How to get the name of a button by clicking on it? – Telegram API

I am developing a telegram bot in the Python programming language using the telebot library (pyTelegramBotApi). At the moment when I’m making buttons, I decided to use InlineKeyboardMarkup. The following questions arise, how to get the name of this button by clicking on the button. I need to get the index of an item in the list by the name I need to get from the button name.

@bot.callback_query_handler(func=lambda call: True)

def callback_query(call):

    if call.data == 'SUBCATEGORIES_BTN':

        sub_id = names.index(???) # Here I have to insert the name from the button name

    @bot.message_handler(content_types=['text'])

    def text(message):

    if message.text = 'SUBCATEGORIES_BTN':

     sub_id = names.index(f'{message.text}')

    There is no such thing as a button ‘name’.

    The only value that is returned by Telgram is the data attribute (called callback_data) that you’ve provided on the button. The text the user sees on the button is not given.

    The data is available as call.data as you’re already using in your code.
