Telegram Bot Clickable Command with Parameters

I am using python-telegram-bot to create a Telegram bot.

I am trying to insert a command with parameters into bot messages, such that a user could press it?

Here, on telegram core page I found a pic that depics a chat with command + parameters (/dl_) enter image description here

However I cannot get how this can be done

Quick working solution for you: 

#!/usr/bin/python3
from telegram.ext import Updater, MessageHandler, Filters
from telegram.ext import RegexHandler
from string import ascii_lowercase
from string import digits
from random import choice
from sys import exc_info as error

token = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'


def start(bot, update):
  username = update.message.from_user.first_name
  update.message.reply_text(greeting(username), parse_mode='Markdown')
  message = genre_head()

  for genre in genres:
    message += genre_list(genre['name'], genre['id'])

  update.message.reply_text(message, parse_mode='Markdown')

def artist(bot, update):
  genre_id = update.message.text.replace('/dl_', '')

  for genre in genres:
    if genre['id'] == genre_id:
       message = artist_head(genre['name'])

  for artist in artists:
    message += artist_list(artist['id'], artist['name'], genre_id)

  message += artist_list_end()
  update.message.reply_text(message, parse_mode='Markdown')

def download(bot, update):
  file = update.message.text.replace('/dl_', '')
  update.message.reply_text(u'\U0001F3BC\nhttp://music.com/{}.mp3'.format(file),
                            parse_mode='Markdown')

try:
  updater = Updater(token)
  dp = updater.dispatcher

  dp.add_handler(RegexHandler('/start', start))
  dp.add_handler(RegexHandler('^(/dl_[\d]+)$', artist))
  dp.add_handler(RegexHandler('^(/dl_[\d]+[\w]+)$', download))
  dp.add_handler(MessageHandler(Filters.text, start))

  updater.start_polling()
except:
  print(error())
  updater.stop()

Check out this closed issue: https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/issues/696

The concept is pretty simple:

  • match messages starting with /dl_
  • strip out that part and validate the rest
  • process whatever needs to be processed
