Member Function Documentation

addStickerToSet()

bool TgBot::Api::addStickerToSet	(	std::int64_t	userId,
		const std::string &	name,
		InputSticker::Ptr	sticker ) const

Use this method to add a new sticker to a set created by the bot.

Emoji sticker sets can have up to 200 stickers. Other sticker sets can have up to 120 stickers.

Parameters

userId	User identifier of sticker set owner
name	Sticker set name
sticker	A JSON-serialized object with information about the added sticker. If exactly the same sticker had already been added to the set, then the set isn't changed.

answerCallbackQuery()

bool TgBot::Api::answerCallbackQuery	(	const std::string &	callbackQueryId,
		const std::string &	text = "",
		bool	showAlert = false,
		const std::string &	url = "",
		std::int32_t	cacheTime = 0 ) const

Use this method to send answers to callback queries sent from inline keyboards.

The answer will be displayed to the user as a notification at the top of the chat screen or as an alert.

Alternatively, the user can be redirected to the specified Game URL. For this option to work, you must first create a game for your bot via @BotFather and accept the terms. Otherwise, you may use links like t.me/your_bot?start=XXXX that open your bot with a parameter.

Parameters

callbackQueryId	Unique identifier for the query to be answered
text	Optional. Text of the notification. If not specified, nothing will be shown to the user, 0-200 characters
showAlert	Optional. If True, an alert will be shown by the client instead of a notification at the top of the chat screen. Defaults to false.
url	Optional. URL that will be opened by the user's client. If you have created a Game and accepted the conditions via @BotFather, specify the URL that opens your game - note that this will only work if the query comes from an InlineKeyboardButton button.
cacheTime	Optional. The maximum amount of time in seconds that the result of the callback query may be cached client-side. Telegram apps will support caching starting in version 3.14. Defaults to 0.

Returns

On success, True is returned.

answerInlineQuery()

bool TgBot::Api::answerInlineQuery	(	const std::string &	inlineQueryId,

		bool	isPersonal = false,
		const std::string &	nextOffset = "",
		InlineQueryResultsButton::Ptr	button = nullptr ) const

Use this method to send answers to an inline query.

No more than 50 results per query are allowed.

Parameters

inlineQueryId	Unique identifier for the answered query
results	A JSON-serialized array of results for the inline query
cacheTime	Optional. The maximum amount of time in seconds that the result of the inline query may be cached on the server. Defaults to 300.
isPersonal	Optional. Pass True if results may be cached on the server side only for the user that sent the query. By default, results may be returned to any user who sends the same query.
nextOffset	Optional. Pass the offset that a client should send in the next query with the same text to receive more results. Pass an empty string if there are no more results or if you don't support pagination. Offset length can't exceed 64 bytes.
button	Optional. A JSON-serialized object describing a button to be shown above inline query results

Returns

On success, True is returned.

Parameters

preCheckoutQueryId	Unique identifier for the query to be answered
ok	Specify True if everything is alright (goods are available, etc.) and the bot is ready to proceed with the order. Use False if there are any problems.
errorMessage	Required if ok is False.

Please choose a different color or garment!"). Telegram will display this message to the user.

Returns

On success, True is returned.

answerShippingQuery()

bool TgBot::Api::answerShippingQuery	(	const std::string &	shippingQueryId,
		bool	ok,
		const std::vector< ShippingOption::Ptr > &	shippingOptions = std::vector< ShippingOption::Ptr >(),
		const std::string &	errorMessage = "" ) const

Use this method when you need to tell the user that something is happening on the bot's side.

The status is set for 5 seconds or less (when a message arrives from your bot, Telegram clients clear its typing status).

Example: The ImageBot needs some time to process a request and upload the image. Instead of sending a text message along the lines of “Retrieving image, please wait…”, the bot may use Api::sendChatAction with action = upload_photo. The user will see a “sending photo” status for the bot.

setWebhook()

bool TgBot::Api::setWebhook	(	const std::string &	url,

		const StringArrayPtr &	allowedUpdates = nullptr,
		const std::string &	ipAddress = "",
		bool	dropPendingUpdates = false,
		const std::string &	secretToken = "" ) const

Use this method to specify a URL and receive incoming updates via an outgoing webhook.

Whenever there is an update for the bot, we will send an HTTPS POST request to the specified URL, containing a JSON-serialized Update. In case of an unsuccessful request, we will give up after a reasonable amount of attempts.

If you'd like to make sure that the webhook was set by you, you can specify secret data in the parameter secretToken. If specified, the request will contain a header “X-Telegram-Bot-Api-Secret-Token” with the secret token as content.

Notes

• You will not be able to receive updates using Api::getUpdates for as long as an outgoing webhook is set up.
• To use a self-signed certificate, you need to upload your public key certificate using certificate parameter. Please upload as InputFile, sending a String will not work.
• Ports currently supported for webhooks: 443, 80, 88, 8443.

If you're having any trouble setting up webhooks, please check out this amazing guide to webhooks.

Parameters

url	HTTPS URL to send updates to. Use an empty string to remove webhook integration
certificate	Optional. Upload your public key certificate so that the root certificate in use can be checked. See our self-signed guide for details.
maxConnections	Optional. The maximum allowed number of simultaneous HTTPS connections to the webhook for update delivery, 1-100. Defaults to 40. Use lower values to limit the load on your bot's server, and higher values to increase your bot's throughput.
allowedUpdates	Optional. A JSON-serialized list of the update types you want your bot to receive. For example, specify ["message", "edited_channel_post", "callback_query"] to only receive updates of these types. See Update for a complete list of available update types. Specify an empty list to receive all update types except chat_member, message_reaction, and message_reaction_count (default). If not specified, the previous setting will be used. Please note that this parameter doesn't affect updates created before the call to the setWebhook, so unwanted updates may be received for a short period of time.
ipAddress	Optional. The fixed IP address which will be used to send webhook requests instead of the IP address resolved through DNS
dropPendingUpdates	Optional. Pass True to drop all pending updates
secretToken	Optional. A secret token to be sent in a header “X-Telegram-Bot-Api-Secret-Token” in every webhook request, 1-256 characters. Only characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, _ and - are allowed. The header is useful to ensure that the request comes from a webhook set by you.

Returns

Returns True on success.
