telegram.InputMediaDocument

class telegram.InputMediaDocument(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: telegram.InputMedia

Represents a general file to be sent.

Parameters
  • media (str | file object | bytes | pathlib.Path | telegram.Document) –

    File to send. Pass a file_id to send a file that exists on the Telegram servers (recommended), pass an HTTP URL for Telegram to get a file from the Internet. Lastly you can pass an existing telegram.Document object to send.

    Changed in version 13.2: Accept bytes as input.

  • filename (str, optional) –

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

    New in version 13.1.

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

  • parse_mode (str, optional) – Send Markdown or HTML, if you want Telegram apps to show bold, italic, fixed-width text or inline URLs in the media caption. See the constants in telegram.constants.ParseMode for the available modes.

  • caption_entities (List[telegram.MessageEntity], optional) – List of special entities that appear in the caption, which can be specified instead of parse_mode.

  • thumb (file object | bytes | pathlib.Path, 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.

    Changed in version 13.2: Accept bytes as input.

  • disable_content_type_detection (bool, optional) – Disables automatic server-side content type detection for files uploaded using multipart/form-data. Always True, if the document is sent as part of an album.
