I am making a custom discord bot in python. I am trying to add a !report command.
I am very confused and cant find the answer anywhere. Can anyone help me make it?
I want any user to be able to do !report #example reason.
and save it in a database such as excel or sql3 or preferably in a staff channel.
how would I do this?
I have tried to use on_message()
You could use the on_message() command:
#client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.content.startswith("!report"):
report_channel = client.get_channel(channel id)
member = text.split(" ")[1]
reason = ' '.join(text.split(" ")[1:])
await report_channel.send(f"Member: {member}, Reason: {reason}")
So the first thing is to look to see if the person used the "!report" command with an if statement.
Next, you find the member by taking the second word of the message.
After that, you find the reason by taking the rest of the words in the message.
Then you send it to the pre-defined report channel on discord.

I want to get messages about joined users and delete them. I tried to do this by getting message.new_chat_members but it didn't work. There is no errors in console, just nothing.
def delall(message: types.Message):
bot.delete_message(message.chat.id, message.message_id)
I need my telegram bot to forward messages from the private chat to the customer care staff group.
I run this code:
#bot.message_handler(func=lambda message: message.chat.type=='private')
def forwarder(message):
bot.forward_message(group, message.chat.id, message.id)
bot.send_message(group, '#id'+str(message.chat.id))
It works smoothly with text messages, but does nothing with photos.
Even if I remove all previous message handlers, so there is no conflict with them to handle photos, it still keeps doing nothing.
If I use the get.updates() method I can check "manually" if the photo has arrived and I find it.
Edit: Even if i just run this code only
import telebot
bot = telebot.TeleBot("MY TOKEN")
#bot.message_handler(func=lambda message: True)
def trivial(message):
print('yes')
bot.polling()
I get 'yes' for text messages and absolutely nothing, not even raised exceptions for photos.
If you add content_types as a parameter you will receive whatever is specified in the argument (which takes an array of strings). Probably the default value for that parameter is set to ['text']. Which will only listen for 'text' messages.
To get the results you're looking for
your test code will look like:
import telebot
bot = telebot.TeleBot("MY TOKEN")
#bot.message_handler(func=lambda, message: True, content_types=['photo','text'])
def trivial(message):
print('yes')
bot.polling()
And your working code:
#bot.message_handler(func=lambda, message: message.chat.type=='private', content_types=['photo','text'])
def forwarder(message):
bot.forward_message(group, message.chat.id, message.id)
bot.send_message(group, '#id'+str(message.chat.id))
In Telegram Bot API there is a resource /sendphoto
See:
Sending message in telegram bot with images
Try to find the related method in the PyTelegramBotApi.
Or implement the function to send a photo your own (e.g. using requests library in Python). Then you can use it in the message-handlers of your bot, to forward images.
I am trying to create something of an application bot. I need the bot to be triggered in a generic channel and then continue the application process in a private DM channel with the applicant.
My issue is this : The bot can have only one on_message function defined. I find it extremely complicated (and inefficient) to check everytime if the on_message was triggered by a message from a DM channel vs the generic channel. Also, makes it difficult to keep track of an applicants answers. I want to check if the following is possible : Have the bot respond to messages from the generic channel as usual. If it receives an application prompt, start a new subprocess (or bot?) that handles the DMs with the applicant separately.
Is the above possible? if not, is there an alternative to handling this in a better way ?
#client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return
if message.channel.type==discord.ChannelType.private:
await dm_channel.send("Whats your age?") ## Question 2
elif message.channel.type == discord.ChannelType.text:
if message.content.startswith('$h'):
member = message.author
if "apply" in message.content:
await startApply(member)
else:
await message.channel.send('Hello!')
# await message.reply('Hello!', mention_author=True)
async def startApply(member):
dm_channel = await member.create_dm()
await dm_channel.send("Whats your name?") ## Question 1
I have the above code as of now. I want the startApply function to trigger a new bot/subprocess to handle the DMs with an applicant.
Option 1
Comparatively speaking, a single if check like that is not too much overhead, but there are a few different solutions. First, you could try your hand at slash commands. This is library built as an extension for the discord.py library for slash commands. You could make one that only works in DM's, and then have it run from there with continuous slash commands.
Option 2
Use a webhook to start up a new bot. This is most likely more complicated, as youll have to get a domain or find some sort of free service to catch webhooks. You could use a webhook like this though to 'wake up' a bot and have it chat with the user in dm's.
