Update

This object represents the Update Type in the Bot API.

Type

An update can have one of several types indicated in the Bot API (e.g. message, channel_post, etc.).

This class has a type method that will give you the type of this update. The returned value will be one of the available values in the update_types module. You can check the type by checking the string values but in order to avoid errors it is recommended to use the update_types module:

from django_tgbot.state_manager import update_types
from django_tgbot.types.update import Update

update: Update = ...

type = update.type()

if type == update_types.Message:
    print('Update is a message')
elif type == update_types.EditedMessage:
    print('Update is an edited message')
elif
    ...

These are all of the available update types at the moment:

• Message
• EditedMessage
• ChannelPost
• EditedChannelPost
• InlineQuery
• ChosenInlineResult
• CallbackQuery
• ShippingQuery
• PreCheckoutQuery
• Poll
• PollAnswer
