How to send audio files using python-bale-bot?

[okaeiz]

Hi there!
I was wondering how I could send audio files using the library.
For example,
when somebody has clicked a button and sent a callback, the answer of the callback will be an audio message.
Do you have any samples?

Hey @okaeiz,
We haven't specifically written a method for it yet, but if you are coding in the on_callback event, you can use the callback object and go to the message and then access that chat and send an audio file in the chat with the file sending method. (callback.message.chat)

Note: Due to the disturbances created in "Bale", it is not possible to upload through bots, but you can use the file_id of the sound to give it instead of the document.

...
@bot.listen(bale.EventType.CALLBACK)
async def on_callback(callback: bale.CallbackQuery):
    await callback.message.chat.send_document(document = "Your file id", ...)

🔷We will write a special method for it soon.
In the new version (v2.4.4), special methods were prepared.

I mean, if the server is rebooted, then do have to send the audio files to the bot once again?

[kian-ahmadian]

No, it is not necessary.

The files you upload are in "Bale" servers, also the file IDs are the addresses of the files sent.

Could you please share the code snippet which handles the audio_file that is sent to the bot? I could not do it. I am sorry for asking too many questions; I am a Bale newbie.

[kian-ahmadian]

No problem, I am here to answer you.

...
@bot.listen(bale.EventType.MESSAGE)
async def on_callback(message: bale.Message):
    if message.document:
        print(message.document.file_id)

Thanks for that, it works fine right now.
Using this method I could send photos, audio files and video files.
There's an issue with sending video files and GIFs, though. However, I'll create a new discussion for that.
