I want when someone sends a message in Telegram, the information of the message is stored in the telegram bot or something else without seeing the other party's message.
I assume you want to do what is known as "ghost mode" which means you read messages but they're not double-checked.
Before I answer your question, I should warn you that Telegram's founder is against such use (see https://twitter.com/durov/status/891227609706536960).
The fun fact is you don't have to do anything to avoid double-checking a message. In fact there is an extra step for that. Therefore, all you need to do is to read the message. You can do so in telethon as simple as this:
#app.on(events.NewMessage())
def read(event):
print(event.message.message)

Recently I've been writing bot which parses site and sends message to users, whenever new information appears. Is it possible to make it on aiogram? Thank you for your answer in advance
Yes. it is.
But you have to store user_id of your users, then when "information appears" you take from your storage user_ids and send message to each user. Also it is unreal to send message for all users in one time due to telegram limits (see here).
I have a bot which polls data regularly from some input and if a specific logic applies, sends a message to a telegram channel.
The messages are only relevant for readers if the reader in the channel more or less directly read the message, i.e. after let's say 30 min, the message is irrelevant. I do not want to delete the message for historic purposes, BUT I'd like to set it to read for everyone.
Is there a way to set the "read"-status for the receivers? Is it possible to do so, i.e. change, for already sent, i.e. previous messages?
To avoid having to keep track of sent messages with their timings, is it even possible to specify that directly when sending the message?
No, this is not possible. The read status can only be changed by the user itself. Anything not mentioned in the official API docs at https://core.telegram.org/bots/api can not be done with Telegram Bots.
As a side note: AFAIK the read status is not binary for each user. This can be observed by noting that viewing a channel message from different devices/clients with the same account will up the view count by more than 1.
I have a doubt. I've been looking for information and haven't found anything. I would like to know if it is possible to send a message with a bot which will be eliminated after a certain time. I'm working with c# but I think other examples will work for me. Thanks in advance.
I thought I would delete my own message after a while but I think it would not be a solution in a well active chat, since there are many messages coming in all the time and I would not know for sure what the id of the message I sent is. I would have to do another algorithm to find out what that id is, and what I was trying to see is if there was some simpler method already implemented in the api for these specific cases. Send messages using the bot with self-destruct after a while.
I'm not sure if telegram API provides that.
but you can implement it in the bot to do that, maybe with "time" or "schedule" in python
I'm having a problem forwarding messages with multiple media files (in my particular case, photos).
I'm using forwardMessage method to forward the message that user sends to bot (which, in some cases, might contain more than one photo):
bot.forwardMessage(admin_id, from_chat_id, message_id)
But, the thing is, according to Telegram API v3.5, the message which contain media group breaks up into array of messages, and hence the bot breaks up the message from user into multiple messages. E.g. if user have sent a message with 3 photos, then the bot forwards 3 messages, each of which contains a photo.
What I want is to forward a message with multiple media files as it is, as one message, not as multiple messages.
I know that probably I can take each photo from each message that the bot receives, put them one-by-one into array, and then send it from the bot using sendMediaGroup method, but I'd like to know if I can get it working with forwardMessage method.
Thanks in advance.
You can't forward original content via forwardMessage, for instance, you can't forward with an inline keyboard.
I think this may be a mistake, you can suggest that to #BotSupport.
Telegram API had updated a method call sendMediaGroup for sending images as album.

Have a look :)
I'm creating a Reddit bot with praw, and I want to have the bot do things based on private messages sent to it. I searched the documentation for a bit, but couldn't find anything on reading private messages, only sending them. I want to get both the title and the content of the message. So how can I do this?
Didn't find it in the docs, but a friend who knows a bit of raw helped me out.
Use for message in r.inbox.messages() (where r is an instance of reddit) to get the messages.
Use message.text to get the content, and message.subject to get the title.
