Send message to group

You can send the message to any group by using chatID or group name, chatID will used if you specify the id field in the form, so if you want to send by name, only use name.

Paramaters:

  • id (optional if name given): the chat ID
  • name (optional): group name
  • message: the message

Here the endpoint:

  • /send-group-message
  • /send-message
  • /send-file

Here the way to get the groups info (including ID & name):

  • Send a message to the API number !groups
  • The API will replying with the groups info
  • Use the ID to send a message

Downloading media

I add an example to downloading the message media if exists. Please check it in on message event!

We use mime-types package to get the file extension by it's mimetype, so we can download all of the type of media message.

And we decided (for this example) to use time as the filename, because the media filename is not certain exists.
