![]() content_type can be one of the following strings: The Message object also has a content_typeattribute, which defines the type of the Message. Note that message.chat can be either an instance of User or GroupChat (see How can I distinguish a User and a GroupChat in message.chat?). Thus, attributes such as message_id can be accessed directly with ssage_id. They are all completely in line with the Telegram API's definition of the types, except for the Message's from field, which is renamed to from_user (because from is a Python reserved token). General API Documentation TypesĪll types are defined in types.py. To start the bot, simply open up a terminal and enter python echo_bot.py to run the bot! Test it by sending commands ('/start' and '/help') and arbitrary text messages. message_handler ( func = lambda message : True ) def echo_all ( message ): bot. reply_to ( message, "Howdy, how are you doing?" ). message_handler ( commands = ) def send_welcome ( message ): bot. infinity_polling ()Īlright, that's it! Our source file now looks like this: import telebot bot = telebot. To start the bot, add the following to our source file: bot. We now have a basic bot which replies a static message to "/start" and "/help" commands and which echoes the rest of the sent messages. Note: all handlers are tested in the order in which they were declared Since we want all messages to be handled by this function, we simply always return True. If the lambda returns True, the message is handled by the decorated function. It uses a lambda function to test a message. This one echoes all incoming text messages back to the sender. ![]() message_handler ( func = lambda m : True ) def echo_all ( message ): bot. reply_to ( message, "Howdy, how are you doing?" )Ī function which is decorated by a message handler can have an arbitrary name, however, it must have only one parameter (the message). Let's define a message handler which handles incoming /start and /help commands. ![]() If a message passes the filter, the decorated function is called and the incoming message is passed as an argument. Message handlers define filters which a message must pass. Note: Make sure to actually replace TOKEN with your own API token.Īfter that declaration, we need to register some so-called message handlers. TeleBot ( "TOKEN", parse_mode = None ) # You can set parse_mode by default. Then, open the file and create an instance of the TeleBot class. It provides functions such as send_xyz ( send_message, send_document etc.) and several ways to listen for incoming messages. The TeleBot class (defined in _ init_.py) encapsulates all API calls in a single class. ![]() It is presumed that you have obtained an API token with We will call this token TOKEN.įurthermore, you have basic knowledge of the Python programming language and more importantly the Telegram Bot API. While the API is production-ready, it is still under development and it has regular updates, do not forget to update it regularly by calling pip install pytelegrambotapi -upgrade It is generally recommended to use the first option. Installation from source (requires git):.Installation using pip (a Python package manager):.There are two ways to install the library: ![]() This API is tested with Python 3.7-3.11 and Pypy 3.
