Bases: telegram.Bot, typing.Generic

This object represents a Telegram Bot with convenience extensions.

Warning

Not to be confused with telegram.Bot.

For the documentation of the arguments, methods and attributes, please see telegram.Bot.

All API methods of this class have an additional keyword argument rate_limit_args. This can be used to pass additional information to the rate limiter, specifically to telegram.ext.BaseRateLimiter.process_request.rate_limit_args.

This class is a Generic class and accepts one type variable that specifies the generic type of the rate_limiter used by the bot. Use None if no rate limiter is used.

Warning

The keyword argument rate_limit_args can not be used, if rate_limiter is None.
The method get_updates() is the only method that does not have the additional argument, as this method will never be rate limited.
