Node-telegram-bot-api: Inline Keyboard, Callback_query not being called

[shah-smit]

It is amazing tool for NodeJS.

But I am stuck with in-line keyboard.

bot.onText(/(.+)$/, function (msg, match) {
    const opts = {
    reply_markup: {
      inline_keyboard: [
        [
          {
            text: 'Edit Text',
            callback_data: 'edit'
          }
        ]
      ]
    }
  };
  bot.sendMessage(msg.from.id, 'Original Text', opts);
});

bot.on("callback_query", function(callbackQuery) {
    // 'callbackQuery' is of type CallbackQuery
    console.log(callbackQuery);
});

Referring to the above code, callback_query is not executed upon clicking Edit Text inline-button

How can i solve this?

Hey @shah-smit ,

Maybe do it like this?
bot.on("callback_query", function nameOfTheFunction(callbackQuery) {
// do your stuff here
})

[shah-smit]

@reactSearch Thanks for the revert.

Nope, It isnt consol-ing anything. When I do it.

var Bot = require('node-telegram-bot-api');
var TelegramToken = '<TOKEN>';
const bot = new Bot(TelegramToken, {polling: true});
console.log('Bot started...');

bot.onText(/(.+)$/, function (msg, match) {
    const opts = {
    reply_markup: {
      inline_keyboard: [
        [
          {
            text: 'Edit Text',
            callback_data: 'edit'
          }
        ]
      ]
    }
  };
  bot.sendMessage(msg.from.id, 'Original Text', opts);
});

bot.on("callback_query", function onCallbackQuery(callbackQuery) {
    // 'callbackQuery' is of type CallbackQuery
    console.log("query: ",callbackQuery);
});

Any news about it?

[GochoMugo]

Works for me.

[luiguild]

You can share your code @GochoMugo? I've tried do this, but without success... :/

[GochoMugo]

const TelegramBot = require("node-telegram-bot-api");
const bot = new TelegramBot(process.env.TELEGRAM_TOKEN, { polling: true });

bot.onText(/\/callbackquery/, (msg, match) => {
    bot.sendMessage(msg.chat.id, "Click a button won't you!", {
        "reply_markup": {
            "inline_keyboard": [
                [
                    {
                        text: "Click me!",
                        callback_data: "click",
                    },
                ],
            ],
        },
    });
});


bot.on("callback_query", (callbackQuery) => {
    const msg = callbackQuery.message;
    bot.answerCallbackQuery(callbackQuery.id)
        .then(() => bot.sendMessage(msg.chat.id, "You clicked!"));
});

[luiguild]

@GochoMugo I copied your code and put in my bot, when I clicked in the button, appears a 'waiting' icon and nothing happens... do you know why?

[luiguild]

I found the problem, @GochoMugo... in my package.json I had "node-telegram-bot-api": "^0.21.1", changed the version and it's worked! Thanks!

[luiguild]

But my problem now is get the callback going from 'keyboard' object and not only from 'inline_keyboard', it's other procedure? 🤔

[GochoMugo]

Could you write a small demo of what you are trying to achieve? Code is usually more precise. :grinning:

[luiguild]

telegramBot.onText(/\/match/, msg => {
    const opts = {
        reply_to_message_id: msg.message_id,
        reply_markup: JSON.stringify({
            keyboard: [
                ['Opt1'],
                ['Opt2']            
            ],
            one_time_keyboard: true,
            selective: true
        })
    }
    telegramBot.sendMessage(msg.chat.id, 'Select One', opts)
})

I need a callback when user choose the option on keyboard not on inline_keyboard...

[mnb3000]

@luiguild When user presses a button on a regular keyboard they send a message with a text which is displayed on a keyboard. You just need to make

telegramBot.onText(/Opt1/, msg => {
    // Do whatever you need
}

[luiguild]

@mnb3000 but in this case anyone that send one message with the same content, the bot will execute the function 😨

It's not possible using something like callback_data: "Opt1", that is used in inline keyboard?

[mnb3000]

@luiguild nope, that's how regular keyboards work

[luiguild]

So... Ok... I will try another approach... Thank you!! 😃

[luiguild]

BTW, I think that this issue can be closed. Thank's! 🎉

[ravi72munde]

@luiguild what version did you change it to? I'm facing a similar problem.

[GochoMugo]

@ravi72munde I believe the latest version on npm already supports callback queries, etc.

OP has not reacted to any comments. I'll go ahead and assume the issue is resolved by @luiguild's solution above. Thanks everyone. :+1:

const TelegramBot = require("node-telegram-bot-api");
const bot = new TelegramBot(process.env.TELEGRAM_TOKEN, { polling: true });

bot.onText(/\/callbackquery/, (msg, match) => {
    bot.sendMessage(msg.chat.id, "Click a button won't you!", {
        "reply_markup": {
            "inline_keyboard": [
                [
                    {
                        text: "Click me!",
                        callback_data: "click",
                    },
                ],
            ],
        },
    });
});


bot.on("callback_query", (callbackQuery) => {
    const msg = callbackQuery.message;
    bot.answerCallbackQuery(callbackQuery.id)
        .then(() => bot.sendMessage(msg.chat.id, "You clicked!"));
});

IF not Click any buttons ,how many hours it will wait for response. suppose after 3 hours when i click (Click me!)buttons ,what will happen, it will work or not?
is this handle any time response?
is there possible to remove (Click me!)buttons after set of time- for example if not receive any response button will remove or hide after 10 mnts

hi dear,
please check
name ---> callback_data
for example :
after click button and change callback_data
const item = callbackQuery.data;
use
switch- case
please check this image image
