pyTelegramBotApi unable to get message_id

Question

I am using pyTelegramBotApi and I would like to get the id of the message sent to a chat and then forward it to other chats the problem is that i always get this exception 'AsyncTask' object has no attribute 'message_id' while the message is sent correctly how to solve?

bot = telebot.AsyncTeleBot(bot_token)

res = bot.send_message(cid,message)
try:
    message_id = res.message_id
    print(message_id)
except Exception as e:
    print(e)

Answer 1

Since send_message() is an AsyncTask, you'll need to .wait() until the event is done;

res = bot.send_message(cid,message)
try:
    result = res.wait()
    print(result.message_id)
except Exception as e:
    print(e)
