telegram.CallbackQuery¶

class telegram.CallbackQuery(id, from_user, chat_instance, message=None, data=None, inline_message_id=None, game_short_name=None, bot=None, **_kwargs)¶

Bases: telegram.base.TelegramObject

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.

Objects of this class are comparable in terms of equality. Two objects of this class are considered equal, if their id is equal.

Note

In Python from is a reserved word, use from_user instead.
Exactly one of the fields data or game_short_name will be present.
After the user presses an inline button, Telegram clients will display a progress bar until you call answer. It is, therefore, necessary to react by calling telegram.Bot.answer_callback_query even if no notification to the user is needed (e.g., without specifying any of the optional parameters).
If you’re using Bot.arbitrary_callback_data, data may be an instance of telegram.ext.InvalidCallbackData. This will be the case, if the data associated with the button triggering the telegram.CallbackQuery was already deleted or if data was manipulated by a malicious client.

New in version 13.6.

Parameters

id (str) – Unique identifier for this query.
from_user (telegram.User) – Sender.
chat_instance (str) – Global identifier, uniquely corresponding to the chat to which the message with the callback button was sent. Useful for high scores in games.
message (telegram.Message, 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.
data (str, optional) – Data associated with the callback button. Be aware that a bad client can send arbitrary data in this field.
inline_message_id (str, optional) – Identifier of the message sent via the bot in inline mode, that originated the query.
game_short_name (str, optional) – Short name of a Game to be returned, serves as the unique identifier for the game
bot (telegram.Bot, optional) – The Bot to use for instance methods.
