How to make the tg bot send the document that the user sent back to the user?

In this block of code:

@bot.message_handler(content_types=["document"])
def sending_document(message):
    if ".docx" in message.document.file_name:
        bot.send_document(message.chat.id, message.document) #<- problem

I don't know where to get the document from the message.

I tried to do a lot of things but it didn't work.

Solution

  • Disclaimer: I'm familiar with the telebot library, but with the Telegram Bot API itself.

    The sendDocument expects for the parameter document either a URL, a file id or a multipart-uploaded file. However, message.document is a Document object. The file_id of that document should be available via message.document.file_id, so I'd expect bot.send_document(message.chat.id, message.document.file_id to work.
