Getting Username

[Alirezaies]

Hello,
Thanks For Your Good Work On This Repository.
Honestly I'm New To Telegram Bots And I Have A Question:

I Know That update.message.chat_id Returns The User's Chat ID, But I Need To Know How To Get User's Username Or First Name And/Or Last Name.

I've Found This On Telegram's Documentation But I Don't Know How To Use It ( I Tried bot.getChatMember(update.message.chat_id) But No Result)

Sorry For Newbie Question.
Thanks

@Alirezaies You can use update.message.from_user which is a User object.
Example: update.message.from_user.first_name

Ok I Used bot.sendMessage(chat_id, update.message.from_user) Which Didn't Return Me Anything,
But I've Found Another Solution, Which Is bot.getChat(update.message.chat_id) Which Returns A Dictionary With All Available Information.

@Alirezaies bot.sendMessage(chat_id, update.message.from_user) is faulty, because sendMessage expects a string, not a User object.

ok I used bot.sendMessage(update.message.chat_id, str(update.message.from_user.username)) And It Worked For Me.
Thanks

How to get bot's username ?

def funtion_example(update, context):
    print(update.message.from_user['username'])

No, that gives the username of the sender. The bot's username is given by bot.name, as documented here. In callbacks, the bot is available as context.bot.
