Depends requests >= 2.32.3

Example

from yandex_bot import Client, Button, Message, User

bot = Client(os.getenv("YANDEX_BOT_KEY"))

@bot.on_message(phrase="/start")
def command_start(message):
    btn = Button(text="What is your name", phrase="/name")
    bot.send_message("Select an action", login=message.user.login, inline_keyboard=[btn])


@bot.on_message(phrase="/name")
def command_start(message):
    bot.send_message("Type your name", login=message.user.login)
    bot.register_next_step_handler(message.user.login, type_your_name)


def type_your_name(message):
    bot.send_message(f"Your name is {message.text}", login=message.user.login)


bot.run()

Message processing

To process all messages starting with a specific phrase, use decorator @bot.on_message. Specify in the parameters phrase to handle messages that begin with the specified phrase.

phrase checks the first word of the text from the user

@bot.on_message(phrase="/start")
def command_start(message):
    bot.send_message(f"Hello, {message.user.login}", login=message.user.login)

To send a message use bot.send_message. You can provide chat_id or login there.

bot.send_message("Hello, I'm bot", login=message.user.login)

bot.send_message("Hello, I'm bot", chat_id="12512571242")

inline_keyboard is used to add buttons to a chat with a user. Just create a Button class and provide text (The text on the button). You can provide phrase for fast binding to the processing function, or you can provide any callback_data to a Button and it will be returned on Message class in callback_data.

btn = Button(text="My button", phrase="/data", callback_data={"foo": "bar", "bar": "foo"})
bot.send_message("Select an action", login=message.user.login, inline_keyboard=[btn])

You can also delete_message() in chats and channels where the bot is located. Pass the message_id and the login or chat_id to the method. Return message_id deleted message

data = bot.delete_message(12356532, login="[e-mail]")

Handling next step

For example, to wait for a response from a user to a question, you can use bot.register_next_step_handler(). This method will store the session with the current user. The method includes:

1. user_login - the username of the user from whom to wait for the message;
2. callback - the handler function

@bot.on_message(phrase="/name")
def get_user_name(message):
    bot.send_message("Type your name", login=message.user.login)
    bot.register_next_step_handler(message.user.login, type_your_name)

def type_your_name(message):
    bot.send_message(f"Your name is {message.text}", login=message.user.login)

Unhandled messages

To process messages for which no handler is specified, use the decorator @bot.unhandled_message(). By default, messages without a handler are not processed in any way

@bot.unhandled_message()
def unhandled(message: Message):
    print(message)

Send file or image

The method allows you to send files to private or group chats.

send_file() example. Returns a dictionary containing the message id and file id

data = bot.send_file("files/test.txt", login="[e-mail]")

send_image() example. Returns the message id with the sent image.

data = bot.send_image("files/test.jpg", login="[e-mail]")

Chats

create_chat()

The method allows you to create a chat or channel, add its description and icon, assign administrators, add members (for the chat) or subscribers (for the channel).

@bot.on_message(phrase="/create_chat")
def command_create_chat(message: Message):
    chat = Chat(name="Test chat 1", description="Description")
    users = [User(login="[e-mail]"), User(login="[e-mail]")]
    chat.set_admins(users)
    chat_id = bot.create_chat(chat=chat)

change_chat_users()

The method allows you to add and remove participants to the chat, add and remove subscribers to the channel, as well as appoint chat or channel administrators.

data = bot.change_chat_users("3424234", admins=[User(login="login2")], 
                            remove=[User(login="login")])
