## Getting started
This API is tested with Python 3.8-3.12 and Pypy 3.
There are two ways to install the library:
* Installation using pip (a Python package manager):
```
$ pip install telegram-bale-bot
```
* Installation from source (requires git):
```
$ pip install git+https://github.com/mahdikiani/telegram-bale-bot.git
```
It is generally recommended to use the first option.
*While the API is production-ready, it is still under development and it has regular updates, do not forget to update it regularly by calling*
```
pip install telegram-bale-bot --upgrade
```
## Writing your first bot
### Prerequisites
It is presumed that you [have obtained an API token with @BotFather](https://core.telegram.org/bots#botfather). We will call this token `TOKEN`.
Furthermore, you have basic knowledge of the Python programming language and more importantly [the Telegram Bot API](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api).
- [Telegram botfather](https://t.me/botfather)
- [Bale botfather](https://ble.ir/botfather)
### A simple echo bot
The TeleBot class (defined in \__init__.py) encapsulates all API calls in a single class. It provides functions such as `send_xyz` (`send_message`, `send_document` etc.) and several ways to listen for incoming messages.
Create a file called `echo_bot.py`.
Then, open the file and create an instance of the TeleBot class.
```python
import telebot
bot = telebot.TeleBot("TOKEN", parse_mode=None) # You can set parse_mode by default. HTML or MARKDOWN
```
*Note: Make sure to actually replace TOKEN with your own API token.*
After that declaration, we need to register some so-called message handlers. Message handlers define filters which a message must pass. If a message passes the filter, the decorated function is called and the incoming message is passed as an argument.
Let's define a message handler which handles incoming `/start` and `/help` commands.
```python
@bot.message_handler(commands=['start', 'help'])
def send_welcome(message):
bot.reply_to(message, "Howdy, how are you doing?")
```
A function which is decorated by a message handler __can have an arbitrary name, however, it must have only one parameter (the message)__.
Let's add another handler:
```python
@bot.message_handler(func=lambda m: True)
def echo_all(message):
bot.reply_to(message, message.text)
```
This one echoes all incoming text messages back to the sender. It uses a lambda function to test a message. If the lambda returns True, the message is handled by the decorated function. Since we want all messages to be handled by this function, we simply always return True.
*Note: all handlers are tested in the order in which they were declared*
We now have a basic bot which replies a static message to "/start" and "/help" commands and which echoes the rest of the sent messages. To start the bot, add the following to our source file:
```python
bot.infinity_polling()
```
Alright, that's it! Our source file now looks like this:
```python
import telebot
bot = telebot.TeleBot("YOUR_BOT_TOKEN")
@bot.message_handler(commands=['start', 'help'])
def send_welcome(message):
bot.reply_to(message, "Howdy, how are you doing?")
@bot.message_handler(func=lambda message: True)
def echo_all(message):
bot.reply_to(message, message.text)
bot.infinity_polling()
```
To start the bot, simply open up a terminal and enter `python echo_bot.py` to run the bot! Test it by sending commands ('/start' and '/help') and arbitrary text messages.
## General API Documentation
### Types
All types are defined in types.py. They are all completely in line with the [Telegram API's definition of the types](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#available-types), except for the Message's `from` field, which is renamed to `from_user` (because `from` is a Python reserved token). Thus, attributes such as `message_id` can be accessed directly with `message.message_id`. Note that `message.chat` can be either an instance of `User` or `GroupChat` (see [How can I distinguish a User and a GroupChat in message.chat?](#how-can-i-distinguish-a-user-and-a-groupchat-in-messagechat)).
The Message object also has a `content_type`attribute, which defines the type of the Message. `content_type` can be one of the following strings:
`text`, `audio`, `document`, `animation`, `game`, `photo`, `sticker`, `video`, `video_note`, `voice`, `location`, `contact`, `venue`, `dice`, `new_chat_members`, `left_chat_member`, `new_chat_title`, `new_chat_photo`, `delete_chat_photo`, `group_chat_created`, `supergroup_chat_created`, `channel_chat_created`, `migrate_to_chat_id`, `migrate_from_chat_id`, `pinned_message`, `invoice`, `successful_payment`, `connected_website`, `poll`, `passport_data`, `proximity_alert_triggered`, `video_chat_scheduled`, `video_chat_started`, `video_chat_ended`, `video_chat_participants_invited`, `web_app_data`, `message_auto_delete_timer_changed`, `forum_topic_created`, `forum_topic_closed`, `forum_topic_reopened`, `forum_topic_edited`, `general_forum_topic_hidden`, `general_forum_topic_unhidden`, `write_access_allowed`, `user_shared`, `chat_shared`, `story`.
You can use some types in one function. Example:
```content_types=["text", "sticker", "pinned_message", "photo", "audio"]```
### Methods
All [API methods](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#available-methods) are located in the TeleBot class. They are renamed to follow common Python naming conventions. E.g. `getMe` is renamed to `get_me` and `sendMessage` to `send_message`.
### General use of the API
Outlined below are some general use cases of the API.
#### Message handlers
A message handler is a function that is decorated with the `message_handler` decorator of a TeleBot instance. Message handlers consist of one or multiple filters.
Each filter must return True for a certain message in order for a message handler to become eligible to handle that message. A message handler is declared in the following way (provided `bot` is an instance of TeleBot):
```python
@bot.message_handler(filters)
def function_name(message):
bot.reply_to(message, "This is a message handler")
```
`function_name` is not bound to any restrictions. Any function name is permitted with message handlers. The function must accept at most one argument, which will be the message that the function must handle.
`filters` is a list of keyword arguments.
A filter is declared in the following manner: `name=argument`. One handler may have multiple filters.
TeleBot supports the following filters:
|name|argument(s)|Condition|
|:---:|---| ---|
|content_types|list of strings (default `['text']`)|`True` if message.content_type is in the list of strings.|
|regexp|a regular expression as a string|`True` if `re.search(regexp_arg)` returns `True` and `message.content_type == 'text'` (See [Python Regular Expressions](https://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html))|
|commands|list of strings|`True` if `message.content_type == 'text'` and `message.text` starts with a command that is in the list of strings.|
|chat_types|list of chat types|`True` if `message.chat.type` in your filter|
|func|a function (lambda or function reference)|`True` if the lambda or function reference returns `True`|
Here are some examples of using the filters and message handlers:
```python
import telebot
bot = telebot.TeleBot("TOKEN")
