Telegram response 400 when I sent notification in pipeline using Scrapy

Question

I tried sending notification using telegram bot but I got response 400.

My code (in pipeline):

    def sendnotifications(self, token):
        cursor = self.cnx.cursor()
        req = requests
        cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM notificate WHERE token= '"+token+"'")
        notifications = cursor.fetchall()
        for notification in notifications:
            print(notification)
            productid = notification[1]
            url = notification[3]
            name = notification[2]
            old = notification[4]
            new = notification[5]
            price_difference = old - new
            percentage = price_difference / old
            percentage_str = str("%.2f" % (percentage * 100))

            message = "<b>" + name + "</b>" + "nn" + 
                str(old) + " TL >>>> " + 
                str(new) + f" TL - <b>{percentage_str}%</b>" + "nn" + 
                url + "nn" + 
                "https://www.hepsiburada.com/" + "ara?q=" + productid + "nn"

            TOKEN = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
            chat_id = "xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
            tel_url = f"https://api.telegram.org/bot{TOKEN}/sendMessage?chat_id={chat_id}&text={message}"
            
            try:
                r = requests.get(tel_url
                )
                print(r)
            except RequestException:
                return False
        cursor.close()
        return True

I guess I make mistake but I can’t find any solutions.

Thanks for your helps.

Answer 1

if you want to send something that contains html or markdown tags as response, you need to pass it with parsers.

if you are using html add parse_mode=html

if you are using markdown add parse_mode=markdown to the URL

change

tel_url = f"https://api.telegram.org/bot{TOKEN}/sendMessage?chat_id={chat_id}&text={message}"

to

tel_url = f"https://api.telegram.org/bot{TOKEN}/sendMessage?chat_id={chat_id}&text={message}&parse_mode=html"

message need to be URL compatible

do

import urllib
urllib.parse.quote(message)
