package telegram // UploadFile is a helper method which provide are three ways to send files // (photos, stickers, audio, media, etc.): // // 1. If the file is already stored somewhere on the Telegram servers, you don't // need to reupload it: each file object has a file_id field, simply pass this // file_id as a parameter instead of uploading. There are no limits for files // sent this way. // 2. Provide Telegram with an *url.URL for the file to be sent. Telegram will // download and send the file. 5 MB max size for photos and 20 MB max for other // types of content. // 3. Post the file using multipart/form-data in the usual way that files are // uploaded via the browser. Use path string, []byte or io.Reader for this. 10 MB // max size for photos, 50 MB for other files. // // Sending by file_id // // - It is not possible to change the file type when resending by file_id. I.e. // a video can't be sent as a photo, a photo can't be sent as a document, etc. // - It is not possible to resend thumbnails. // - Resending a photo by file_id will send all of its sizes. // - file_id is unique for each individual bot and can't be transferred from one // bot to another. // // Sending by URL // // - When sending by *url.URL the target file must have the correct MIME type // (e.g., audio/mpeg for sendAudio, etc.). // - In sendDocument, sending by URL will currently only work for gif, pdf and // zip files. // - To use SendVoice, the file must have the type audio/ogg and be no more than // 1MB in size. 1–20MB voice notes will be sent as files. // - Other configurations may work but we can't guarantee that they will. func (bot *Bot) UploadFile(name string, file InputFile) (*Response, error) { return bot.upload(file, "file", name, "", nil) }
