解析电报机器人 api 响应

Question

I am trying to edit messages on telegram bot with the editMessageText , but it requires a message_id integer, so i need to somehow parse the telegram response when i send a message with

https://api.telegram.org/bot12345:abcdefghijk-lmnopqrstuvwxyz/sendMessage?text=Some%20Text&chat_id=123456789

it will respond with something like this:

{"ok":true,"result":{"message_id":213557,"from":{"id":bot_id,"is_bot":true,"first_name":"BotName","username":"SpaceTheBot"},"chat":{"id":123456789,"title":"A Group","type":"supergroup"},"date":1612928163,"text":"Some text"}}

so i wanna parse the message_id, so i can edit it later on.

You will need to deserialize the response from Telegram. After that it will be a Python object. In this case because it is a JSON object it will be turned into a dict and can be accessed as such.

import json

response = '{"ok":true,"result":{"message_id":213557,"from":{"id":"bot_id","is_bot":true,"first_name":"BotName","username":"SpaceTheBot"},"chat":{"id":123456789,"title":"A Group","type":"supergroup"},"date":1612928163,"text":"Some text"}}'
result = json.loads(response)

print(result["result"]["message_id"])
>>> 213557

If you are using requests, it has its own JSON encorder/decoders
