Methods

getUpdates

getUpdates(offset: Integer, limit: Integer, timeout: Integer, allowed_updates: List<String>)

Use this method to receive incoming updates using long polling (wiki). An Array of Update objects is returned.

Notes
1. This method will not work if an outgoing webhook is set up.
2. In order to avoid getting duplicate updates, recalculate offset after each server response.

name type required description
offset Integer false Identifier of the first update to be returned. Must be greater by one than the highest among the identifiers of previously received updates. By default, updates starting with the earliest unconfirmed update are returned. An update is considered confirmed as soon as getUpdates is called with an offset higher than its update_id. The negative offset can be specified to retrieve updates starting from -offset update from the end of the updates queue. All previous updates will forgotten.
limit Integer false Limits the number of updates to be retrieved. Values between 1-100 are accepted. Defaults to 100.
timeout Integer false Timeout in seconds for long polling. Defaults to 0, i.e. usual short polling. Should be positive, short polling should be used for testing purposes only.
allowed_updates List false A JSON-serialized list of the update types you want your bot to receive. For example, specify [“message”, “edited_channel_post”, “callback_query”] to only receive updates of these types. See Update for a complete list of available update types. Specify an empty list to receive all update types except chat_member (default). If not specified, the previous setting will be used.

Please note that this parameter doesn't affect updates created before the call to the getUpdates, so unwanted updates may be received for a short period of time.

setWebhook

setWebhook(url: String, certificate: InputFile, ip_address: String, max_connections: Integer, allowed_updates: List<String>, drop_pending_updates: Boolean)

Use this method to specify a url and receive incoming updates via an outgoing webhook. Whenever there is an update for the bot, we will send an HTTPS POST request to the specified url, containing a JSON-serialized Update. In case of an unsuccessful request, we will give up after a reasonable amount of attempts. Returns True on success.

If you'd like to make sure that the Webhook request comes from Telegram, we recommend using a secret path in the URL, e.g. https://www.example.com/<token>. Since nobody else knows your bot's token, you can be pretty sure it's us.

Notes
1. You will not be able to receive updates using getUpdates for as long as an outgoing webhook is set up.
2. To use a self-signed certificate, you need to upload your public key certificate using certificate parameter. Please upload as InputFile, sending a String will not work.
3. Ports currently supported for Webhooks: 443, 80, 88, 8443.

NEW! If you're having any trouble setting up webhooks, please check out this amazing guide to Webhooks.

name type required description
url String true HTTPS url to send updates to. Use an empty string to remove webhook integration
certificate InputFile false Upload your public key certificate so that the root certificate in use can be checked. See our self-signed guide for details.
ip_address String false The fixed IP address which will be used to send webhook requests instead of the IP address resolved through DNS
max_connections Integer false Maximum allowed number of simultaneous HTTPS connections to the webhook for update delivery, 1-100. Defaults to 40. Use lower values to limit the load on your bot's server, and higher values to increase your bot's throughput.
allowed_updates List false A JSON-serialized list of the update types you want your bot to receive. For example, specify [“message”, “edited_channel_post”, “callback_query”] to only receive updates of these types. See Update for a complete list of available update types. Specify an empty list to receive all update types except chat_member (default). If not specified, the previous setting will be used.
Please note that this parameter doesn't affect updates created before the call to the setWebhook, so unwanted updates may be received for a short period of time.
drop_pending_updates Boolean false Pass True to drop all pending updates

deleteWebhook

deleteWebhook(drop_pending_updates: Boolean)

Use this method to remove webhook integration if you decide to switch back to getUpdates. Returns True on success.

name type required description
drop_pending_updates Boolean false Pass True to drop all pending updates

getWebhookInfo

getWebhookInfo()

Use this method to get current webhook status. Requires no parameters. On success, returns a WebhookInfo object. If the bot is using getUpdates, will return an object with the url field empty.

one_time_keyboard Boolean false Optional. Requests clients to hide the keyboard as soon as it's been used. The keyboard will still be available, but clients will automatically display the usual letter-keyboard in the chat – the user can press a special button in the input field to see the custom keyboard again. Defaults to false.

selective Boolean false Optional. Use this parameter if you want to show the keyboard to specific users only. Targets: 1) users that are @mentioned in the text of the Message object; 2) if the bot's message is a reply (has reply_to_message_id), sender of the original message.

