title: How to send a message to google hangouts with python?
body: <p>I am trying to create a simple &quot;chat bot&quot; for google hangouts that sends regular messages on a chat. I found <a href="https://developers.google.com/hangouts/chat/how-tos/service-accounts" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this documentation</a> but I find it tremendously complicated.</p>
  <p>It contains a &quot;Complete example&quot; but I am not sure about how to find the &quot;space&quot; ID for an existing google hangout chat. This is nowhere explained. How do I find the &quot;space&quot; ID for an existing google chat?</p>
  <p>And in addition: Is there a <strong>SIMPLE</strong> (!!!) documentation somewhere how to just simply post a message to an existing chat?</p>
