Overview

This node operation answers an inline query callback from Telegram. It is used to respond to inline queries sent by users interacting with a Telegram bot, providing a JSON-serialized array of results as the response. This is useful for bots that offer inline search or content suggestions directly within the chat interface.

Use Case Examples

  1. A bot that provides inline search results for GIFs or images based on user input.
  2. A bot that offers inline product suggestions or quick replies in a chat.

Properties

Name Meaning
Query ID Unique identifier for the answered inline query, used to specify which query is being answered.
Results A JSON-serialized array of results to be sent as the answer to the inline query.
Additional Fields Optional parameters to customize the response, such as cache time, whether to show an alert, notification text, and a URL to open.

Output

JSON

  • json
    • inline_query_id - The unique identifier of the inline query answered.
    • results - The array of results sent as the answer to the inline query.
    • cache_time - The cache time set for the inline query results.
    • show_alert - Indicates if an alert was shown instead of a notification.
    • text - Notification text shown to the user.
    • url - URL opened by the user's client if specified.

Dependencies

  • Telegram API access with an API key credential

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the 'Query ID' is correctly obtained from the inline query callback to avoid errors.
  • The 'Results' must be a valid JSON-serialized array; invalid JSON will cause the request to fail.
  • If the bot does not have permission to answer inline queries, the API call will fail.
  • Check that optional fields like 'cache_time' and 'show_alert' are set correctly according to Telegram API specifications.
