How to read messages from Telegram group with bot?

问题:

I would like to connect a simple telegram bot to read messages from a group, (where I'm not admin). I already added the bot to the group, but it doesn't work.

Here is the code I have in Python:

import telepot
from pprint import pprint
import time
from telepot.loop import MessageLoop

key = "MY API"

bot = telepot.Bot(key)

def handle(msg):
   pprint(msg)

bot.message_loop(handle)

while 1:
   time.sleep(10)

If I open the chat (of the bot) and write a message, everything works well. But when someone send a message in a group (where I added the bot), even if the bot is in that group, nothing happen. What I'm doing wrong? Do I miss something?

Thanks a lot for the help!

You need to change /setprivacy to Disable, or you can only receive command (starts with /).

You can refer to here for more details.

Your telegram bot should be the admin of group to be able to read messages of the group.

This is an example in Telepot framework. You can do something like this in your favorite framework.

def handle(msg):
    if msg['chat']['id'] == -1001136714808:
        print(msg['text'])
