File

This object represents a file ready to be downloaded. The file can be downloaded via the link https://api.telegram.org/file/bot/. It is guaranteed that the link will be valid for at least 1 hour. When the link expires, a new one can be requested by calling getFile.

Properties

  • file_id (str): Identifier for this file, which can be used to download or reuse the file
  • file_unique_id (str): Unique identifier for this file, which is supposed to be the same over time and for different bots. Can't be used to download or reuse the file.
  • file_size (int): Optional. File size in bytes. It can be bigger than 2^31 and some programming languages may have difficulty/silent defects in interpreting it. But it has at most 52 significant bits, so a signed 64-bit integer or double-precision float type are safe for storing this value.
  • file_path (str): Optional. File path. Use https://api.telegram.org/file/bot/ to get the file.