Option 3 (Recommended)
Create functions that handle the text depending on the channel, and keep that if - elif in there. As i said, one if isn't that bad. If you had functions that are called in your code that handled everything, it actually should be fairly easy to deal with:
#client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return
if message.channel.type==discord.ChannelType.private:
respondToPrivate(message)
elif message.channel.type == discord.ChannelType.text:
repondToText(message)
In terms of keeping track of the data, if this is a smaller personal project, MySQL is great and easy to learn. You can have each function store whatever data needed to the database so that you can have it stored to be looked at / safe in case of bot crash & then it will also be out of memory.
I try really hard to understand howto use Telegram api with telethon. I have some Channels in Telegram, where i want to delete older Messages. Using inputpeerchannel() i need channel_id (No Problem) and channel_hash. I cant findout howto get this channel_hash by channel_id. Thank you from germany
In order to find channel access_hash, you should resolve channel username. Original MTProto method contacts.resolveUsername#f93ccba3 gets #username and returns channel info including access_hash.
In telethon you need to invoke ResolveUsernameRequest to call the above original MTProto method. You may use this code to resolve username to access_hash:
client = TelegramClient(session_file, api_id=00000, api_hash='XXXXX')
client.connect()
response = client.invoke(ResolveUsernameRequest("your_channel_id"))
print(response.chats[0].access_hash)
client.disconnect()
There are 4 ways to get access hash:
From a Group
From username
From contact list
From chats message
So, if you have id only, there is no way to get access hash
So I've built a Telegram bot, which can receive the following commands:
/list
/info 123
This works great, as I can catch /info and pass the additional arguments as ints. But, sadly, the Telegram clients don't see /info 123 as a complete command, but just the /info part. Is there a way to make it recognize the entirety of the command as the command?
I've tried Markdown-ing it: [/info 123](/info 123), but no joy. Is this possible?
I've reached out to #BotSupport with the same question, and he/they/it responded swiftly with the following answer:
Hi, at the moment it is not possible to highlight parameters of a command. I any case, you may can find a workaround if you use correct custom keyboards ;)
— #BotSupport
Custom keyboards may be an option for someone, but not for me. The solution I've gone for is to give the command as /info123. As the bot receives all / commands, I check if the received command starts with info, and if so, I remove the info part. I convert the remaining string/int to arguments, and pass that along to the relevant command.
If you mean to pass the 123 as an argument for your command info and if you happen to use the python-telegram-bot, then here's how you do it:
dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler('hello', SayHello, pass_args=True))
According to the documentation: pass_args Determines whether the handler should be passed the arguments passed to the command as a keyword argument called args. It will contain a list of strings, which is the text following the command split on single or consecutive whitespace characters. Default is False.
you can use RegexHandler() to do this.
Here is an example
def info(bot, update):
id = update.message.text.replace('/info_', '')
update.message.reply_text(id, parse_mode='Markdown')
def main():
updater = Updater(TOKEN)
updater.dispatcher.add_handler(RegexHandler('^(/info_[\d]+)$', info))
updater.start_polling()
Usage
The command /info_120 will return 120
and /info_007 will return 007
UPDATE
for newer versions, you may use this method instead!
MessageHandler(filters.Regex(r'^(/info_[\d]+)$'), info)
To get the argument of command you don't even need to use pass_args as said Moein you can simply get it from context.args look at Github page. So you can pass as many arguments as you want and you will get a list of arguments! Here is an example from Github.
def start_callback(update, context):
user_says = " ".join(context.args)
update.message.reply_text("You said: " + user_says)
...
dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler("start", start_callback))
ForceReply
Upon receiving a message with this object, Telegram clients will display a reply interface to the user (act as if the user has selected the bot's message and tapped 'Reply'). This can be extremely useful if you want to create user-friendly step-by-step interfaces without having to sacrifice privacy mode.
a simple shot
In this case, a user should send a valid number with /audio command (e.g. /audio 3, if they forgot it, we can inform and force them to do so.

This is a fairly rudimentary way of creating kwargs from user input.
Unfortunately, it does require the user to be aware of the fields that can be used as parameters, but if you can provide informative response when the user doesnt provide any detectable kwarg style messages then you could probably make a better experience.
As I say, extremely rudimentary idea, and would probably be achieved faster with the regex filters available. And this would be much more reliable when checking input from the user of the "pesky" variety.
The script relies on || delimiter preceeding the command and as is shown will trim any extra characters like new lines and spaces
You can remove the extra check for commit as this is provided in order to tell the bot that you want to save your input to the database explicitly.
def parse_kwargs(update):
commit = False
kwargs = {}
if update.message:
for args in update.message.text.split('||')[1:]:
for kw_pair in args.split(','):
key, value = kw_pair.split('=')
if key.strip() != 'commit':
kwargs[key.strip()] = value.strip()
elif key.strip() == 'commit' and value.strip().lower() == 'true':
commit = True
return kwargs, commit
