I'm using python-telegram-bot V20.2 to create somthing like this: Chat and User Selection
I'm having problem handling the event when the user shares a group/channel chat.
here is my code:
from telegram import Update, KeyboardButton, KeyboardButtonRequestChat, ReplyKeyboardMarkup
from telegram.ext import ApplicationBuilder, CommandHandler, CallbackContext, MessageHandler, filters
bot_token = "bot_token"
# python-telegram-bot setup
application = ApplicationBuilder().token(bot_token).build()
# python-telegram-bot command handler
async def start(update: Update, context: CallbackContext):
request_chat = KeyboardButtonRequestChat(1, True)
keyboard = [[KeyboardButton("Request Chat", request_chat=request_chat)]]
reply_markup = ReplyKeyboardMarkup(keyboard)
await update.message.reply_text('Please share your contact details', reply_markup=reply_markup)
async def request_contact(update: Update, context: CallbackContext):
chat = update.message.chat_shared
if chat.request_id == 1:
print(chat.chat_id)
application.add_handler(CommandHandler('start', start))
application.add_handler(MessageHandler(filters._Contact, request_contact)) #here is the problem!
print('Running...')
application.run_polling()
After I ran the bot, invoked the \start command, and shared a chat, I encountered this error:
No error handlers are registered, logging exception.
Traceback (most recent call last):

check = handler.check_update(update) # Should the handler handle this update?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You used filters._Contact, which is a protected class of the filters module. Those are not intended to be used by the user, but are for internal use of the python-telegram-bot library itself. See also PEP8.
Please choose one of the filters documented here. I guess you'll want to use filters.StatusUpdate.CHAT_SHARED.
