Introduction to InputPollOption in the Telegram Bot API
Hello friends! Today we want to discuss InputPollOption in the Telegram Bot API. You may know that Telegram is one of the popular platforms for building bots, and it continually adds new capabilities to it. One of these capabilities is the ability to conduct polls using InputPollOption. But what is InputPollOption?
InputPollOption allows you to specify different options for your polls. In other words, if you are going to conduct a poll and want users to be able to choose between different options, you should use this type of input. Interestingly, we will not talk too much about it this time.
In addition to creating options, you can also add some features to these options. For example, you can determine whether your options can be selected multiple times or only a single option. This topic can help you create more engaging polls, attracting more users.
Let's take a look at how to implement this feature beautifully. I have come up with a few lines of code that can be used to create a hidden poll from it.
{
"type": "poll",
"question": "Do you use Telegram bots?",
"options": [
{ "text": "Yes", "vote_count": 0 },
{ "text": "No", "vote_count": 0 },
{ "text": "Maybe", "vote_count": 0 }
],
"is_anonymous": true,
"allows_multiple_answers": false
}
