Connecting text gen to a Telegram bot

[KirillRepinArt]

I've been trying to connect the chat bot that I've made in Telegram to my local version of text-gen.
I've found a tutorial that shows how to do a very similar thing but using Huggingface instead:
https://dicksonneoh.com/portfolio/deploy_gpt_hf_models_on_telegram/
However when I replace url="https://hf.space/embed/dnth/gpt-j-6B/+/api/predict/", with my gradio.live link, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "F:\Program Files (x86)\Python_3_10_6\lib\site-packages\telegram\ext\dispatcher.py", line 555, in process_update
    handler.handle_update(update, self, check, context)
  File "F:\Program Files (x86)\Python_3_10_6\lib\site-packages\telegram\ext\handler.py", line 198, in handle_update
    return self.callback(update, context)

    response_text = get_gpt_response(update.message.text)
  File "C:\Users\relis\AppData\Local\Temp\ipykernel_13692\1670924238.py", line 19, in get_gpt_response
    return response["data"][0]
KeyError: 'data'

Does anybody know how to fix it?

By the way, when I use the link provided in the tutorial everything works, but the model itself kinda sucks. Would be so much more fun if it was possible to use custom characters and models.