# Handles all text messages that contains the commands '/start' or '/help'.
@bot.message_handler(commands=['start', 'help'])
def handle_start_help(message):
pass
# Handles all sent documents and audio files
@bot.message_handler(content_types=['document', 'audio'])
def handle_docs_audio(message):
pass
# Handles all text messages that match the regular expression
@bot.message_handler(regexp="SOME_REGEXP")
def handle_message(message):
pass
# Handles all messages for which the lambda returns True
@bot.message_handler(func=lambda message: message.document.mime_type == 'text/plain', content_types=['document'])
def handle_text_doc(message):
pass
# Which could also be defined as:
def test_message(message):
return message.document.mime_type == 'text/plain'
@bot.message_handler(func=test_message, content_types=['document'])
def handle_text_doc(message):
pass
# Handlers can be stacked to create a function which will be called if either message_handler is eligible
# This handler will be called if the message starts with '/hello' OR is some emoji
@bot.message_handler(commands=['hello'])
@bot.message_handler(func=lambda msg: msg.text.encode("utf-8") == SOME_FANCY_EMOJI)
def send_something(message):
pass
```
**Important: all handlers are tested in the order in which they were declared**
#### Edited Message handler
Handle edited messages
`@bot.edited_message_handler(filters) # <- passes a Message type object to your function`
#### Channel Post handler
Handle channel post messages
`@bot.channel_post_handler(filters) # <- passes a Message type object to your function`
#### Edited Channel Post handler
Handle edited channel post messages
`@bot.edited_channel_post_handler(filters) # <- passes a Message type object to your function`
#### Callback Query Handler
Handle callback queries
```python
@bot.callback_query_handler(func=lambda call: True)
def test_callback(call): # <- passes a CallbackQuery type object to your function
logger.info(call)
```
#### Shipping Query Handler
Handle shipping queries
`@bot.shipping_query_handler() # <- passes a ShippingQuery type object to your function`
#### Pre Checkout Query Handler
Handle pre checkout queries
`@bot.pre_checkout_query_handler() # <- passes a PreCheckoutQuery type object to your function`
#### Poll Handler
Handle poll updates
`@bot.poll_handler() # <- passes a Poll type object to your function`
#### Poll Answer Handler
Handle poll answers
`@bot.poll_answer_handler() # <- passes a PollAnswer type object to your function`
#### My Chat Member Handler
Handle updates of a the bot's member status in a chat
`@bot.my_chat_member_handler() # <- passes a ChatMemberUpdated type object to your function`
#### Chat Member Handler
Handle updates of a chat member's status in a chat
`@bot.chat_member_handler() # <- passes a ChatMemberUpdated type object to your function`
*Note: "chat_member" updates are not requested by default. If you want to allow all update types, set `allowed_updates` in `bot.polling()` / `bot.infinity_polling()` to `util.update_types`*
#### Chat Join Request Handler
Handle chat join requests using:
`@bot.chat_join_request_handler() # <- passes ChatInviteLink type object to your function`
### Inline Mode
More information about [Inline mode](https://core.telegram.org/bots/inline).
#### Inline handler
Now, you can use inline_handler to get inline queries in telebot.
```python
@bot.inline_handler(lambda query: query.query == 'text')
def query_text(inline_query):
# Query message is text
```
#### Chosen Inline handler
Use chosen_inline_handler to get chosen_inline_result in telebot. Don't forget to add the /setinlinefeedback
command for @Botfather.
More information : [collecting-feedback](https://core.telegram.org/bots/inline#collecting-feedback)
```python
@bot.chosen_inline_handler(func=lambda chosen_inline_result: True)
def test_chosen(chosen_inline_result):
# Process all chosen_inline_result.
```
#### Answer Inline Query
```python
@bot.inline_handler(lambda query: query.query == 'text')
def query_text(inline_query):
try:
r = types.InlineQueryResultArticle('1', 'Result', types.InputTextMessageContent('Result message.'))
r2 = types.InlineQueryResultArticle('2', 'Result2', types.InputTextMessageContent('Result message2.'))
bot.answer_inline_query(inline_query.id, [r, r2])
except Exception as e:
print(e)
```
### Additional API features
#### Middleware Handlers
A middleware handler is a function that allows you to modify requests or the bot context as they pass through the
Telegram to the bot. You can imagine middleware as a chain of logic connection handled before any other handlers are
executed. Middleware processing is disabled by default, enable it by setting `apihelper.ENABLE_MIDDLEWARE = True`.
```python
apihelper.ENABLE_MIDDLEWARE = True
@bot.middleware_handler(update_types=['message'])
def modify_message(bot_instance, message):
# modifying the message before it reaches any other handler
message.another_text = message.text + ':changed'
@bot.message_handler(commands=['start'])
def start(message):
# the message is already modified when it reaches message handler
assert message.another_text == message.text + ':changed'
```
There are other examples using middleware handler in the [examples/middleware](examples/middleware) directory.
#### Class-based middlewares
There are class-based middlewares.
Basic class-based middleware looks like this:
```python
class Middleware(BaseMiddleware):
def __init__(self):
self.update_types = ['message']
def pre_process(self, message, data):
data['foo'] = 'Hello' # just for example
# we edited the data. now, this data is passed to handler.
# return SkipHandler() -> this will skip handler
# return CancelUpdate() -> this will cancel update
def post_process(self, message, data, exception=None):
print(data['foo'])
if exception: # check for exception
print(exception)
```
Class-based middleware should have two functions: post and pre process.
So, as you can see, class-based middlewares work before and after handler execution.
For more, check out in [examples](https://github.com/eternnoir/pyTelegramBotAPI/tree/master/examples/middleware/class_based)
#### Custom filters
Also, you can use built-in custom filters. Or, you can create your own filter.
[Example of custom filter](https://github.com/eternnoir/pyTelegramBotAPI/blob/master/examples/custom_filters/general_custom_filters.py)
Also, we have examples on them. Check this links:
You can check some built-in filters in source [code](https://github.com/eternnoir/pyTelegramBotAPI/blob/master/telebot/custom_filters.py)
Example of [filtering by id](https://github.com/eternnoir/pyTelegramBotAPI/blob/master/examples/custom_filters/id_filter_example.py)
Example of [filtering by text](https://github.com/eternnoir/pyTelegramBotAPI/blob/master/examples/custom_filters/text_filter_example.py)
If you want to add some built-in filter, you are welcome to add it in custom_filters.py file.
Here is example of creating filter-class:
```python
class IsAdmin(telebot.custom_filters.SimpleCustomFilter):
# Class will check whether the user is admin or creator in group or not
key='is_chat_admin'
@staticmethod
def check(message: telebot.types.Message):
return bot.get_chat_member(message.chat.id,message.from_user.id).status in ['administrator','creator']
# To register filter, you need to use method add_custom_filter.
bot.add_custom_filter(IsAdmin())
# Now, you can use it in handler.
@bot.message_handler(is_chat_admin=True)
def admin_of_group(message):
bot.send_message(message.chat.id, 'You are admin of this group!')
