-* Install from source
+This API is tested with Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Pypy and Pypy 3.
+There are two ways to install the library:
+
+* Installation using pip (a Python package manager)*:
+
+```
+$ pip install pyTelegramBotAPI
+```
+* Installation from source (requires git):
 
 ```
 $ git clone https://github.com/eternnoir/pyTelegramBotAPI.git

 ```
 
-* or install with pip
+It is generally recommended to use the first option.
 
-```
-$ pip install pyTelegramBotAPI
-```
+**While the API is production-ready, it is still under development and it has regular updates, do not forget to update it regularly by calling `pip install pytelegrambotapi --upgrade`*
 
-## Example
+## Writing your first bot
 
-* Sending a message.
+### Prerequisites
 
+It is presumed that you [have obtained an API token with @BotFather](https://core.telegram.org/bots#botfather). We will call this token `TOKEN`.
+Furthermore, you have basic knowledge of the Python programming language and more importantly [the Telegram Bot API](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api).
+
+### A simple echo bot
+
+The TeleBot class (defined in \__init__.py) encapsulates all API calls in a single class. It provides functions such as `send_xyz` (`send_message`, `send_document` etc.) and several ways to listen for incoming messages.
+
+Create a file called `echo_bot.py`.
+Then, open the file and create an instance of the TeleBot class.
 ```python
 import telebot
 
-TOKEN = '<token string>'
-
-tb = telebot.TeleBot(TOKEN)
-# tb.send_message(chatid, message)
-tb.send_message(281281, 'gogo power ranger')
+bot = telebot.TeleBot("TOKEN")
 ```
+*Note: Make sure to actually replace TOKEN with your own API token.*
 
-* Echo Bot
+After that declaration, we need to register some so-called message handlers. Message handlers define filters which a message must pass. If a message passes the filter, the decorated function is called and the incoming message is passed as an argument.
+
+Let's define a message handler which handles incoming `/start` and `/help` commands.
+```python
+@bot.message_handler(commands=['start', 'help'])
+def send_welcome(message):
+	bot.reply_to(message, "Howdy, how are you doing?")
+```
+A function which is decorated by a message handler __can have an arbitrary name, however, it must have only one parameter (the message)__.
+
+Let's add another handler:
+```python
+@bot.message_handler(func=lambda m: True)
+def echo_all(message):
+	bot.reply_to(message, message.text)
+```
+This one echoes all incoming text messages back to the sender. It uses a lambda function to test a message. If the lambda returns True, the message is handled by the decorated function. Since we want all messages to be handled by this function, we simply always return True.
+
+*Note: all handlers are tested in the order in which they were declared*
+
+We now have a basic bot which replies a static message to "/start" and "/help" commands and which echoes the rest of the sent messages. To start the bot, add the following to our source file:
+```python
+bot.polling()
+```
+Alright, that's it! Our source file now looks like this:
+```python
+import telebot
+
+bot = telebot.TeleBot("TOKEN")
+
+@bot.message_handler(commands=['start', 'help'])
+def send_welcome(message):
+	bot.reply_to(message, "Howdy, how are you doing?")
+
+@bot.message_handler(func=lambda message: True)
+def echo_all(message):
+	bot.reply_to(message, message.text)
+
+bot.polling()
+```
+To start the bot, simply open up a terminal and enter `python echo_bot.py` to run the bot! Test it by sending commands ('/start' and '/help') and arbitrary text messages.
+
+## General API Documentation
+
+### Types
+
+All types are defined in types.py. They are all completely in line with the [Telegram API's definition of the types](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#available-types), except for the Message's `from` field, which is renamed to `from_user` (because `from` is a Python reserved token). Thus, attributes such as `message_id` can be accessed directly with `message.message_id`. Note that `message.chat` can be either an instance of `User` or `GroupChat` (see [How can I distinguish a User and a GroupChat in message.chat?](#how-can-i-distinguish-a-user-and-a-groupchat-in-messagechat)).
+
+The Message object also has a `content_type`attribute, which defines the type of the Message. `content_type` can be one of the following strings:
