Inline keyboard without URL, just text

[dehghani-mehdi]

Seems like url parameter is optional in inline keyboard ref, but I could not use inline keyboard without that.

Bug Report

I have read:

• Usage information
• Help information

I am using the latest version of the library.

Expected Behavior

Can use inline keyboard without url

Actual Behavior

I got this error message:

Can't parse inline keyboard button: Text buttons are unallowed in the inline keyboard

Steps to reproduce the Behavior

Sample code:

bot.sendMessage(msg.chat.id, 'Hello', {
        reply_markup: {
            inline_keyboard: [
                [{
                    text: 'my button'
                }]
            ]
        }
    });

With url code works.

bot.sendMessage(msg.chat.id, 'Hello', {
        reply_markup: {
            inline_keyboard: [
                [{
                    text: 'my button',
                    url: 'www.somewhere.com'
                }]
            ]
        }
    });

Thanks.

Use an empty callback_data in text button. That should work.

{
    reply_markup: {
        inline_keyboard: [
            [{
                text: "my button",
                callback_data: "",
             }]
        ]
    }
}

According to Telegram Official Bot API,

InlineKeyboardButton
This object represents one button of an inline keyboard. You must use exactly one of the optional fields.

You need to choose one from url, callback_data , switch_inline_query , switch_inline_query_current_chat , callback_game , pay.

@alexandercerutti your code doesn't work, but helped me, thanks. working code is as follow:

{
    reply_markup: {
        inline_keyboard: [
            [{
                text: "my button",
                callback_data: "whatever",
             }]
        ]
    }
