InlineQueryResultArticle of answerInlineQuery in Telegram Bot API with Google Apps Script

Question

I'm using google apps script for Telegram Bot API & I'm having problem with InlineQueryResultArticle in answerInlineQuery method.

function answerInlineQuery(iqid, result){
  var data = {
        method: "post",
        payload: {
          method: "answerInlineQuery",
          inline_query_id: iqid,
          results:JSON.stringify(result)
        }
}
}

Here is the format of result :-

    var result= {
        InlineQueryResultArticle:[
          {type:'article',id: iqid, title:"RESULT 1", input_message_content:"TEXT 1"},
         {type:'article',id: iqid, title:"RESULT 2", input_message_content:"TEXT 2"}           
        ]
   }; 
answerInlineQuery(iqid, result);

I have turned on Inline Mode in @BotFather. My bot is also receiving inline queries and for every request I can see my inline query id properly & I can also see the result receiving as [object Object]. But, the problem is I'm not getting any results.

REF: In answerinlinequery, the results should be a JSON-serialized array of results for the inline query using any of these results.

Can anyone point out where am I going wrong ?

After many attempts I found solution:

Here there are an inline answer with three results

****Be careful :change value of document_file_id with a sample file_id from your bot else you will see an error

//your bot token placed here
const token = "";
tgmsg('answerInlineQuery', {

    "inline_query_id": update['inline_query']['id'],
    "results": JSON.stringify([
        //inline result of an article with thumbnail photo
        {
            "type": "article",
            "id": "1",
            "title": "chek inline keybord ",
            "description": "test ",
            "caption": "caption",
            "input_message_content": {
                "message_text": "you can share inline keyboard to other chat"

            input_message_content: {

            },
            reply_markup: {

        //inline result of a cached telegram document with inline keyboard

                ]
            }

        }
    ])

function tgmsg(method, data) {
    var options = {
        'method': 'post',
        'contentType': 'application/json',
        'payload': JSON.stringify(data)
    };
    var responselk = UrlFetchApp.fetch('https://api.telegram.org/bot' + token + '/' + method, options);
}

Answer 2

The id field for a InlineQueryResultArticle must be unique for each result. However you are setting the id as iqid for both results.

You should replace them with custom ids.

 var result= {
    InlineQueryResultArticle:[
       {type:'article',id: "1", title:"RESULT 1", input_message_content:"TEXT 1"},
       {type:'article',id: "2", title:"RESULT 2", input_message_content:"TEXT 2"}           
    ]
};