+`text`, `audio`, `document`, `photo`, `sticker`, `video`, `video_note`, `voice`, `location`, `contact`, `new_chat_member`, `left_chat_member`, `new_chat_title`, `new_chat_photo`, `delete_chat_photo`, `group_chat_created`, `supergroup_chat_created`, `channel_chat_created`, `migrate_to_chat_id`, `migrate_from_chat_id`, `pinned_message`.
+
+You can use some types in one function. Example:
+
+```content_types=["text", "sticker", "pinned_message", "photo", "audio"]```
+
+### Methods
+
+All [API methods](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#available-methods) are located in the TeleBot class. They are renamed to follow common Python naming conventions. E.g. `getMe` is renamed to `get_me` and `sendMessage` to `send_message`.
+
+### General use of the API
+
+Outlined below are some general use cases of the API.
+
+#### Message handlers
+A message handler is a function that is decorated with the `message_handler` decorator of a TeleBot instance. Message handlers consist of one or multiple filters.
+Each filter much return True for a certain message in order for a message handler to become eligible to handle that message. A message handler is declared in the following way (provided `bot` is an instance of TeleBot):
+```python
+@bot.message_handler(filters)
+def function_name(message):
+	bot.reply_to(message, "This is a message handler")
+```
+`function_name` is not bound to any restrictions. Any function name is permitted with message handlers. The function must accept at most one argument, which will be the message that the function must handle.
+`filters` is a list of keyword arguments.
+A filter is declared in the following manner: `name=argument`. One handler may have multiple filters.
+TeleBot supports the following filters:
+
+|name|argument(s)|Condition|
+|:---:|---| ---|
+|content_types|list of strings (default `['text']`)|`True` if message.content_type is in the list of strings.|
+|regexp|a regular expression as a string|`True` if `re.search(regexp_arg)` returns `True` and `message.content_type == 'text'` (See [Python Regular Expressions](https://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html)|
+|commands|list of strings|`True` if `message.content_type == 'text'` and `message.text` starts with a command that is in the list of strings.|
+|func|a function (lambda or function reference)|`True` if the lambda or function reference returns `True`
+
+Here are some examples of using the filters and message handlers:
 
 ```python
 import telebot
-import time
+bot = telebot.TeleBot("TOKEN")
 
-TOKEN = '<token_string>'
+# Handles all text messages that contains the commands '/start' or '/help'.
+@bot.message_handler(commands=['start', 'help'])
+def handle_start_help(message):
+	pass
 
+# Handles all sent documents and audio files
+@bot.message_handler(content_types=['document', 'audio'])
+def handle_docs_audio(message):
+	pass
 
-def listener(*messages):
-    """
-    When new messages arrive TeleBot will call this function.
-    """
-    for m in messages:
-        chatid = m.chat.id
-        if m.content_type == 'text':
-            text = m.text
-            tb.send_message(chatid, text)
+# Handles all text messages that match the regular expression
+@bot.message_handler(regexp="SOME_REGEXP")
+def handle_message(message):
+	pass
 
+#Handles all messages for which the lambda returns True
+@bot.message_handler(func=lambda message: message.document.mime_type == 'text/plain', content_types=['document'])
+def handle_text_doc(message):
+	pass
 
-tb = telebot.TeleBot(TOKEN)
-tb.set_update_listener(listener) #register listener
-tb.polling()
+#Which could also be defined as:
+def test_message(message):
+	return message.document.mime_type == 'text/plain'
 
-while True: # Don't let the main Thread end.
+@bot.message_handler(func=test_message, content_types=['document'])
+def handle_text_doc(message)
+	pass
+
+# Handlers can be stacked to create a function which will be called if either message_handler is eligible
+# This handler will be called if the message starts with '/hello' OR is some emoji
+@bot.message_handler(commands=['hello'])
+@bot.message_handler(func=lambda msg: msg.text.encode("utf-8") == SOME_FANCY_EMOJI)
+def send_something(message):
     pass
 ```
+**Important: all handlers are tested in the order in which they were declared**

