telegram.ReplyKeyboardMarkup

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

Bases: telegram.TelegramObject

This object represents a custom keyboard with reply options.

Objects of this class are comparable in terms of equality. Two objects of this class are considered equal, if their size of keyboard and all the buttons are equal.

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.

Parameters
  • keyboard (List[List[str | telegram.KeyboardButton]]) – Array of button rows, each represented by an Array of telegram.KeyboardButton objects.

  • resize_keyboard (bool, optional) – Requests clients to resize the keyboard vertically for optimal fit (e.g., make the keyboard smaller if there are just two rows of buttons). Defaults to False, in which case the custom keyboard is always of the same height as the app’s standard keyboard.

  • one_time_keyboard (bool, 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 (bool, 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 telegram.Message object.

    2. If the bot’s message is a reply (has reply_to_message_id), sender of the original message.

    Defaults to False.

  • input_field_placeholder (str, optional) –

    The placeholder to be shown in the input field when the keyboard is active; 1-64 characters.

    New in version 13.7.

  • **kwargs (dict) – Arbitrary keyword arguments.