Example: A user requests to change the bot's language, bot replies to the request with a keyboard to select the new language. Other users in the group don't see the keyboard.

KeyboardButton

KeyboardButton(text: String, request_contact: Boolean, request_location: Boolean, request_poll: KeyboardButtonPollType)

This object represents one button of the reply keyboard. For simple text buttons String can be used instead of this object to specify text of the button. Optional fields request_contact, request_location, and request_poll are mutually exclusive.

Note: request_contact and request_location options will only work in Telegram versions released after 9 April, 2016. Older clients will display unsupported message.
Note: request_poll option will only work in Telegram versions released after 23 January, 2020. Older clients will display unsupported message.

name type required description
text String true Text of the button. If none of the optional fields are used, it will be sent as a message when the button is pressed
request_contact Boolean false Optional. If True, the user's phone number will be sent as a contact when the button is pressed. Available in private chats only

ReplyKeyboardRemove

ReplyKeyboardRemove(remove_keyboard: Boolean, selective: Boolean)

Upon receiving a message with this object, Telegram clients will remove the current custom keyboard and display the default letter-keyboard. By default, custom keyboards are displayed until a new keyboard is sent by a bot. An exception is made for one-time keyboards that are hidden immediately after the user presses a button (see ReplyKeyboardMarkup).

name type required description
remove_keyboard Boolean true Requests clients to remove the custom keyboard (user will not be able to summon this keyboard; if you want to hide the keyboard from sight but keep it accessible, use one_time_keyboard in ReplyKeyboardMarkup)
selective Boolean false Optional. Use this parameter if you want to remove the keyboard for specific users only. Targets: 1) users that are @mentioned in the text of the Message object; 2) if the bot's message is a reply (has reply_to_message_id), sender of the original message.

Example: A user votes in a poll, bot returns confirmation message in reply to the vote and removes the keyboard for that user, while still showing the keyboard with poll options to users who haven't voted yet.

This object represents an inline keyboard that appears right next to the message it belongs to.

Note: This will only work in Telegram versions released after 9 April, 2016. Older clients will display unsupported message.

name type required description

InlineKeyboardButton

InlineKeyboardButton(text: String, url: String, login_url: LoginUrl, callback_data: String, switch_inline_query: String, switch_inline_query_current_chat: String, callback_game: CallbackGame, pay: Boolean)

This object represents one button of an inline keyboard. You must use exactly one of the optional fields.

name type required description
text String true Label text on the button
url String false Optional. HTTP or tg:// url to be opened when the button is pressed. Links tg://user?id=<user_id> can be used to mention a user by their ID without using a username, if this is allowed by their privacy settings.
login_url LoginUrl false Optional. An HTTP URL used to automatically authorize the user. Can be used as a replacement for the Telegram Login Widget.
callback_data String false Optional. Data to be sent in a callback query to the bot when button is pressed, 1-64 bytes
switch_inline_query String false Optional. If set, pressing the button will prompt the user to select one of their chats, open that chat and insert the bot's username and the specified inline query in the input field. Can be empty, in which case just the bot's username will be inserted.

Note: This offers an easy way for users to start using your bot in inline mode when they are currently in a private chat with it. Especially useful when combined with switch_pm… actions – in this case the user will be automatically returned to the chat they switched from, skipping the chat selection screen.
switch_inline_query_current_chat String false Optional. If set, pressing the button will insert the bot's username and the specified inline query in the current chat's input field. Can be empty, in which case only the bot's username will be inserted.

This offers a quick way for the user to open your bot in inline mode in the same chat – good for selecting something from multiple options.
callback_game CallbackGame false Optional. Description of the game that will be launched when the user presses the button.

NOTE: This type of button must always be the first button in the first row.
pay Boolean false Optional. Specify True, to send a Pay button.

NOTE: This type of button must always be the first button in the first row and can only be used in invoice messages.

LoginUrl

LoginUrl(url: String, forward_text: String, bot_username: String, request_write_access: Boolean)

This object represents a parameter of the inline keyboard button used to automatically authorize a user. Serves as a great replacement for the Telegram Login Widget when the user is coming from Telegram. All the user needs to do is tap/click a button and confirm that they want to log in:

Telegram apps support these buttons as of version 5.7.

Sample bot: @discussbot

name type required description
url String true An HTTP URL to be opened with user authorization data added to the query string when the button is pressed. If the user refuses to provide authorization data, the original URL without information about the user will be opened. The data added is the same as described in Receiving authorization data.