```
#### TeleBot
```python
import telebot
TOKEN = '<token_string>'
tb = telebot.TeleBot(TOKEN) #create a new Telegram Bot object
# Upon calling this function, TeleBot starts polling the Telegram servers for new messages.
# - interval: int (default 0) - The interval between polling requests
# - timeout: integer (default 20) - Timeout in seconds for long polling.
# - allowed_updates: List of Strings (default None) - List of update types to request
tb.infinity_polling(interval=0, timeout=20)
# getMe
user = tb.get_me()
# setWebhook
tb.set_webhook(url="http://example.com", certificate=open('mycert.pem'))
# unset webhook
tb.remove_webhook()
# getUpdates
updates = tb.get_updates()
# or
updates = tb.get_updates(1234,100,20) #get_Updates(offset, limit, timeout):
# sendMessage
tb.send_message(chat_id, text)
# editMessageText
tb.edit_message_text(new_text, chat_id, message_id)
# forwardMessage
tb.forward_message(to_chat_id, from_chat_id, message_id)
# All send_xyz functions which can take a file as an argument, can also take a file_id instead of a file.
# sendPhoto
photo = open('/tmp/photo.png', 'rb')
tb.send_photo(chat_id, photo)
tb.send_photo(chat_id, "FILEID")
# sendAudio
audio = open('/tmp/audio.mp3', 'rb')
tb.send_audio(chat_id, audio)
tb.send_audio(chat_id, "FILEID")
## sendAudio with duration, performer and title.
tb.send_audio(CHAT_ID, file_data, 1, 'eternnoir', 'pyTelegram')
# sendVoice
voice = open('/tmp/voice.ogg', 'rb')
tb.send_voice(chat_id, voice)
tb.send_voice(chat_id, "FILEID")
# sendDocument
doc = open('/tmp/file.txt', 'rb')
tb.send_document(chat_id, doc)
tb.send_document(chat_id, "FILEID")
# sendSticker
sti = open('/tmp/sti.webp', 'rb')
tb.send_sticker(chat_id, sti)
tb.send_sticker(chat_id, "FILEID")
# sendVideo
video = open('/tmp/video.mp4', 'rb')
tb.send_video(chat_id, video)
tb.send_video(chat_id, "FILEID")
# sendVideoNote
videonote = open('/tmp/videonote.mp4', 'rb')
tb.send_video_note(chat_id, videonote)
tb.send_video_note(chat_id, "FILEID")
# sendLocation
tb.send_location(chat_id, lat, lon)
# sendChatAction
# action_string can be one of the following strings: 'typing', 'upload_photo', 'record_video', 'upload_video',
# 'record_audio', 'upload_audio', 'upload_document' or 'find_location'.
tb.send_chat_action(chat_id, action_string)
# getFile
# Downloading a file is straightforward
# Returns a File object
import requests
file_info = tb.get_file(file_id)
file = requests.get('https://api.telegram.org/file/bot{0}/{1}'.format(API_TOKEN, file_info.file_path))
```
#### Reply markup
All `send_xyz` functions of TeleBot take an optional `reply_markup` argument. This argument must be an instance of `ReplyKeyboardMarkup`, `ReplyKeyboardRemove` or `ForceReply`, which are defined in types.py.
```python
from telebot import types
# Using the ReplyKeyboardMarkup class
# It's constructor can take the following optional arguments:
# - resize_keyboard: True/False (default False)
# - one_time_keyboard: True/False (default False)
# - selective: True/False (default False)
# - row_width: integer (default 3)
# row_width is used in combination with the add() function.
# It defines how many buttons are fit on each row before continuing on the next row.
markup = types.ReplyKeyboardMarkup(row_width=2)
itembtn1 = types.KeyboardButton('a')
itembtn2 = types.KeyboardButton('v')
itembtn3 = types.KeyboardButton('d')
markup.add(itembtn1, itembtn2, itembtn3)
tb.send_message(chat_id, "Choose one letter:", reply_markup=markup)
# or add KeyboardButton one row at a time:
markup = types.ReplyKeyboardMarkup()
itembtna = types.KeyboardButton('a')
itembtnv = types.KeyboardButton('v')
itembtnc = types.KeyboardButton('c')
itembtnd = types.KeyboardButton('d')
itembtne = types.KeyboardButton('e')
markup.row(itembtna, itembtnv)
markup.row(itembtnc, itembtnd, itembtne)
tb.send_message(chat_id, "Choose one letter:", reply_markup=markup)
```
The last example yields this result:
![ReplyKeyboardMarkup](https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2933/32418726704_9ef76093cf_o_d.jpg "ReplyKeyboardMarkup")
```python
# ReplyKeyboardRemove: hides a previously sent ReplyKeyboardMarkup
# Takes an optional selective argument (True/False, default False)
markup = types.ReplyKeyboardRemove(selective=False)
tb.send_message(chat_id, message, reply_markup=markup)
```
```python
# ForceReply: forces a user to reply to a message
# Takes an optional selective argument (True/False, default False)
markup = types.ForceReply(selective=False)
tb.send_message(chat_id, "Send me another word:", reply_markup=markup)
```
ForceReply:
![ForceReply](https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3809/32418726814_d1baec0fc2_o_d.jpg "ForceReply")
### Working with entities
This object represents one special entity in a text message. For example, hashtags, usernames, URLs, etc.
Attributes:
* `type`
* `url`
* `offset`
* `length`
* `user`
**Here's an Example:**`message.entities[num].<attribute>`<br>
Here `num` is the entity number or order of entity in a reply, for if incase there are multiple entities in the reply/message.<br>
`message.entities` returns a list of entities object. <br>
`message.entities[0].type` would give the type of the first entity<br>
Refer [Bot Api](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#messageentity) for extra details
## Advanced use of the API
### Using local Bot API Sever
Since version 5.0 of the Bot API, you have the possibility to run your own [Local Bot API Server](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#using-a-local-bot-api-server).
pyTelegramBotAPI also supports this feature.
```python
from telebot import apihelper
apihelper.API_URL = "http://localhost:4200/bot{0}/{1}"
```
**Important: Like described [here](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#logout), you have to log out your bot from the Telegram server before switching to your local API server. in pyTelegramBotAPI use `bot.log_out()`**
*Note: 4200 is an example port*
### Asynchronous TeleBot
New: There is an asynchronous implementation of telebot.
To enable this behaviour, create an instance of AsyncTeleBot instead of TeleBot.
```python
tb = telebot.AsyncTeleBot("TOKEN")
```
Now, every function that calls the Telegram API is executed in a separate asynchronous task.
Using AsyncTeleBot allows you to do the following:
```python
import telebot
tb = telebot.AsyncTeleBot("TOKEN")
@tb.message_handler(commands=['start'])
async def start_message(message):
await bot.send_message(message.chat.id, 'Hello!')
