If the message is a reply, bot should get id of a user – Telegram API

I am doing a bot-moderator. I am doing a command ‘ban’. if I reply to somebody’s message by typing /ban bot should get its id and restrict him.
my code now:

@bot.messsage_handler(commands=['ban'])

def ban(message):

    #here I should get the id of a user which I replied in Telegram
    #then bot should restrict him.

PyTelegramBotApi

python 3.7

thank you

    You can restrict user at least at 30 seconds.
    code to restrict:

    bot.restrict_chat_member(message.chat.id, 
                         message.from_user.id, 
                         can_send_messages=False, 
                         until_date=int(time.time())+30)
#you can replace 30(seconds) by more.

    unix time

    In Message class, you have a reply_to_message which returns a Message object and you can find user id from this object. If user doesn’t reply to any message it’s equal to None. So this is what you want: message.reply_to_message.from_user

    If you want more information you can read from Telegram bot API or check types.py in library github.
