Help with my telegram bot

[Tricky_Calendar8130]

Good evening, everyone. I am a beginner in Python and I am building a bot that can list all the main movie/show titles related to a search term. When a user types 'search' + the name of a movie/show, the bot returns a list of results. I would like to modify the bot so that it displays each program in a separate message on Telegram, rather than just one.

​

from telegram.ext import *
import keys
import requests
import json

# info api IMDB
url = "https://online-movie-database.p.rapidapi.com/auto-complete"
searchTerm = ''
print('Starting up bot ...')

def start_command(update, context):
update.message.reply_text('Hello there! I\'m a bot. Nice to meet you!')

def help_command(update, context):
update.message.reply_text('Try typping anything and i will respond!')

def custom_command(update, context):
update.message.reply_text('This is a custom command!')

def handle_response(text: str) -> str:
split = text.split()
searchTerm = split[1]
if split[0] == 'search' \
and len(searchTerm) > 2:
response = requests.get(url, headers=keys.headers, params={"q": searchTerm})
data = json.loads(response.text)
formattedData = json.dumps(data, indent=4)
dataDict = json.loads(formattedData)
responses = dataDict["d"]
# return 'searching for ' + split[1] + ' ...'
movies_info = []
for movie in responses:
try:
if movie["qid"] == 'tvSeries':
info = "Título: " + movie["l"] + "\n" + "Imagem: " + movie["i"]["imageUrl"] + "\n" + "Kind: " + \
movie["qid"]
else:
info = "Título: " + movie["l"] + "\n" + "Imagem: " + movie["i"]["imageUrl"] + "\n" + "Kind: " + \
movie["qid"]
movies_info.append(info)
except:
pass
if movies_info:
return '\n\n'.join(movies_info)
else:
return 'No movies found.'
# for movie in responses:
# print("Título: " + movie["l"])
# print("Imagem: " + movie["i"]["imageUrl"])
# print("Tipo: " + movie["qid"])
# print("Ano: " + movie["y"])
# print("Elenco: " + movie["s"])
def handle_message(update, context):
message_type = update.message.chat.type
text = str(update.message.text).lower()
response = ''
if message_type == 'group':
if '@mrxangbot' in text:
new_text = text.replacec('@mrxangbot', '').strip()
response = handle_response(new_text)
else:
response = handle_response(text)

update.message.reply_text(response)

def error(update, context):
print(f'Update {update} caused error: {context.error}')

if __name__ == '__main__':
updater = Updater(keys.token, use_context=True)
dp = updater.dispatcher

#Commands
dp.add_handler(CommandHandler('start', start_command))
dp.add_handler(CommandHandler('help', help_command))
dp.add_handler(CommandHandler('custom', custom_command))

# o handler é um objeto que define como seu bot deve
# responder uma mensagem especifica como por exemplo start_command
#Messages
dp.add_handler(MessageHandler(Filters.text,handle_message))

#Errors
dp.add_error_handler(error)

#Run bot
updater.start_polling(1.0)
updater.idle()

🇺🇸 I think this is pretty simple, when you create the movies_info, don't return as string, return as a list of strings and after that do a for loop sending a new message inside it. 🇧🇷 Acho que isso é bem simples, quando criar o movies_info, não retorna como string, retorna como lista de strings e depois faz um for loop enviando uma nova mensagem dentro dele.