```
See more in [examples](https://github.com/eternnoir/pyTelegramBotAPI/tree/master/examples/asynchronous_telebot)
### Sending large text messages
Sometimes you must send messages that exceed 5000 characters. The Telegram API can not handle that many characters in one request, so we need to split the message in multiples. Here is how to do that using the API:
```python
from telebot import util
large_text = open("large_text.txt", "rb").read()
# Split the text each 3000 characters.
# split_string returns a list with the splitted text.
splitted_text = util.split_string(large_text, 3000)
for text in splitted_text:
tb.send_message(chat_id, text)
```
Or you can use the new `smart_split` function to get more meaningful substrings:
```python
from telebot import util
large_text = open("large_text.txt", "rb").read()
# Splits one string into multiple strings, with a maximum amount of `chars_per_string` (max. 4096)
# Splits by last '\n', '. ' or ' ' in exactly this priority.
# smart_split returns a list with the splitted text.
splitted_text = util.smart_split(large_text, chars_per_string=3000)
for text in splitted_text:
tb.send_message(chat_id, text)
```
### Controlling the amount of Threads used by TeleBot
The TeleBot constructor takes the following optional arguments:
- threaded: True/False (default True). A flag to indicate whether
TeleBot should execute message handlers on it's polling Thread.
### The listener mechanism
As an alternative to the message handlers, one can also register a function as a listener to TeleBot.
NOTICE: handlers won't disappear! Your message will be processed both by handlers and listeners. Also, it's impossible to predict which will work at first because of threading. If you use threaded=False, custom listeners will work earlier, after them handlers will be called.
Example:
```python
def handle_messages(messages):
for message in messages:
# Do something with the message
bot.reply_to(message, 'Hi')
bot.set_update_listener(handle_messages)
bot.infinity_polling()
```
### Using web hooks
When using webhooks telegram sends one Update per call, for processing it you should call process_new_messages([update.message]) when you recieve it.
There are some examples using webhooks in the [examples/webhook_examples](examples/webhook_examples) directory.
### Logging
You can use the Telebot module logger to log debug info about Telebot. Use `telebot.logger` to get the logger of the TeleBot module.
It is possible to add custom logging Handlers to the logger. Refer to the [Python logging module page](https://docs.python.org/2/library/logging.html) for more info.
```python
import logging
logger = telebot.logger
telebot.logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) # Outputs debug messages to console.
```
### Proxy
For sync:
You can use proxy for request. `apihelper.proxy` object will use by call `requests` proxies argument.
```python
from telebot import apihelper
apihelper.proxy = {'http':'http://127.0.0.1:3128'}
```
If you want to use socket5 proxy you need install dependency `pip install requests[socks]` and make sure, that you have the latest version of `gunicorn`, `PySocks`, `pyTelegramBotAPI`, `requests` and `urllib3`.
```python
apihelper.proxy = {'https':'socks5://userproxy:password@proxy_address:port'}
```
For async:
```python
from telebot import asyncio_helper
asyncio_helper.proxy = 'http://127.0.0.1:3128' #url
```
### Testing
You can disable or change the interaction with real Telegram server by using
```python
apihelper.CUSTOM_REQUEST_SENDER = your_handler
```
parameter. You can pass there your own function that will be called instead of _requests.request_.
For example:
```python
def custom_sender(method, url, **kwargs):
print("custom_sender. method: {}, url: {}, params: {}".format(method, url, kwargs.get("params")))
result = util.CustomRequestResponse('{"ok":true,"result":{"message_id": 1, "date": 1, "chat": {"id": 1, "type": "private"}}}')
return result
```
Then you can use API and proceed requests in your handler code.
```python
apihelper.CUSTOM_REQUEST_SENDER = custom_sender
tb = TeleBot("test")
res = tb.send_message(123, "Test")
```
Result will be:
`custom_sender. method: post, url: https://api.telegram.org/botololo/sendMessage, params: {'chat_id': '123', 'text': 'Test'}`
## API conformance limitations

## AsyncTeleBot
### Asynchronous version of telebot
We have a fully asynchronous version of TeleBot.
This class is not controlled by threads. Asyncio tasks are created to execute all the stuff.
### EchoBot
Echo Bot example on AsyncTeleBot:
```python
# This is a simple echo bot using the decorator mechanism.
# It echoes any incoming text messages.
from telebot.async_telebot import AsyncTeleBot
import asyncio
bot = AsyncTeleBot('TOKEN')
# Handle '/start' and '/help'
@bot.message_handler(commands=['help', 'start'])
async def send_welcome(message):
await bot.reply_to(message, """\
Hi there, I am EchoBot.
I am here to echo your kind words back to you. Just say anything nice and I'll say the exact same thing to you!\
""")
# Handle all other messages with content_type 'text' (content_types defaults to ['text'])
@bot.message_handler(func=lambda message: True)
async def echo_message(message):
await bot.reply_to(message, message.text)
asyncio.run(bot.polling())
```
As you can see here, keywords are await and async.
### Why should I use async?
Asynchronous tasks depend on processor performance. Many asynchronous tasks can run parallelly, while thread tasks will block each other.
### Differences in AsyncTeleBot
AsyncTeleBot is asynchronous. It uses aiohttp instead of requests module.
### Examples
See more examples in our [examples](https://github.com/eternnoir/pyTelegramBotAPI/tree/master/examples/asynchronous_telebot) folder
## F.A.Q.
### How can I distinguish a User and a GroupChat in message.chat?
Telegram Bot API support new type Chat for message.chat.
- Check the ```type``` attribute in ```Chat``` object:
```python
if message.chat.type == "private":
# private chat message
if message.chat.type == "group":
# group chat message
if message.chat.type == "supergroup":
# supergroup chat message
if message.chat.type == "channel":
# channel message
```
### How can I handle reocurring ConnectionResetErrors?
Bot instances that were idle for a long time might be rejected by the server when sending a message due to a timeout of the last used session. Add `apihelper.SESSION_TIME_TO_LIVE = 5 * 60` to your initialisation to force recreation after 5 minutes without any activity.

