Python Telegram Bot 设置长长的命令列表

Question

I'd like to add a long list of commands to my Telegram Bot , however in BotFather I can only send a list of commands and descriptions in a text with up to 4,000 characters. If I send the remainder of the commands via another text, the previous list of commands gets deleted, since BotFather thinks this is the "new" list.

Is there a way to set up commands with descriptions directly in my Python script, so that these can be visible to users when typing the /commands in the chat?

Otherwise, is it possible to set commands in bulk in BotFather without using the chat?

Answer 1

Commands lists are limited by design, the point is not to provide a list of every command your bot is capable of handling, but only suggesting the most usual ones.

You can automate your own account to send messages and commands to BotFather and thus automate changing your bot's commands list. Telethon , for instance, allows you to do this.
