Type:: str

parse_caption_entities(types=None)[source]¶

Returns a dict that maps telegram.MessageEntity to str. It contains entities from this message’s caption filtered by their telegram.MessageEntity.type attribute as the key, and the text that each entity belongs to as the value of the dict.

Note

This method should always be used instead of the caption_entities attribute, since it calculates the correct substring from the message text based on UTF-16 codepoints. See parse_entity for more info.

Parameters:: types (List[str], optional) – List of telegram.MessageEntity types as strings. If the type attribute of an entity is contained in this list, it will be returned. Defaults to a list of all types. All types can be found as constants in telegram.MessageEntity.
Returns:: A dictionary of entities mapped to the text that belongs to them, calculated based on UTF-16 codepoints.
Return type:: Dict[telegram.MessageEntity, str]

parse_caption_entity(entity)[source]¶

Returns the text from a given telegram.MessageEntity.

Note

This method is present because Telegram calculates the offset and length in UTF-16 codepoint pairs, which some versions of Python don’t handle automatically. (That is, you can’t just slice Message.caption with the offset and length.)

Parameters:: entity (telegram.MessageEntity) – The entity to extract the text from. It must be an entity that belongs to this message.
Returns:: The text of the given entity.
Return type:: str
Raises:: RuntimeError – If the message has no caption.

parse_entities(types=None)[source]¶

Returns a dict that maps telegram.MessageEntity to str. It contains entities from this message filtered by their telegram.MessageEntity.type attribute as the key, and the text that each entity belongs to as the value of the dict.

Note

This method should always be used instead of the entities attribute, since it calculates the correct substring from the message text based on UTF-16 codepoints. See parse_entity for more info.

Parameters:: types (List[str], optional) – List of telegram.MessageEntity types as strings. If the type attribute of an entity is contained in this list, it will be returned. Defaults to a list of all types. All types can be found as constants in telegram.MessageEntity.
Returns:: A dictionary of entities mapped to the text that belongs to them, calculated based on UTF-16 codepoints.
Return type:: Dict[telegram.MessageEntity, str]

parse_entity(entity)[source]¶

Returns the text from a given telegram.MessageEntity.

Note