We will call this token `TOKEN`.\nFurthermore, you have basic knowledge of the Python programming language and more importantly [the Telegram Bot API](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api).\n- [Telegram botfather](https://t.me/botfather)\n- [Bale botfather](https://ble.ir/botfather)\n\n### A simple echo bot\n\nThe TeleBot class (defined in \\__init__.py) encapsulates all API calls in a single class. It provides functions such as `send_xyz` (`send_message`, `send_document` etc.) and several ways to listen for incoming messages.\n\nCreate a file called `echo_bot.py`.\nThen, open the file and create an instance of the TeleBot class.\n```python\nimport telebot\n\nbot = telebot.TeleBot(\"TOKEN\", parse_mode=None) # You can set parse_mode by default. HTML or MARKDOWN\n```\n*Note: Make sure to actually replace TOKEN with your own API token.*\n\nAfter that declaration, we need to register some so-called message handlers. Message handlers define filters which a message must pass. If a message passes the filter, the decorated function is called and the incoming message is passed as an argument.\n\nLet's define a message handler which handles incoming `/start` and `/help` commands.\n```python\n@bot.message_handler(commands=['start', 'help'])\ndef send_welcome(message):\n\tbot.reply_to(message, \"Howdy, how are you doing?\")\n```\nA function which is decorated by a message handler __can have an arbitrary name, however, it must have only one parameter (the message)__.\n\nLet's add another handler:\n```python\n@bot.message_handler(func=lambda m: True)\ndef echo_all(message):\n\tbot.reply_to(message, message.text)\n```\nThis one echoes all incoming text messages back to the sender. It uses a lambda function to test a message. If the lambda returns True, the message is handled by the decorated function. Since we want all messages to be handled by this function, we simply always return True.\n\n*Note: all handlers are tested in the order in which they were declared*\n\nWe now have a basic bot which replies a static message to \"/start\" and \"/help\" commands and which echoes the rest of the sent messages. To start the bot, add the following to our source file:\n```python\nbot.infinity_polling()\n```\nAlright, that's it! Our source file now looks like this:\n```python\nimport telebot\n\nbot = telebot.TeleBot(\"YOUR_BOT_TOKEN\")\n\n@bot.message_handler(commands=['start', 'help'])\ndef send_welcome(message):\n\tbot.reply_to(message, \"Howdy, how are you doing?\")\n\n@bot.message_handler(func=lambda message: True)\ndef echo_all(message):\n\tbot.reply_to(message, message.text)\n\nbot.infinity_polling()\n```\nTo start the bot, simply open up a terminal and enter `python echo_bot.py` to run the bot! Test it by sending commands ('/start' and '/help') and arbitrary text messages.\n\n## General API Documentation\n\n### Types\n\nAll types are defined in types.py. They are all completely in line with the [Telegram API's definition of the types](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#available-types), except for the Message's `from` field, which is renamed to `from_user` (because `from` is a Python reserved token). Thus, attributes such as `message_id` can be accessed directly with `message.message_id`. Note that `message.chat` can be either an instance of `User` or `GroupChat` (see [How can I distinguish a User and a GroupChat in message.chat?](#how-can-i-distinguish-a-user-and-a-groupchat-in-messagechat)).\n\nThe Message object also has a `content_type`attribute, which defines the type of the Message. `content_type` can be one of the following strings:\n`text`, `audio`, `document`, `animation`, `game`, `photo`, `sticker`, `video`, `video_note`, `voice`, `location`, `contact`, `venue`, `dice`, `new_chat_members`, `left_chat_member`, `new_chat_title`, `new_chat_photo`, `delete_chat_photo`, `group_chat_created`, `supergroup_chat_created`, `channel_chat_created`, `migrate_to_chat_id`, `migrate_from_chat_id`, `pinned_message`, `invoice`, `successful_payment`, `connected_website`, `poll`, `passport_data`, `proximity_alert_triggered`, `video_chat_scheduled`, `video_chat_started`, `video_chat_ended`, `video_chat_participants_invited`, `web_app_data`, `message_auto_delete_timer_changed`, `forum_topic_created`, `forum_topic_closed`, `forum_topic_reopened`, `forum_topic_edited`, `general_forum_topic_hidden`, `general_forum_topic_unhidden`, `write_access_allowed`, `user_shared`, `chat_shared`, `story`.\n\nYou can use some types in one function. Example:\n\n```content_types=[\"text\", \"sticker\", \"pinned_message\", \"photo\", \"audio\"]```\n\n### Methods\n\nAll [API methods](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#available-methods) are located in the TeleBot class. They are renamed to follow common Python naming conventions. E.g. `getMe` is renamed to `get_me` and `sendMessage` to `send_message`.\n\n### General use of the API\n\nOutlined below are some general use cases of the API.\n\n#### Message handlers\nA message handler is a function that is decorated with the `message_handler` decorator of a TeleBot instance. Message handlers consist of one or multiple filters.\nEach filter must return True for a certain message in order for a message handler to become eligible to handle that message. A message handler is declared in the following way (provided `bot` is an instance of TeleBot):\n```python\n@bot.message_handler(filters)\ndef function_name(message):\n\tbot.reply_to(message, \"This is a message handler\")\n```\n`function_name` is not bound to any restrictions. Any function name is permitted with message handlers. The function must accept at most one argument, which will be the message that the function must handle.\n`filters` is a list of keyword arguments.\nA filter is declared in the following manner: `name=argument`. One handler may have multiple filters.\nTeleBot supports the following filters:\n\n|name|argument(s)|Condition|\n|:---:|---| ---|\n|content_types|list of strings (default `['text']`)|`True` if message.content_type is in the list of strings.|\n|regexp|a regular expression as a string|`True` if `re.search(regexp_arg)` returns `True` and `message.content_type == 'text'` (See [Python Regular Expressions](https://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html))|\n|commands|list of strings|`True` if `message.content_type == 'text'` and `message.text` starts with a command that is in the list of strings.|\n|chat_types|list of chat types|`True` if `message.chat.type` in your filter|\n|func|a function (lambda or function reference)|`True` if the lambda or function reference returns `True`|\n\t\nHere are some examples of using the filters and message handlers:\n\n```python\nimport telebot\nbot = telebot.TeleBot(\"TOKEN\")\n\n# Handles all text messages that contains the commands '/start' or '/help'.