Currently I have a telegram bot that outputs a URL, but everytime the bot sends a URL telegram creates a link preview. One solution I came up with was pass this URL through a URL redirect service or website to break the link preview. Is there a url redirect service where I can append a URL parameter where it will redirect to that site?
I can code up my own php script that parses the URL parameter, but if a service already exists I rather use that.
-- Edit: From December 29, 2023 update, to disable previews the option are: --
link_preview_options: {
is_disabled: true,
},
You can set disable_web_page_preview attribute to true when using sendMessage method.
It will disable link previews for links in this message.
