Hey folks, I’m scratching my head over this one. My local Telegram bot server’s been working great for months, but I hit a snag trying to use the new sendPaidMedia method. Keep getting a 404 error saying the method’s not found.
Weird thing is, it works fine with the official Telegram API. I’m thinking maybe my local server needs an update? But I’m lost on how to do that. Searched high and low online, but no luck - guess it’s too new a feature.
All the other methods are working just fine locally. It’s just this sendPaidMedia giving me grief. Anyone run into this or know how to fix it? Really appreciate any help!
yo, had the same prob last week. turned out my local server was way outta date. gotta grab the latest version from telegram’s github. backup ur stuff first tho! after updating, restart everything and boom - sendPaidMedia should work. if not, hit up BotFather and check ur bot’s permissions. good luck man!
I encountered this exact issue recently. The ‘sendPaidMedia’ method is relatively new, so older local server versions don’t support it. To resolve this, you’ll need to update your local Telegram bot server software.
Check the Telegram Bot API documentation for the latest version. Download and install it, making sure to back up your current setup first. After updating, restart your server and reinitialize your bot.
If problems persist, verify your bot’s permissions in the BotFather settings. New methods sometimes require additional permissions. Also, ensure your bot’s token is still valid and hasn’t expired.
Lastly, if you’re using a third-party library to interact with the Telegram API, make sure it’s up to date and supports the new method. Some libraries might lag behind in implementing newer features.
I ran into a similar issue with my local Telegram bot server a few weeks back. Turns out, the ‘sendPaidMedia’ method is pretty new and wasn’t included in older versions of the server software. What worked for me was updating the bot API library I was using.
First, check your current version. Then, head to the Telegram Bot API GitHub repo and grab the latest release. Make sure to back up your existing setup before making any changes. After updating, I had to restart my server and re-initialize the bot. That did the trick for me - ‘sendPaidMedia’ started working like a charm.
If you’re still having trouble after updating, double-check your bot’s permissions on Telegram’s side. Sometimes new methods require additional bot settings to be enabled. Hope this helps you get unstuck!