\n@bot.message_handler(commands=['start', 'help'])\ndef handle_start_help(message):\n\tpass\n\n# Handles all sent documents and audio files\n@bot.message_handler(content_types=['document', 'audio'])\ndef handle_docs_audio(message):\n\tpass\n\n# Handles all text messages that match the regular expression\n@bot.message_handler(regexp=\"SOME_REGEXP\")\ndef handle_message(message):\n\tpass\n\n# Handles all messages for which the lambda returns True\n@bot.message_handler(func=lambda message: message.document.mime_type == 'text/plain', content_types=['document'])\ndef handle_text_doc(message):\n\tpass\n\n# Which could also be defined as:\ndef test_message(message):\n\treturn message.document.mime_type == 'text/plain'\n\n@bot.message_handler(func=test_message, content_types=['document'])\ndef handle_text_doc(message):\n\tpass\n\n# Handlers can be stacked to create a function which will be called if either message_handler is eligible\n# This handler will be called if the message starts with '/hello' OR is some emoji\n@bot.message_handler(commands=['hello'])\n@bot.message_handler(func=lambda msg: msg.text.encode(\"utf-8\") == SOME_FANCY_EMOJI)\ndef send_something(message):\n pass\n```\n**Important: all handlers are tested in the order in which they were declared**\n\n#### Edited Message handler\nHandle edited messages\n`@bot.edited_message_handler(filters) # <- passes a Message type object to your function`\n\n#### Channel Post handler\nHandle channel post messages\n`@bot.channel_post_handler(filters) # <- passes a Message type object to your function`\n\n#### Edited Channel Post handler\nHandle edited channel post messages\n`@bot.edited_channel_post_handler(filters) # <- passes a Message type object to your function`\n\n#### Callback Query Handler\nHandle callback queries\n```python\n@bot.callback_query_handler(func=lambda call: True)\ndef test_callback(call): # <- passes a CallbackQuery type object to your function\n logger.info(call)\n```\n\n#### Shipping Query Handler\nHandle shipping queries\n`@bot.shipping_query_handler() # <- passes a ShippingQuery type object to your function`\n\n#### Pre Checkout Query Handler\nHandle pre checkout queries\n`@bot.pre_checkout_query_handler() # <- passes a PreCheckoutQuery type object to your function`\n\n#### Poll Handler\nHandle poll updates\n`@bot.poll_handler() # <- passes a Poll type object to your function`\n\n#### Poll Answer Handler\nHandle poll answers\n`@bot.poll_answer_handler() # <- passes a PollAnswer type object to your function`\n\n#### My Chat Member Handler\nHandle updates of a the bot's member status in a chat\n`@bot.my_chat_member_handler() # <- passes a ChatMemberUpdated type object to your function`\n\n#### Chat Member Handler\nHandle updates of a chat member's status in a chat\n`@bot.chat_member_handler() # <- passes a ChatMemberUpdated type object to your function`\n*Note: \"chat_member\" updates are not requested by default. If you want to allow all update types, set `allowed_updates` in `bot.polling()` / `bot.infinity_polling()` to `util.update_types`*\n\n#### Chat Join Request Handler\t\nHandle chat join requests using:\n`@bot.chat_join_request_handler() # <- passes ChatInviteLink type object to your function`\n\n### Inline Mode\n\nMore information about [Inline mode](https://core.telegram.org/bots/inline).\n\n#### Inline handler\n\nNow, you can use inline_handler to get inline queries in telebot.\n\n```python\n\n@bot.inline_handler(lambda query: query.query == 'text')\ndef query_text(inline_query):\n # Query message is text\n```\n\n#### Chosen Inline handler\n\nUse chosen_inline_handler to get chosen_inline_result in telebot. Don't forget to add the /setinlinefeedback\ncommand for @Botfather.\n\nMore information : [collecting-feedback](https://core.telegram.org/bots/inline#collecting-feedback)\n\n```python\n@bot.chosen_inline_handler(func=lambda chosen_inline_result: True)\ndef test_chosen(chosen_inline_result):\n # Process all chosen_inline_result.\n```\n\n#### Answer Inline Query\n\n```python\n@bot.inline_handler(lambda query: query.query == 'text')\ndef query_text(inline_query):\n try:\n r = types.InlineQueryResultArticle('1', 'Result', types.InputTextMessageContent('Result message.'))\n r2 = types.InlineQueryResultArticle('2', 'Result2', types.InputTextMessageContent('Result message2.'))\n bot.answer_inline_query(inline_query.id, [r, r2])\n except Exception as e:\n print(e)\n\n```\n\n### Additional API features\n\n#### Middleware Handlers\n\nA middleware handler is a function that allows you to modify requests or the bot context as they pass through the \nTelegram to the bot. You can imagine middleware as a chain of logic connection handled before any other handlers are\nexecuted. Middleware processing is disabled by default, enable it by setting `apihelper.ENABLE_MIDDLEWARE = True`. \n\n```python\napihelper.ENABLE_MIDDLEWARE = True\n\n@bot.middleware_handler(update_types=['message'])\ndef modify_message(bot_instance, message):\n # modifying the message before it reaches any other handler \n message.another_text = message.text + ':changed'\n\n@bot.message_handler(commands=['start'])\ndef start(message):\n # the message is already modified when it reaches message handler\n assert message.another_text == message.text + ':changed'\n```\nThere are other examples using middleware handler in the [examples/middleware](examples/middleware) directory.\n\n#### Class-based middlewares\nThere are class-based middlewares. \nBasic class-based middleware looks like this:\n```python\nclass Middleware(BaseMiddleware):\n def __init__(self):\n self.update_types = ['message']\n def pre_process(self, message, data):\n data['foo'] = 'Hello' # just for example\n # we edited the data. now, this data is passed to handler.\n # return SkipHandler() -> this will skip handler\n # return CancelUpdate() -> this will cancel update\n def post_process(self, message, data, exception=None):\n print(data['foo'])\n if exception: # check for exception\n print(exception)\n```\nClass-based middleware should have two functions: post and pre process.\nSo, as you can see, class-based middlewares work before and after handler execution.\nFor more, check out in [examples](https://github.com/eternnoir/pyTelegramBotAPI/tree/master/examples/middleware/class_based)\t\n\t\n#### Custom filters\nAlso, you can use built-in custom filters. Or, you can create your own filter.\t\n\n[Example of custom filter](https://github.com/eternnoir/pyTelegramBotAPI/blob/master/examples/custom_filters/general_custom_filters.py)\n\t\nAlso, we have examples on them. Check this links:\n\t\nYou can check some built-in filters in source [code](https://github.com/eternnoir/pyTelegramBotAPI/blob/master/telebot/custom_filters.py)\n\t\nExample of [filtering by id](https://github.com/eternnoir/pyTelegramBotAPI/blob/master/examples/custom_filters/id_filter_example.py)\n\t\nExample of [filtering by text](https://github.com/eternnoir/pyTelegramBotAPI/blob/master/examples/custom_filters/text_filter_example.py)\n\t\nIf you want to add some built-in filter, you are welcome to add it in custom_filters.py file.\n\t\nHere is example of creating filter-class:\n\t\n```python\nclass IsAdmin(telebot.custom_filters.SimpleCustomFilter):\n # Class will check whether the user is admin or creator in group or not\n key='is_chat_admin'\n @staticmethod\n def check(message: telebot.types.Message):\n return bot.get_chat_member(message.chat.id,message.from_user.id).status in ['administrator','creator']\n\t\n# To register filter, you need to use method add_custom_filter.