send_message()

Client.send_message()

Send text messages.

Parameters

• chat_id (int | str) – Unique identifier (int) or username (str) of the target chat. For your personal cloud (Saved Messages) you can simply use “me” or “self”. For a contact that exists in your Telegram address book you can use his phone number (str).

• text (str) – Text of the message to be sent.

• parse_mode (str, optional) – By default, texts are parsed using both Markdown and HTML styles. You can combine both syntaxes together. Pass “markdown” or “md” to enable Markdown-style parsing only. Pass “html” to enable HTML-style parsing only. Pass None to completely disable style parsing.

• entities (List of MessageEntity) – List of special entities that appear in message text, which can be specified instead of parse_mode.

• disable_web_page_preview (bool, optional) – Disables link previews for links in this message.

• disable_notification (bool, optional) – Sends the message silently. Users will receive a notification with no sound.

• reply_to_message_id (int, optional) – If the message is a reply, ID of the original message.

• schedule_date (int, optional) – Date when the message will be automatically sent. Unix time.

• reply_markup (InlineKeyboardMarkup | ReplyKeyboardMarkup | ReplyKeyboardRemove | ForceReply, optional) – Additional interface options. An object for an inline keyboard, custom reply keyboard, instructions to remove reply keyboard or to force a reply from the user.
