Why is the picture not updating in telegram bot?

Question

Python

I'm making a bot to generate random cats. I take the url https://thiscatdoesnotexist.com/ . But the image is not updated. What to do?

if message.text == '!кот':
        bot.send_photo(message.chat.id,
                        f'https://thiscatdoesnotexist.com/', reply_markup=klikeordislike)

Answer 1

Most likely telegram caches the request and then uses the photo from the cache. Just upload the file and then send

import requests

r = requests.get('https://thiscatdoesnotexist.com')
with open('image_temp.jpg', 'wb') as f:
    f.write(r.content)
bot.send_photo(message.chat.id, open('image_temp.jpg', 'rb'))

It is possible without saving the file, of course,

import requests
from PIL import Image
import io

r = requests.get('https://thiscatdoesnotexist.com')
bot.send_photo(message.chat.id, Image.open(io.BytesIO(r.content)))
