So I’m making a Telegram bot with python that should be able to periodically delete messages. I managed to make is start successfully and host it on Replit, but the bot doesn’t respond to /start or any other commands. I have double-checked that I am using the correct API token and all the correct versions.

telegram-bot to build like a menu builder bot to manage some documents for collage, and i wanted to add back button to give me the pervious menu.. so i made a stack class and imported it to pop last menu but it seems calling the functions does not work in the library (the only one i used so far)

I’m trying to integrate a Telegram bot into my Python script. The bot is not the primary part of the script, but I need it to send automatic updates to a user based on certain conditions. Most examples I found online involve bots that react to user messages, but I need my bot to send messages automatically without any user interaction.

Please help me, I can’t figure out the library. I want to pass arguments to the ericsson_alarm function. I don’t understand how to do this

I am using the python-telegram-bot library. When entering the bot for the first time, pressing the ‘/start’ button initiates a conversation which has only a single message. I need all actions to occur within this single message. This message contains text and some buttons.

I am writing a Python code for a Telegram bot for the first time, using the ‘python-telegram-bot’ library. The bot supposed to work like this: When entering the bot for the first time, pressing the ‘/start’ button initiates a conversation. This conversation has only a single message, and for specific reasons, I need all actions to occur within this single message without creating separate messages. This message contains text and some buttons below it.
The menu that appears when the start button is pressed is named ‘main_menu’ in its callback_data, and the buttons below it each have their specific text and are numbered with the prefix ‘menu’ in their callback_data: for example, the first button is ‘menu_1’, the second button is ‘menu_2’, and the third button is ‘menu_3’.
By clicking one of the buttons, such as the first button (whose callback_data is ‘menu_1’), we enter its submenu. This time, only the conversation text is edited (No new message is created), and there is a button below it with the callback_data ‘submenu_1_1’. If this button is clicked, the message text changes again, prompting ” Ok. The default number is 0. Please enter a number:” and asking the user for a numeric input. After the user sends the number, the same message text should change again and update displaying the previous message with the number the user entered. I asked ChatGPT about this, but the provided answer did not resolve my issue. The problem arises in the part where the user sends the number, but I got confused how to write the code to make the bot change the text of the same message again and show the user the number they entered, and re-display the buttons that were in ‘menu_3’. Is there any solution to do this?

I’m working on a Python script that sends messages using Telegram’s API. I encountered an error when sending a message that includes the ‘.’ character. The error message is:

Good morning everyone! I’m still struggling with my telegram bot which, given a URL, accesses Amazon and scrapes product information. At this point I would like to ask you how I can start the Bot in Long Polling mode, which I have been advised is good to avoid overloading the Telegram servers with requests. I had received a tip telling me I could start the bot with updater.idle(); however, despite trying, this shows no signs of life.

I was creating a Telegram Bot that takes care of scraping on Amazon after receiving a URL via chat. Although it performs this task very well, I cannot handle the case in which the bot received a text that does not fall within the “allowed commands”; in fact, what I wanted it to accept are /start, /stop and a properly formatted URL. I had tried to insert an additional Handler that filtered the messages, but without success. Ultimately I would like any text outside of start, stop, and a URL to be responded to with an error message, such as “SEND ME A URL PLEASE”.

i want to make a bot that will forward message from business chat to bot.
