通过电报的bot API发送照片

Question

I am using telegram bot api (python) and trying to send photo via link, but getting an error:

def model(bot, update):
   pic = 'http://pi.lmcdn.ru/img600x866/T/O/TO263AMZGP37_5925451_1_v2.jpg'
   bot.send_photo(chat_id=update.message.chat_id, photo = pic)

and I get this error

"Wrong file identifier/http url specified"

Has anyone ever encountered such a problem? The link is okay, but it can't be sent as photo. Btw this works well with another links.

Answer 1

I got this! The documentation says

Sending by URL

Other configurations may work but we can't guarantee that they will.

as it was said by other user: "you should send your photos using file_id or multipart/form-data."
