How to read team chats with Keybase Chat API?

Whenever I use the following Keybase Chat API query:

{
  "method": "read",
  "params": {
    "options": {
      "channel": {
        "name": "teamnamehere",
        "pagination": {
          "num": 1000
        },
        "members_type": "team"
        "topic_name": "channelnamehere"
      }
    }
  }
}

I get this result returned every time:

{'error': {'code': 0, 'message': "invalid character 'm' looking for beginning of object key string"}}

This is the Python code to execute the query, with q being the query and json_out being a file that this error is written to:

q = json.dumps(query)
cmd = "echo {} | keybase chat api > {}".format(q, json_out)

This works fine for the normal Chat API specifications between two users with the following:

{
  "method": "read",
  "params": {
    "options": {
      "channel": {
        "name": "user1,user2",
        "pagination": {
          "num": 1000
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

As far as I can tell, this confines to the standards set forth by the Chat API. Does anyone have any ideas on how to avoid this error?

I found the problem, the Keybase API just wasn't very helpful with the provided error message.

You need to put quotes around the {} in the echo statement, like such:

cmd = "echo '{}' | keybase chat api > {}".format(q, json_out)
