How to send messages with multiple images in a telegram channel?

Question

API

There is a channel, the bot sends messages there.

If you use the "sendMessage" method , then it only accepts text, pictures can be attached as previews if there is a URL in the text. 1 picture clings, and it does not look very good.

The " sendMediaGroup " method allows you to send multiple images as an album, but no text.

How to achieve such a result? Multiple photos that can be opened as gallery and text. And all this in one post.

Answer 1

You can use sendMediaGroup . The trick is to set the caption only for the first photo, then the message will be displayed just like in the picture in your question.
