Question 58275 in Telegram API Question posted in
A comprehensive official documentation can be found here.

telebot.apihelper.ApiTelegramException: A request to the Telegram API was unsuccessful. Error code: 400. Description: Bad Request: chat not found

I copied this code from the docs but I’m getting the above error

import telebot import os

BOT_TOKEN = "My_Bot_Token"
bot=telebot.TeleBot(BOT_TOKEN)
 
@bot.message_handler(commands=['start', 'hello']) 
def send_welcome(message):
    bot.send_message(message, "Howdy, how are you doing?")
     
  
bot.infinity_polling()

Could someone please tell me whats wrong?

    bot.send_message(message, "Howdy, how are you doing?")

    for the send_message method you should pass the chat id of the message instead of the entire message object

    so i assume it’d be something like,

    bot.send_message(messsage.chat.id, "Howdy, how are you doing?")

    Try the following code:

        import telebot
    bot = telebot.TeleBot("yourtoken", parse_mode=None)
    @bot.message_handler(commands=['start'])
    def send_welcome(message):
        bot.reply_to(message, "Smt")
    Login or Signup to reply.
