I'm trying to send some txt data with this code
my_file = {'file' : ('/home/suomi/_data.txt', open('/home/suomi/_data.txt', 'r'), 'txt')}
payload={
"filename":"aaaa.txt",
"token":API_BOT,
"channel":'*my_user_id*',
}
x = requests.post("https://slack.com/api/files.upload", params=payload, files=my_file)
print(x)
print(x.json())
getting this response

But I'm not getting a response from my app - I have enabled right permissions and I can send normal text messages.
files:write, channels:history, channels:read, chat:write, groups:history
BTW. I'm trying to send a file to user, not channel