\nbot.add_custom_filter(IsAdmin())\n\t\n# Now, you can use it in handler.\n@bot.message_handler(is_chat_admin=True)\ndef admin_of_group(message):\n\tbot.send_message(message.chat.id, 'You are admin of this group!')\n\n```\n\t\n\n#### TeleBot\n```python\nimport telebot\n\nTOKEN = '<token_string>'\ntb = telebot.TeleBot(TOKEN)\t#create a new Telegram Bot object\n\n# Upon calling this function, TeleBot starts polling the Telegram servers for new messages.\n# - interval: int (default 0) - The interval between polling requests\n# - timeout: integer (default 20) - Timeout in seconds for long polling.\n# - allowed_updates: List of Strings (default None) - List of update types to request \ntb.infinity_polling(interval=0, timeout=20)\n\n# getMe\nuser = tb.get_me()\n\n# setWebhook\ntb.set_webhook(url=\"http://example.com\", certificate=open('mycert.pem'))\n# unset webhook\ntb.remove_webhook()\n\n# getUpdates\nupdates = tb.get_updates()\n# or\nupdates = tb.get_updates(1234,100,20) #get_Updates(offset, limit, timeout):\n\n# sendMessage\ntb.send_message(chat_id, text)\n\n# editMessageText\ntb.edit_message_text(new_text, chat_id, message_id)\n\n# forwardMessage\ntb.forward_message(to_chat_id, from_chat_id, message_id)\n\n# All send_xyz functions which can take a file as an argument, can also take a file_id instead of a file.\n# sendPhoto\nphoto = open('/tmp/photo.png', 'rb')\ntb.send_photo(chat_id, photo)\ntb.send_photo(chat_id, \"FILEID\")\n\n# sendAudio\naudio = open('/tmp/audio.mp3', 'rb')\ntb.send_audio(chat_id, audio)\ntb.send_audio(chat_id, \"FILEID\")\n\n## sendAudio with duration, performer and title.\ntb.send_audio(CHAT_ID, file_data, 1, 'eternnoir', 'pyTelegram')\n\n# sendVoice\nvoice = open('/tmp/voice.ogg', 'rb')\ntb.send_voice(chat_id, voice)\ntb.send_voice(chat_id, \"FILEID\")\n\n# sendDocument\ndoc = open('/tmp/file.txt', 'rb')\ntb.send_document(chat_id, doc)\ntb.send_document(chat_id, \"FILEID\")\n\n# sendSticker\nsti = open('/tmp/sti.webp', 'rb')\ntb.send_sticker(chat_id, sti)\ntb.send_sticker(chat_id, \"FILEID\")\n\n# sendVideo\nvideo = open('/tmp/video.mp4', 'rb')\ntb.send_video(chat_id, video)\ntb.send_video(chat_id, \"FILEID\")\n\n# sendVideoNote\nvideonote = open('/tmp/videonote.mp4', 'rb')\ntb.send_video_note(chat_id, videonote)\ntb.send_video_note(chat_id, \"FILEID\")\n\n# sendLocation\ntb.send_location(chat_id, lat, lon)\n\n# sendChatAction\n# action_string can be one of the following strings: 'typing', 'upload_photo', 'record_video', 'upload_video',\n# 'record_audio', 'upload_audio', 'upload_document' or 'find_location'.\ntb.send_chat_action(chat_id, action_string)\n\n# getFile\n# Downloading a file is straightforward\n# Returns a File object\nimport requests\nfile_info = tb.get_file(file_id)\n\nfile = requests.get('https://api.telegram.org/file/bot{0}/{1}'.format(API_TOKEN, file_info.file_path))\n\n\n```\n#### Reply markup\nAll `send_xyz` functions of TeleBot take an optional `reply_markup` argument. This argument must be an instance of `ReplyKeyboardMarkup`, `ReplyKeyboardRemove` or `ForceReply`, which are defined in types.py.\n\n```python\nfrom telebot import types\n\n# Using the ReplyKeyboardMarkup class\n# It's constructor can take the following optional arguments:\n# - resize_keyboard: True/False (default False)\n# - one_time_keyboard: True/False (default False)\n# - selective: True/False (default False)\n# - row_width: integer (default 3)\n# row_width is used in combination with the add() function.\n# It defines how many buttons are fit on each row before continuing on the next row.\nmarkup = types.ReplyKeyboardMarkup(row_width=2)\nitembtn1 = types.KeyboardButton('a')\nitembtn2 = types.KeyboardButton('v')\nitembtn3 = types.KeyboardButton('d')\nmarkup.add(itembtn1, itembtn2, itembtn3)\ntb.send_message(chat_id, \"Choose one letter:\", reply_markup=markup)\n\n# or add KeyboardButton one row at a time:\nmarkup = types.ReplyKeyboardMarkup()\nitembtna = types.KeyboardButton('a')\nitembtnv = types.KeyboardButton('v')\nitembtnc = types.KeyboardButton('c')\nitembtnd = types.KeyboardButton('d')\nitembtne = types.KeyboardButton('e')\nmarkup.row(itembtna, itembtnv)\nmarkup.row(itembtnc, itembtnd, itembtne)\ntb.send_message(chat_id, \"Choose one letter:\", reply_markup=markup)\n```\nThe last example yields this result:\n\n![ReplyKeyboardMarkup](https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2933/32418726704_9ef76093cf_o_d.jpg \"ReplyKeyboardMarkup\")\n\n```python\n# ReplyKeyboardRemove: hides a previously sent ReplyKeyboardMarkup\n# Takes an optional selective argument (True/False, default False)\nmarkup = types.ReplyKeyboardRemove(selective=False)\ntb.send_message(chat_id, message, reply_markup=markup)\n```\n\n```python\n# ForceReply: forces a user to reply to a message\n# Takes an optional selective argument (True/False, default False)\nmarkup = types.ForceReply(selective=False)\ntb.send_message(chat_id, \"Send me another word:\", reply_markup=markup)\n```\nForceReply:\n\n![ForceReply](https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3809/32418726814_d1baec0fc2_o_d.jpg \"ForceReply\")\n\n\n### Working with entities\nThis object represents one special entity in a text message. For example, hashtags, usernames, URLs, etc.\nAttributes:\n* `type`\n* `url`\n* `offset`\n* `length`\n* `user`\n\n\n**Here's an Example:**`message.entities[num].<attribute>`<br>\nHere `num` is the entity number or order of entity in a reply, for if incase there are multiple entities in the reply/message.<br>\n`message.entities` returns a list of entities object. <br>\n`message.entities[0].type` would give the type of the first entity<br>\nRefer [Bot Api](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#messageentity) for extra details\n\n## Advanced use of the API\n\n### Using local Bot API Sever\nSince version 5.0 of the Bot API, you have the possibility to run your own [Local Bot API Server](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#using-a-local-bot-api-server).\npyTelegramBotAPI also supports this feature.\n```python\nfrom telebot import apihelper\n\napihelper.API_URL = \"http://localhost:4200/bot{0}/{1}\"\n```\n**Important: Like described [here](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#logout), you have to log out your bot from the Telegram server before switching to your local API server. in pyTelegramBotAPI use `bot.log_out()`**\n\n*Note: 4200 is an example port*\n\n### Asynchronous TeleBot\nNew: There is an asynchronous implementation of telebot.\nTo enable this behaviour, create an instance of AsyncTeleBot instead of TeleBot.\n```python\ntb = telebot.AsyncTeleBot(\"TOKEN\")\n```\nNow, every function that calls the Telegram API is executed in a separate asynchronous task.\nUsing AsyncTeleBot allows you to do the following:\n```python\nimport telebot\n\ntb = telebot.AsyncTeleBot(\"TOKEN\")\n\n@tb.message_handler(commands=['start'])\nasync def start_message(message):\n\tawait bot.send_message(message.chat.id, 'Hello!')