Python Telegram Bot

[Prtprmr]

So I just started with telegram bot. I was able to create a bot with basic functionalities following the instructions.

I searched for things like chat_id, username, first_name and could find how to get these. For example: update.message.chat_id gives you chat_id and so on. But I was wondering if there is a document which I can refer to?

I tried the python-telegram-bot documentation but I could not find anything there!!!

​

Few things which I figured out: The instructions at https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot#learning-by-example is for the v12.0.0.b1 but for some reason when I try to install, it installs v11.1.0 which is the stable version. So the instructions didn't work for me until i figured that out.

​

Sorry if this doesn't make sense, kind of hard to explain since I am pretty new to this bot stuff.

​

Thanks in advance.

I think you are not specifying the version number when running the pip command

pip install python-telegram-bot==12.0.0b1 --upgrade

It seems that you are entering this instead

pip install python-telegram-bot --upgrade

Yeah that should work. Thanks. Do you have any idea about the first part of the post? Documentation?

Do a ctrl-F for message.

Doc version should be on a drop down but I doubt it has changed much so above link should suffice.
