How to send an Embedded Image along with text in a Message via Telegram Bot API – Telegram API

Using Telegram Bot API,

I’m aware that it is possible to send an image via https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#sendphoto

However, how can I embed a remote image into a formatted message?

The message I am looking to send, can be compared to a news article with a title in bold, an image, and a longer text with links. I figured out how to create bold text and links with markdown, but I’m failing at inserting images. How can we do that?

    you must set ParseMode in HTML and set your Image Url in A tag like this:

    <a href="' + image + '">&#8205;</a>

    &#8205; -> never show in message

    You can use zero-width space trick. Works for both Markdown and HTML parse mode.

    Markdown:

    $data = [
    'chat_id'    => $chat_id,
    'parse_mode' => 'markdown',
    'text' => "[​​​​​​​​​​​](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/02/Stack_Overflow_logo.svg/200px-Stack_Overflow_logo.svg.png) Some text here.",
];

    Result:

    enter image description here

    Note: The zero-width space is in-between the brackets “[​​​​​​​​​​​]”.

    Method using <a href=http://.......jpg>..</a> will show preview of the image below the text.
    Like this:

    a href sample

    It will look better if you send an image with a caption.

    You should just add captions

    bot.send_video(user_id, video, caption='some interesting text')

    In our case captions are text. look this image

    Using sendPhoto rather than sendMessage is a cleaner way of achieving this, depending on your use case, for example:

    import io
import json
import requests

telegram_bot_token = 'INSERT_TOKEN_HERE'
chat_id = '@INSERT_CHAT_ID_HERE'

bot_url = 'https://api.telegram.org/bot' + telegram_bot_token + '/sendPhoto'
img_url = 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/02/Stack_Overflow_logo.svg/200px-Stack_Overflow_logo.svg.png'

msg_txt = '<b>Stack Overflow Logo</b>'
msg_txt += 'nnStack Overflow solves all our problems'

payload = {
  'chat_id': chat_id,
  'caption': msg_txt,
  'parse_mode': 'html'
}

remote_image = requests.get(img_url)
photo = io.BytesIO(remote_image.content)
photo.name = 'img.png'
files = {'photo': photo}

req = requests.post(url=bot_url, data=payload, files=files)
response = req.json()
print(response)
