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

const std::string & text = "",
bool showAlert = false,

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
callbackQueryIdUnique identifier for the query to be answered
textOptional. Text of the notification. If not specified, nothing will be shown to the user, 0-200 characters
showAlertOptional. If True, an alert will be shown by the client instead of a notification at the top of the chat screen. Defaults to false.

cacheTimeOptional. 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.

nextOffsetOptional. 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.
buttonOptional. A JSON-serialized object describing a button to be shown above inline query results

bool TgBot::Api::sendChatAction ( std::int64_t chatId,
const std::string & action,

const std::string & businessConnectionId = "" ) 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.

We only recommend using this method when a response from the bot will take a noticeable amount of time to arrive.

Parameters
chatIdUnique identifier for the target chat or username of the target channel (in the format @channelusername)
actionType of action to broadcast. Choose one, depending on what the user is about to receive: typing for text messages, upload_photo for photos, record_video or upload_video for videos, record_voice or upload_voice for voice notes, upload_document for general files, choose_sticker for stickers, find_location for location data, record_video_note or upload_video_note for video notes.

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
urlHTTPS URL to send updates to. Use an empty string to remove webhook integration
certificateOptional. Upload your public key certificate so that the root certificate in use can be checked. See our self-signed guide for details.
maxConnectionsOptional. 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.
allowedUpdatesOptional. 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.
ipAddressOptional. The fixed IP address which will be used to send webhook requests instead of the IP address resolved through DNS
dropPendingUpdatesOptional. Pass True to drop all pending updates
secretTokenOptional. 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.
