How to send many photos using Telegram Bot Api, Python?

Question

Python

I am writing a bot using PyTelegramBotApi , there was a need to send a lot of photos, preferably in one message (along with text), well, or in several messages. Every time there is an error, does not allow to send. Maybe there is some method in the API that allows you to perform many of the same operations, or is there a way to send a lot of photos?
Thank you very much
Here is the code:
for j in vkarr[2]:
time.sleep(.25)
urllib.request.urlretrieve(j,'temp.jpg')
img=open('temp.jpg','rb')
bot .send_chat_action(message.from_user.id, 'upload_photo') bot.send_photo
(message.from_user.id,img)
img.close()

Answer 1

I solved the issue like this:
bot.send_media_group(chatid,
[InputMediaPhoto(msg.message.photo.file_id),
InputMediaVideo(msg.message.video.file_id)])

Answer 2

Telegram Bot API does not provide such mechanisms. If you want to send multiple photos - make a loop.

def send_many(photos, id):
    for p in photos:
        bot.send_photo(id, p)

You can also send links by regular messages, telegram will upload pictures.
To make it look nice, wrap the url in a tag and set parse_mode="HTML":

bot.send_message(id, '<a href="IMG_URL">&#8203;</a>',
                 parse_mode="HTML")

PS Telegram has a limit on the number of messages per minute.
