Sending Messages Via Telegram API With Python And Requests Library
Send messages via Telegram API using Python & Requests library. Use `https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/sendMessage` with JSON body `{ "chat_id": chat_id, "text": "Hello World!" }`. Mark up with Markdown by adding `parse_mode": "Markdown"`.
Telegram provides API for sending messages to users as bot. You may send messages via HTTP POST method using any programming language. I use Python and Requests library.
URL address for sending message:
https://api.telegram.org/bot<token_from_botfather>/sendMessage
Body of message:
{
"chat_id": chat_id,
"text": "Hello World!"
}
If you want to markup your message with Markdown - add parse_mode parameter in body of JSON:
{
"chat_id": chat_id,
"text": "Hello World!",
"parse_mode": "Markdown"
}
