Working with Files and Media

Changed in version 20.5: Removed the deprecated argument and attribute thumb.

Parameters:

  • media (str | file object | InputFile | bytes | pathlib.Path | telegram.Animation) –

    File to send. Pass a file_id as String to send a file that exists on the Telegram servers (recommended), pass an HTTP URL as a String for Telegram to get a file from the Internet, or upload a new one. To upload a file, you can either pass a file object (e.g. open("filename", "rb")) or the file contents as bytes. If the bot is running in local_mode, passing the path of the file (as string or pathlib.Path object) is supported as well. Lastly you can pass an existing telegram.Animation object to send.

    Changed in version 13.2: Accept bytes as input.

  • filename (str, optional) –

    Custom file name for the animation, when uploading a new file. Convenience parameter, useful e.g. when sending files generated by the tempfile module.

    Added in version 13.1.

  • caption (str, optional) – Caption of the animation to be sent, 0-1024 characters after entities parsing.

  • parse_mode (str, optional) – Mode for parsing entities. See telegram.constants.ParseMode and formatting options for more details.

  • caption_entities (Sequence[telegram.MessageEntity], optional) –

    Sequence of special entities that appear in the caption, which can be specified instead of parse_mode.

    Changed in version 20.0: Accepts any collections.abc.Sequence as input instead of just a list. The input is converted to a tuple.

  • width (int, optional) – Animation width.

  • height (int, optional) – Animation height.

  • duration (int, optional) – Animation duration in seconds.

  • has_spoiler (bool, optional) –

    Pass True, if the animation needs to be covered with a spoiler animation.

    Added in version 20.0.

  • thumbnail (file object | bytes | pathlib.Path | str, optional) –

    Thumbnail of the file sent; can be ignored if thumbnail generation for the file is supported server-side. The thumbnail should be in JPEG format and less than 200 kB in size. A thumbnail’s width and height should not exceed 320. Ignored if the file is not uploaded using multipart/form-data. Thumbnails can’t be reused and can be only uploaded as a new file. To upload a file, you can either pass a file object (e.g. open("filename", "rb")) or the file contents as bytes. If the bot is running in local_mode, passing the path of the file (as string or pathlib.Path object) is supported as well.

    Added in version 20.2.

  • show_caption_above_media (bool, optional) –

    Pass True, if the caption must be shown above the message media.

    Added in version 21.3.
