How can I take chat_id in job_queue run_repeating callback function in telegram bot in python? – Telegram API

I need to take chat_id in repeating task to send users some repeating but personalized messages. How can I take chat_id in repeating func?

def repeating(context):

    context.bot.send_message(chat_id=<CHAT_ID>,text=res["message"])

def main():
    updater = Updater(constants.BOT_API_KEY, use_context= True)


    job_queue = JobQueue()
    dp = updater.dispatcher
    job_queue.set_dispatcher(dp)
    job_queue.run_repeating(callback=repeating,interval=5)


    updater.start_polling()
    job_queue.start()

    updater.idle()

main()

    For me, the easiest way is to store those values in dict.
    In code it should look like this:

    updater = Updater(constants.BOT_API_KEY, use_context= True)
dp = updater.dispatcher

mailinglist={123:'personal message'} 
#you can use a list (mailinglist=[123,1234,...]), but there will be no personal messages

def mailing():
    for user_id in mailinglist: #mailinglist[user_id] gets personal message 
        bot.send_message(user_id, mailinglist[user_id])


if __name__ == '__main__':

    job_queue = JobQueue()
    job_queue.set_dispatcher(dp)
    job_queue.run_repeating(callback=mailing,interval=5)

    updater.idle()

    The methods JobQueue.run_* have a parameter called context that can be used to pass information to the callback. In the callback, the contents of this parameter are available as context.job.context. Please have a look at

    where the latter two showcase how to use the context parameter.

    Also note that you should not manually instantiate a JobQueue – use updater.job_queue instead. Otherwise you’ll also have to take care of actually starting and shutting down the JobQueue.