\n\n```\n\nSee more in [examples](https://github.com/eternnoir/pyTelegramBotAPI/tree/master/examples/asynchronous_telebot)\n\n### Sending large text messages\nSometimes you must send messages that exceed 5000 characters. The Telegram API can not handle that many characters in one request, so we need to split the message in multiples. Here is how to do that using the API:\n```python\nfrom telebot import util\nlarge_text = open(\"large_text.txt\", \"rb\").read()\n\n# Split the text each 3000 characters.\n# split_string returns a list with the splitted text.\nsplitted_text = util.split_string(large_text, 3000)\n\nfor text in splitted_text:\n\ttb.send_message(chat_id, text)\n```\n\nOr you can use the new `smart_split` function to get more meaningful substrings:\n```python\nfrom telebot import util\nlarge_text = open(\"large_text.txt\", \"rb\").read()\n# Splits one string into multiple strings, with a maximum amount of `chars_per_string` (max. 4096)\n# Splits by last '\\n', '. ' or ' ' in exactly this priority.\n# smart_split returns a list with the splitted text.\nsplitted_text = util.smart_split(large_text, chars_per_string=3000)\nfor text in splitted_text:\n\ttb.send_message(chat_id, text)\n```\n### Controlling the amount of Threads used by TeleBot\nThe TeleBot constructor takes the following optional arguments:\n\n - threaded: True/False (default True). A flag to indicate whether\n TeleBot should execute message handlers on it's polling Thread.\n\n### The listener mechanism\nAs an alternative to the message handlers, one can also register a function as a listener to TeleBot.\n\nNOTICE: handlers won't disappear! Your message will be processed both by handlers and listeners. Also, it's impossible to predict which will work at first because of threading. If you use threaded=False, custom listeners will work earlier, after them handlers will be called. \nExample:\n```python\ndef handle_messages(messages):\n\tfor message in messages:\n\t\t# Do something with the message\n\t\tbot.reply_to(message, 'Hi')\n\nbot.set_update_listener(handle_messages)\nbot.infinity_polling()\n```\n\n### Using web hooks\nWhen using webhooks telegram sends one Update per call, for processing it you should call process_new_messages([update.message]) when you recieve it.\n\nThere are some examples using webhooks in the [examples/webhook_examples](examples/webhook_examples) directory.\n\n### Logging\nYou can use the Telebot module logger to log debug info about Telebot. Use `telebot.logger` to get the logger of the TeleBot module.\nIt is possible to add custom logging Handlers to the logger. Refer to the [Python logging module page](https://docs.python.org/2/library/logging.html) for more info.\n\n```python\nimport logging\n\nlogger = telebot.logger\ntelebot.logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) # Outputs debug messages to console.\n```\n\n### Proxy\nFor sync:\n\nYou can use proxy for request. `apihelper.proxy` object will use by call `requests` proxies argument.\n\n```python\nfrom telebot import apihelper\n\napihelper.proxy = {'http':'http://127.0.0.1:3128'}\n```\n\nIf you want to use socket5 proxy you need install dependency `pip install requests[socks]` and make sure, that you have the latest version of `gunicorn`, `PySocks`, `pyTelegramBotAPI`, `requests` and `urllib3`.\n\n```python\napihelper.proxy = {'https':'socks5://userproxy:password@proxy_address:port'}\n```\n\nFor async:\n```python\nfrom telebot import asyncio_helper\n\nasyncio_helper.proxy = 'http://127.0.0.1:3128' #url\n```\n\n\n### Testing\nYou can disable or change the interaction with real Telegram server by using\n```python\napihelper.CUSTOM_REQUEST_SENDER = your_handler\n```\nparameter. You can pass there your own function that will be called instead of _requests.request_.\n\nFor example:\n```python\ndef custom_sender(method, url, **kwargs):\n print(\"custom_sender. method: {}, url: {}, params: {}\".format(method, url, kwargs.get(\"params\")))\n result = util.CustomRequestResponse('{\"ok\":true,\"result\":{\"message_id\": 1, \"date\": 1, \"chat\": {\"id\": 1, \"type\": \"private\"}}}')\n return result\n```\n\nThen you can use API and proceed requests in your handler code.\n```python\napihelper.CUSTOM_REQUEST_SENDER = custom_sender\ntb = TeleBot(\"test\")\nres = tb.send_message(123, \"Test\")\n```\n\nResult will be:\n\n`custom_sender. method: post, url: https://api.telegram.org/botololo/sendMessage, params: {'chat_id': '123', 'text': 'Test'}`\n\n\n\n## API conformance limitations\n* \u2795 [Bot API 4.5](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api-changelog#december-31-2019) - No nested MessageEntities and Markdown2 support\n* \u2795 [Bot API 4.1](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api-changelog#august-27-2018) - No Passport support\n* \u2795 [Bot API 4.0](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api-changelog#july-26-2018) - No Passport support\n\n\n## AsyncTeleBot\n### Asynchronous version of telebot\nWe have a fully asynchronous version of TeleBot.\nThis class is not controlled by threads. Asyncio tasks are created to execute all the stuff.\n\n### EchoBot\nEcho Bot example on AsyncTeleBot:\n\t\n```python\n# This is a simple echo bot using the decorator mechanism.\n# It echoes any incoming text messages.\n\nfrom telebot.async_telebot import AsyncTeleBot\nimport asyncio\nbot = AsyncTeleBot('TOKEN')\n\n\n\n# Handle '/start' and '/help'\n@bot.message_handler(commands=['help', 'start'])\nasync def send_welcome(message):\n await bot.reply_to(message, \"\"\"\\\nHi there, I am EchoBot.\nI am here to echo your kind words back to you. Just say anything nice and I'll say the exact same thing to you!\\\n\"\"\")\n\n\n# Handle all other messages with content_type 'text' (content_types defaults to ['text'])\n@bot.message_handler(func=lambda message: True)\nasync def echo_message(message):\n await bot.reply_to(message, message.text)\n\n\nasyncio.run(bot.polling())\n```\nAs you can see here, keywords are await and async. \n\t\n### Why should I use async?\nAsynchronous tasks depend on processor performance. Many asynchronous tasks can run parallelly, while thread tasks will block each other.\n\n### Differences in AsyncTeleBot\nAsyncTeleBot is asynchronous. It uses aiohttp instead of requests module.\n\t\n### Examples\nSee more examples in our [examples](https://github.com/eternnoir/pyTelegramBotAPI/tree/master/examples/asynchronous_telebot) folder\n\t\n\n## F.A.Q.\n\n### How can I distinguish a User and a GroupChat in message.chat?\nTelegram Bot API support new type Chat for message.chat.\n\n- Check the ```type``` attribute in ```Chat``` object:\n```python\nif message.chat.type == \"private\":\n # private chat message\n\nif message.chat.type == \"group\":\n\t# group chat message\n\nif message.chat.type == \"supergroup\":\n\t# supergroup chat message\n\nif message.chat.type == \"channel\":\n\t# channel message\n\n```\n\n### How can I handle reocurring ConnectionResetErrors?\n\nBot instances that were idle for a long time might be rejected by the server when sending a message due to a timeout of the last used session.
