answer_callback_query()

Client.answer_callback_query()

Send answers to callback queries sent from inline keyboards. The answer will be displayed to the user as a notification at the top of the chat screen or as an alert.

Usable by Users Bots
Parameters:

  • callback_query_id (``str``) – Unique identifier for the query to be answered.

  • text (``str`` *optional*) – Text of the notification. If not specified, nothing will be shown to the user, 0-200 characters.

  • show_alert (``bool``, *optional*) – If true, an alert will be shown by the client instead of a notification at the top of the chat screen. Defaults to False.

  • url (``str``, *optional*) – URL that will be opened by the user’s client. If you have created a Game and accepted the conditions via @Botfather, specify the URL that opens your game - note that this will only work if the query comes from a callback_game button. Otherwise, you may use links like t.me/your_bot?start=XXXX that open your bot with a parameter.

  • cache_time (``int``, *optional*) – The maximum amount of time in seconds that the result of the callback query may be cached client-side. Telegram apps will support caching starting in version 3.14. Defaults to 0.

Returns:

``bool`` (True, on success.)

Raises:

RPCError –
