Using the setUserEmojiStatus Function in the Telegram API

Introduction to the setUserEmojiStatus Function in the Telegram API

Hello everyone! Today we would like to discuss an interesting method in the Telegram API called setUserEmojiStatus. This method allows you to change the emoji status of a user. In Telegram, emojis are used as a state or status for users and can convey the user's mood or activity. You can easily update the user's status with this method.

In fact, setUserEmojiStatus enables you to provide a specific emoji to convey your current feelings. For instance, if you have a Telegram bot, you can change the status to a football emoji, letting users know that a new game has started!

An important note is that to use this method, you need specific access. You can only change an emoji status if your bot has that permission. Therefore, it is advisable to be sure that your bot has the necessary access rights before making any changes.

Now, let’s look at how to use this function. First, you need to use your bot token and then send a request to the Telegram API to change the status. Please see the example below:

const axios = require('axios').
const token = 'YOUR_BOT_TOKEN';
const chatId = 'CHAT_ID';
const emoji = '😊';

axios.post(`https://api.telegram.org/bot${token}/setUserEmojiStatus`, {
    chat_id: chatId,
    emoji: emoji
}).then(response => {
    console.log('Emoji status set:', response.data);
}).catch(error => {
    console.error('Error setting emoji status:', error);
});

Code Explanation

In the code above, we initially use the axios library to send requests. After that, we define our bot token and the relevant chat identifier. We then set the desired emoji you want to use. With axios.post, we send a POST request to the setUserEmojiStatus URL. In this request, chat_id and emoji are passed as the body parameters.

In conclusion, using .then allows us to check the response of the request, and if everything is correct, a message will log that the emoji status has been changed. If there is an issue, we will investigate it using .catch.
