Telegram API, throw a picture with a link, but don't show the link, how?

Question

Python

Is it possible to throw a picture with a link, for example

https://pp.userapi.com/c841220/v841220591/667c8/16VMgxEjb94.jpg

and at the output just get a picture in the chat?
The link is thrown by the bot via send_message.

Answer 1

Just wrap the image in a tag <a>and add ​it as text. Then the picture will be sent without a visible link:

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

Answer 2

Solution to your problem: instead of send_message send_photo

bot.send_photo(message.chat.id, 'https://pp.userapi.com/c841220/v841220591/667c8/16VMgxEjb94.jpg')

Answer 3

Заверни картинку в ссылку . И отправляй как текст с параметром parse_mode = "HTML".
text ='<a href="https://pp.userapi.com/c841220/v841220591/667c8/16VMgxEjb94.jpg" >Любое название </a>'
