Getting input from users in Bot
11,077
Solution 1
I recommend to have a look at the examples on GitHub.
With python-telegram-bot v12.0.0b1 you can do it like this:
def do_something(user_input):
answer = "You have wrote me " + user_input
return answer
def reply(update, context):
user_input = update.message.text
update.message.reply_text(do_something(user_input))
def main():
updater = Updater("TOKEN", use_context=True)
dp = updater.dispatcher
dp.add_handler(MessageHandler(Filters.text, reply))
updater.start_polling()
updater.idle()
Solution 2
I recommend pyTelegramBotAPI, not python-telegram-bot. For me it is easier.
And you should use this:
@bot.message_handler(func=lambda message: True)
def echo_message(message):
cid = message.chat.id
mid = message.message_id
message_text = message.text
user_id = message.from_user.id
user_name = message.from_user.first_name
You can save this information in JSON if you want.

I have a question about building a telegram bot with python. How can I get input from the user in my python-telegram-bot?
For example, a dictionary bot, how can I get a word from the user?
