Telegram api in php - how to send multiple pictures and text in one message?

Question

PHP

The telegram api has a sendMediaGroup method that allows you to send a bunch of media, but it has a parameter for a text message. There is a sendPhoto method that allows you to send a photo with a caption, but only one. Can I send multiple photos and text in one message?

Answer 1

Add "caption" to the very first media element in the group, then it will be displayed as a caption.
The text limit is the same as for the signature, up to 1024 characters.
The rest of the media elements in the "caption" group must be empty.
