Is there a way to run async function post_init, which looks like this

async def main(app):
    while True:
        task_1 = asyncio.create_task(asyncio.sleep(300))
        await asyncio.gather(task_1)

yeah i think you are right - sometimes it does more harm by confusing stuff

>>> telegram.Bot()

21 Feb 2023 19:39

wdym was there before

>>> telegram.Bot()

21 Feb 2023 19:38

never thought about asking it lol

>>> telegram.Bot()

21 Feb 2023 19:37

yes, just started coding 6 months ago and learning PTB since a few days so all the documentation is kinda overwhelming if you dont know what to look for exactly. ChatGPT is great help but it doesnt know V20 yet 🥶🥶🥲

21 Feb 2023 19:34

but first how do i start? i am really2 newbie to this i’m sorry.

>>> telegram.Bot()

21 Feb 2023 19:32

ok thx will try to play around with callback_query, right now i am only using message

im having trouble to find someone using his/her telegram id the numeric one not the username

>>> telegram.Bot()

21 Feb 2023 19:29

i also used this documentation
maybe this example could be a bit more practical/noob-friendly

Hello
Is it possible to ban a user for a period of time when they try to send lot of messages in a second?

I mean a built in function in PTB

i actually have a very similar question and probably i'am just too dumb. i am using update.message.from_user like in the conversationbot.py example. i understand that update and context provide dictionaries with user- or context-specific data. but how the heck do i simply access the user_id? :D

21 Feb 2023 18:15

how does the example solve this

>>> telegram.Bot()

21 Feb 2023 18:05

depends very much on your setup, I can't make a general judgement

>>> telegram.Bot()

21 Feb 2023 18:04

thanks for this, would check it out

>>> telegram.Bot()

21 Feb 2023 19:41

but for example it worked great for learning how to implement sqlite3

i guess there has been message and callback_query in v12 already - so ChatGPT should know about it..

>>> telegram.Bot()

21 Feb 2023 19:38

ChatGTP is just a kinda fitting line spewing machine, it wont ease you into coding. I would not suggest using it if you dont understand/can fix the outcome yourself

>>> telegram.Bot()

21 Feb 2023 19:38

wait, i guess message and callback_query was there before ^^

>>> telegram.Bot()

21 Feb 2023 19:34

between message and callback_query?

>>> telegram.Bot()

21 Feb 2023 19:33

i still dont get the real difference ^^

>>> telegram.Bot()

21 Feb 2023 19:31

just read back a few messages

>>> telegram.Bot()

21 Feb 2023 19:30

If u want to get id when user presse a button then use callback_query instead of message

Btw thanks because of u i knew real meaning of update and context

>>> telegram.Bot()

21 Feb 2023 19:29

thank you, already tried it but it wouldnt let me define a variable with it, maybe something else was wrong, but now i am at least sure that the syntax was right

>>> telegram.Bot()

21 Feb 2023 19:27

Use update.message.from_user.id

>>> telegram.Bot()

21 Feb 2023 19:20

Use update.callback_query.from_user instead of update.message.from_user

>>> telegram.Bot()

How to get username and ID of user that pressed an inline button

>>> telegram.Bot()

21 Feb 2023 18:06

okay, thanks for the help

>>> telegram.Bot()

21 Feb 2023 18:05

but i kind of feel i would implement a flask app that only listens for webhook to its url and instantiate another instance of the bot to process payments or do you think this is not the most ideal implementation

>>> telegram.Bot()

receiving webhook requests has little to do with a local API server. Please have a look at Webhooks, Running PTB alongside other asyncio frameworks and customwebhookbot.py