NOTE: You must always check the hash of the received data to verify the authentication and the integrity of the data as described in Checking authorization.
forward_text String false Optional. New text of the button in forwarded messages.
bot_username String false Optional. Username of a bot, which will be used for user authorization. See Setting up a bot for more details. If not specified, the current bot's username will be assumed. The url's domain must be the same as the domain linked with the bot. See Linking your domain to the bot for more details.
request_write_access Boolean false Optional. Pass True to request the permission for your bot to send messages to the user.

CallbackQuery

CallbackQuery(id: String, from: User, message: Message, inline_message_id: String, chat_instance: String, data: String, game_short_name: String)

This object represents an incoming callback query from a callback button in an inline keyboard. If the button that originated the query was attached to a message sent by the bot, the field message will be present. If the button was attached to a message sent via the bot (in inline mode), the field inline_message_id will be present. Exactly one of the fields data or game_short_name will be present.

NOTE: After the user presses a callback button, Telegram clients will display a progress bar until you call answerCallbackQuery. It is, therefore, necessary to react by calling answerCallbackQuery even if no notification to the user is needed (e.g., without specifying any of the optional parameters).

name type required description
id String true Unique identifier for this query
from User true Sender
message Message false Optional. Message with the callback button that originated the query. Note that message content and message date will not be available if the message is too old
inline_message_id String false Optional. Identifier of the message sent via the bot in inline mode, that originated the query.
chat_instance String true Global identifier, uniquely corresponding to the chat to which the message with the callback button was sent. Useful for high scores in games.
data String false Optional. Data associated with the callback button. Be aware that a bad client can send arbitrary data in this field.
game_short_name String false Optional. Short name of a Game to be returned, serves as the unique identifier for the game

ForceReply

ForceReply(force_reply: Boolean, input_field_placeholder: String, selective: Boolean)

Upon receiving a message with this object, Telegram clients will display a reply interface to the user (act as if the user has selected the bot's message and tapped 'Reply'). This can be extremely useful if you want to create user-friendly step-by-step interfaces without having to sacrifice privacy mode.

Example: A poll bot for groups runs in privacy mode (only receives commands, replies to its messages and mentions). There could be two ways to create a new poll:

  • Explain the user how to send a command with parameters (e.g. /newpoll question answer1 answer2). May be appealing for hardcore users but lacks modern day polish.
  • Guide the user through a step-by-step process. 'Please send me your question', 'Cool, now let's add the first answer option', 'Great. Keep adding answer options, then send /done when you're ready'.

The last option is definitely more attractive. And if you use ForceReply in your bot's questions, it will receive the user's answers even if it only receives replies, commands and mentions — without any extra work for the user.

name type required description
force_reply Boolean true Shows reply interface to the user, as if they manually selected the bot's message and tapped 'Reply'
input_field_placeholder String false Optional. The placeholder to be shown in the input field when the reply is active; 1-64 characters
selective Boolean false Optional. Use this parameter if you want to force reply from specific users only. Targets: 1) users that are @mentioned in the text of the Message object; 2) if the bot's message is a reply (has reply_to_message_id), sender of the original message.

results List true A JSON-serialized array of results for the inline query
cache_time Integer false The maximum amount of time in seconds that the result of the inline query may be cached on the server. Defaults to 300.
is_personal Boolean false Pass True, if results may be cached on the server side only for the user that sent the query. By default, results may be returned to any user who sends the same query
next_offset String false Pass the offset that a client should send in the next query with the same text to receive more results. Pass an empty string if there are no more results or if you don't support pagination. Offset length can't exceed 64 bytes.
switch_pm_text String false If passed, clients will display a button with specified text that switches the user to a private chat with the bot and sends the bot a start message with the parameter switch_pm_parameter
switch_pm_parameter String false Deep-linking parameter for the /start message sent to the bot when user presses the switch button. 1-64 characters, only A-Z, a-z, 0-9, _ and - are allowed.

Example: An inline bot that sends YouTube videos can ask the user to connect the bot to their YouTube account to adapt search results accordingly. To do this, it displays a 'Connect your YouTube account' button above the results, or even before showing any. The user presses the button, switches to a private chat with the bot and, in doing so, passes a start parameter that instructs the bot to return an OAuth link. Once done, the bot can offer a switch_inline button so that the user can easily return to the chat where they wanted to use the bot's inline capabilities.
