Hello, can I use this library to create a group and send messages in this group

[ErrorxCode]

use createGroup() method of Instagram.Direct class to create the grp and then spamGroup() to send a message In it,

Eg-

insta.direct().createGroup("Test group","x0.rahil,"._qafiyana"); // rahil and qafiyana are grp members username
insta.direct().spamGroup(1,admin_username,new String[]{"Hiii"},callback) //admin is your username in this case

I saw this method, but its comment is that it is not implemented and it is private. I cannot call it through the insta. direct(). createGroup method

[ErrorxCode]

Yeah! you are right. This method is set to private. This might be a mistake. What you can do is you can use reflection to access it or else clone the project, make that method public, test and create a pull request if it works.

Or you might need to wait for the next release of the library

I try to fix this error
But when I tested this method, I found that this method could not be executed correctly. It returned 400 to me. I am not proficient in using instagram4j. Can you tell me where the error is? Here is the specific error message:

This is my code

[ErrorxCode]

it's instagram4j issue. We can't implement this method until this problem is resolved
