Handling Place (location) content type

I have been using the PyTelegramBotAPI to handle current location with the content handler:

@bot.message_handler(content_types=['location'])

I am able to get the latitude and longitude which is really great.

However, below the current location option, I can send the bot a place. (seems that it does not have lat/lon data but it is an address) Which content handler should I use to handle it? I tried finding some documentation on https://pypi.org/project/pyTelegramBotAPI/0.3.0/ but i cant find any :(

Many thanks if you could point me in the right direction :) Attached a picture of the send current location/place option:

Solution

  • Solved! Use

    @bot.message_handler(content_types=['venue'])

    to handle places sent by users.
