How can I add custom keyboard on my Telegram bot?


Here is my Telegram bot code:

import time, datetime
import telepot
from telepot.loop import MessageLoop

now = datetime.datetime.now()

def action(msg):
    chat_id = msg['chat']['id']
    command = msg['text']

    print('Received: %s' % command)

    if command == '/start':
        telegram_bot.sendMessage (chat_id, str("Hi!"))
        telegram_bot.sendMessage(chat_id, str(now.hour)+str(":")+str(now.minute))
    elif command == 'Time':
        telegram_bot.sendMessage(chat_id, str(now.hour)+str(":")+str(now.minute))
    elif command == 'Logo':
        telegram_bot.sendPhoto (chat_id, photo = "https://i.pinimg.com/avatars/circuitdigest_1464122100_280.jpg")
    elif command == 'File':
        telegram_bot.sendDocument(chat_id, document=open('/home/pi/sendbot.py'))
    elif command == 'Audio':
        telegram_bot.sendAudio(chat_id, audio=open('/home/pi/test.mp3'))

telegram_bot = telepot.Bot('MY-BOT-TOKEN')
print((telegram_bot.getMe()))

MessageLoop(telegram_bot, action).run_as_thread()
print('Up and Running....')

while 1:
    time.sleep(10)

I want to add a custom keyboard for this bot that will have 4 buttons named Time, Logo, File and Audio.

As examples If I click on the Time button instead of typing "Time", it will tell me the time. If I click on the Logo button instead of typing it, it will send me the picture.


Solution

  • There are good examples in the Telepot's Github project. check them out plz.

    ...
        markup = ReplyKeyboardMarkup(keyboard=[['Time', KeyboardButton(text='Logo')],["File", "Audio"]])
        if command == '/start':
            telegram_bot.sendMessage (chat_id, str("Hi! Which one do you want? choose from the below keyboard buttons."), reply_markup=markup)
            telegram_bot.sendMessage(chat_id, str(now.hour)+str(":")+str(now.minute))
    ...
