When pasting your code:

format_code

Your code has multiple functions with the argument parameter context without it actually being used within the functions. Was this a cut and paste error or is this parameter actually needed within the function definitions?

By the way, there was someone else working on creating their first bot using the telegram.ext module much like you’re attempting to do now.

Try contacting this person: @sreeharsh

The issue is posted here:

Maybe they can advise you how they got theirs working.

I split this post off to a new topic, FYI, from this generically titled one:

…and gave it a basic title; @Soulfan_YT please feel free to edit it to be more specific as you wish.

Just to note,

I happened to see it as I’d previously replied to this issue, but next time please flag the post as “Off topic” so we can promptly topic split it. Thanks.
