Bases: telegram.base.TelegramObject

This object represents an incoming update.

Objects of this class are comparable in terms of equality. Two objects of this class are considered equal, if their update_id is equal.

Note

At most one of the optional parameters can be present in any given update.

Parameters

update_id (int) – The update’s unique identifier. Update identifiers start from a certain positive number and increase sequentially. This ID becomes especially handy if you’re using Webhooks, since it allows you to ignore repeated updates or to restore the correct update sequence, should they get out of order. If there are no new updates for at least a week, then identifier of the next update will be chosen randomly instead of sequentially.
message (telegram.Message, optional) – New incoming message of any kind - text, photo, sticker, etc.
edited_message (telegram.Message, optional) – New version of a message that is known to the bot and was edited.
channel_post (telegram.Message, optional) – New incoming channel post of any kind - text, photo, sticker, etc.
edited_channel_post (telegram.Message, optional) – New version of a channel post that is known to the bot and was edited.
inline_query (telegram.InlineQuery, optional) – New incoming inline query.
chosen_inline_result (telegram.ChosenInlineResult, optional) – The result of an inline query that was chosen by a user and sent to their chat partner.
callback_query (telegram.CallbackQuery, optional) – New incoming callback query.
shipping_query (telegram.ShippingQuery, optional) – New incoming shipping query. Only for invoices with flexible price.
pre_checkout_query (telegram.PreCheckoutQuery, optional) – New incoming pre-checkout query. Contains full information about checkout.
poll (telegram.Poll, optional) – New poll state. Bots receive only updates about stopped polls and polls, which are sent by the bot.
poll_answer (telegram.PollAnswer, optional) – A user changed their answer in a non-anonymous poll. Bots receive new votes only in polls that were sent by the bot itself.
my_chat_member (telegram.ChatMemberUpdated, optional) –
The bot’s chat member status was updated in a chat. For private chats, this update is received only when the bot is blocked or unblocked by the user.

New in version 13.4.
chat_member (telegram.ChatMemberUpdated, optional) –
A chat member’s status was updated in a chat. The bot must be an administrator in the chat and must explicitly specify 'chat_member' in the list of 'allowed_updates' to receive these updates (see telegram.Bot.get_updates(), telegram.Bot.set_webhook(), telegram.ext.Updater.start_polling() and telegram.ext.Updater.start_webhook()).
