How to send image inside quotation in telegram?

Hello i need to make sending image in telegram bot like on image I have qr code image with link, i want to know how to place image inside quotation.

I tried to make with sendPhoto, but it looks like default image sending with captions

Solution

  • As I can see, it's not actually the sendPhoto method. It's just the sendMessage method to send a normal text message. The quoted image is actually the Link Preview.

    You can POST to sendMessage with something like the following data to achieve this:

    {
    "chat_id": 123456,
    "text": "Hello World",
    "link_preview_options": {
        "url": "https://URL_TO_IMAGE_TO_BE_SHOWN.jpg"
    }
}

    Or you can do it by GET method by calling the following URL:

    https://api.telegram.org/<BOT_TOKEN>/sendMessage?chat_id=<CHAT_ID>&text=Hello+World&link_preview_options={%22url%22:%22<IMAGE_TO_BE_SHOWN.jpg>%22}

    Make sure to replace the <BOT_TOKEN>, <CHAT_ID>, and <IMAGE_TO_BE_SHOWN.jpg> with appropriate data.

    Hope this helps!
