Telegram bot run_repeating with python-telegram-bot library

Question

I'm just starting to discover how to build a bot with python. I'm trying to send a message at certain time. Seems that the callback_minute function won't accept more than one arguments.I read a lot of example, I read the documentation regarding run_repeating function but I can't fix this issue...

my target is to get the chat_id dinamically. Someone can help me?

I get below error:

Answer 1

Try to remove update from callback_minute() like this:

def callback_minute(self, context):
    #-1001198785547
    context.bot.send_message(
        chat_id=update.effective_chat.id,
        text='tempoooooo'
    )

There is no update delivered when executing a job.
