Use this method to receive incoming updates using long polling (wiki).

Notes 1. This method will not work if an outgoing webhook is set up. 2. In order to avoid getting duplicate updates, recalculate offset after each server response.

Source: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#getupdatesParameters

offset (typing.Optional[base.Integer]) – Identifier of the first update to be returned
limit (typing.Optional[base.Integer]) – Limits the number of updates to be retrieved
timeout (typing.Optional[base.Integer]) – Timeout in seconds for long polling

Use this method to specify a url and receive incoming updates via an outgoing webhook. Whenever there is an update for the bot, we will send an HTTPS POST request to the specified url, containing a JSON-serialized Update. In case of an unsuccessful request, we will give up after a reasonable amount of attempts. Returns True on success.

If you’d like to make sure that the Webhook request comes from Telegram, we recommend using a secret path in the URL, e.g. https://www.example.com/<token>. Since nobody else knows your bot’s token, you can be pretty sure it’s us.

Source: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#setwebhookParameters

url (base.String) – HTTPS url to send updates to. Use an empty string to remove webhook integration
certificate (typing.Optional[base.InputFile]) – Upload your public key certificate so that the root certificate in use can be checked. See our self-signed guide for details: https://core.telegram.org/bots/self-signed
ip_address (typing.Optional[base.String]) – The fixed IP address which will be used to send webhook requests instead of the IP address resolved through DNS
max_connections (typing.Optional[base.Integer]) – Maximum allowed number of simultaneous HTTPS connections to the webhook for update delivery, 1-100. Defaults to 40. Use lower values to limit the load on your bot’s server, and higher values to increase your bot’s throughput.
allowed_updates (typing.Optional[typing.List[base.String]]) – A list of the update types you want your bot to receive. For example, specify [“message”, “edited_channel_post”, “callback_query”] to only receive updates of these types. See Update for a complete list of available update types. Specify an empty list to receive all updates regardless of type (default). If not specified, the previous setting will be used. Please note that this parameter doesn’t affect updates created before the call to the setWebhook, so unwanted updates may be received for a short period of time.
drop_pending_updates (typing.Optional[base.Boolean]) – Pass True to drop all pending updates
secret_token (typing.Optional[str]) – A secret token to be sent in a header “X-Telegram-Bot-Api-Secret-Token” in every webhook request, 1-256 characters. Only characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, _ and – are allowed. The header is useful to ensure that the request comes from a webhook set by you.

types.Userasynclog_out()→ Boolean[source]

Use this method to log out from the cloud Bot API server before launching the bot locally. You must log out the bot before running it locally, otherwise there is no guarantee that the bot will receive updates. After a successful call, you will not be able to log in again using the same token for 10 minutes. Returns True on success. Requires no parameters.

Source: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#logoutReturns

Returns True on successReturn type

base.Booleanclose_bot()→ Boolean[source]

Use this method to close the bot instance before moving it from one local server to another. You need to delete the webhook before calling this method to ensure that the bot isn’t launched again after server restart. The method will return error 429 in the first 10 minutes after the bot is launched. Returns True on success. Requires no parameters.
