Telegram Bot: Can we identify if message is from group admin?

I have added my bot to a group chat, now for few commands I need to give access only to the group admin, so is it possible to identify if the message sender is admin of the group? I am using python-telegram-bot library

When you use getUpdates, you can see .message.chat.type is group or not.

And then use getChatMember, .result.status should be administrator or creator.

It is absolutely possible. You can use the getChatAdministrators API method (returns a list of ChatMember) to get a list of admins for a chat, or the getChatMember API method (returns a single ChatMember) to get the admin status of a single user.

An efficient method to solve this problem is described here: https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Code-snippets#cached-telegram-group-administrator-check

No. You need to hardcode user id in your source and compare if user id in admin-ids array.
