIN, password=PASSWORD)
    try:
        vk_session.auth(token_only=True)
    except vk_api.AuthError as error_msg:
        print(error_msg)
        return
    upload = vk_api.VkUpload(vk_session)
    upload.photo(filename, album_id=album_id, group_id=group_id)