+#### Reply markup
+All `send_xyz` functions of TeleBot take an optional `reply_markup` argument. This argument must be an instance of `ReplyKeyboardMarkup`, `ReplyKeyboardRemove` or `ForceReply`, which are defined in types.py.
+
+```python
 from telebot import types
 
-markup = types.ReplyKeyboardMarkup()
-markup.add('a', 'v', 'd')
-tb.send_message(chat_id, message, reply_markup=markup)

+# - row_width: integer (default 3)
+# row_width is used in combination with the add() function.
+# It defines how many buttons are fit on each row before continuing on the next row.
+markup = types.ReplyKeyboardMarkup(row_width=2)
+itembtn1 = types.KeyboardButton('a')
+itembtn2 = types.KeyboardButton('v')
+itembtn3 = types.KeyboardButton('d')
+markup.add(itembtn1, itembtn2, itembtn3)

+
+### Inline Mode
+
+More information about [Inline mode](https://core.telegram.org/bots/inline).
+
+#### inline_handler
+
+Now, you can use inline_handler to get inline_query in telebot.
+
+```python
+
+@bot.inline_handler(lambda query: query.query == 'text')
+def query_text(inline_query):
+    # Query message is text
+```
+
+
+#### chosen_inline_handler
+
+Use chosen_inline_handler to get chosen_inline_result in telebot. Don't forgot add the /setinlinefeedback
+command for @Botfather.
+
+More information : [collecting-feedback](https://core.telegram.org/bots/inline#collecting-feedback)
+
+```python
+@bot.chosen_inline_handler(func=lambda chosen_inline_result: True)
+def test_chosen(chosen_inline_result):
+    # Process all chosen_inline_result.
+```
+
+#### answer_inline_query
+
+```python
+@bot.inline_handler(lambda query: query.query == 'text')
+def query_text(inline_query):
+    try:
+        r = types.InlineQueryResultArticle('1', 'Result', types.InputTextMessageContent('Result message.'))
+        r2 = types.InlineQueryResultArticle('2', 'Result2', types.InputTextMessageContent('Result message2.'))
+        bot.answer_inline_query(inline_query.id, [r, r2])
+    except Exception as e:
+        print(e)
+
+```
+### Working with entities:
+This object represents one special entity in a text message. For example, hashtags, usernames, URLs, etc.
+Attributes:
+* `type`
+* `url`
+* `offset`
+* `length`
+* `user`
+
+
+**Here's an Example:**`message.entities[num].<attribute>`<br>
+Here `num` is the entity number or order of entity in a reply, for if incase there are multiple entities in the reply/message.<br>
+`message.entities` returns a list of entities object. <br>
+`message.entities[0].type` would give the type of the first entity<br>
+Refer [Bot Api](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#messageentity) for extra details
+
+## Advanced use of the API
+
+### Asynchronous delivery of messages
+There exists an implementation of TeleBot which executes all `send_xyz` and the `get_me` functions asynchronously. This can speed up you bot __significantly__, but it has unwanted side effects if used without caution.
+To enable this behaviour, create an instance of AsyncTeleBot instead of TeleBot.
+```python
+tb = telebot.AsyncTeleBot("TOKEN")
+```
+Now, every function that calls the Telegram API is executed in a separate Thread. The functions are modified to return an AsyncTask instance (defined in util.py). Using AsyncTeleBot allows you to do the following:
+```python
+import telebot
+
+tb = telebot.AsyncTeleBot("TOKEN")
+task = tb.get_me() # Execute an API call
+# Do some other operations...
+a = 0
+for a in range(100):
+	a += 10
+
+result = task.wait() # Get the result of the execution
+```
+*Note: if you execute send_xyz functions after eachother without calling wait(), the order in which messages are delivered might be wrong.*
+
+### Sending large text messages
+Sometimes you must send messages that exceed 5000 characters. The Telegram API can not handle that many characters in one request, so we need to split the message in multiples. Here is how to do that using the API:
+```python
+from telebot import util
+large_text = open("large_text.txt", "rb").read()
+
+# Split the text each 3000 characters.
+# split_string returns a list with the splitted text.
+splitted_text = util.split_string(large_text, 3000)
+for text in splitted_text:
+	tb.send_message(chat_id, text)
+```
+### Controlling the amount of Threads used by TeleBot
+The TeleBot constructor takes the following optional arguments:
+
+ - threaded: True/False (default True). A flag to indicate whether
+   TeleBot should execute message handlers on it's polling Thread.
+
 ### The listener mechanism
-* First, create a TeleBot instance.
+As an alternative to the message handlers, one can also register a function as a listener to TeleBot. Example:
 ```python
-import telebot
+def handle_messages(messages):
+	for message in messages:
+		# Do something with the message
+		bot.reply_to(message, 'Hi')
 
-TOKEN = '<token string>'
-
-bot = telebot.TeleBot(TOKEN)
-```
-* Then, define a listener function.
-```python
-def echo_messages(*messages):
-	"""
-	Echoes all incoming messages of content_type 'text'.
-	"""
-    for m in messages:
-        chatid = m.chat.id
-        if m.content_type == 'text':
-            text = m.text
-            bot.send_message(chatid, text)
-```
-* Now, register your listener with the TeleBot instance and call TeleBot#polling()
-```python
-bot.set_update_listener(echo_messages)
+bot.set_update_listener(handle_messages)
 bot.polling()
-
-while True: # Don't let the main Thread end.
-    pass
 ```
-* use Message's content_type attribute to check the type of Message. Now Message supports content types:
-  * text
-  * audio
-  * document
-  * photo
-  * sticker
-  * video
-  * location
-  * contact
-  * new_chat_participant
-  * left_chat_participant
-  * new_chat_title
-  * new_chat_photo
-  * delete_chat_photo
-  * group_chat_created
-* That's it!
 
-### The decorator mechanism
-* First, create a TeleBot instance.
+### Using web hooks
+When using webhooks telegram sends one Update per call, for processing it you should call process_new_messages([update.message]) when you recieve it.
+
+There are some examples using webhooks in the *examples/webhook_examples* directory.
+
+### Logging
+
+You can use the Telebot module logger to log debug info about Telebot. Use `telebot.logger` to get the logger of the TeleBot module.
+It is possible to add custom logging Handlers to the logger. Refer to the [Python logging module page](https://docs.python.org/2/library/logging.html) for more info.
+
 ```python
-import telebot
+import logging
 
-TOKEN = '<token string>'
-
-bot = telebot.TeleBot(TOKEN)
+logger = telebot.logger
+telebot.logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) # Outputs debug messages to console.
 ```
-* Next, define all of your so-called message handlers and decorate them with @bot.message_handler
+
+### Proxy
+
+You can use proxy for request. `apihelper.proxy` object will use by call `requests` proxies argument.
+
 ```python
-# Handle /start and /help
-@bot.message_handler(commands=['start', 'help'])
-def command_help(message):
-    bot.reply_to(message, "Hello, did someone call for help?")
-    
-# Handles all messages which text matches the regex regexp.
-# See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression
-# This regex matches all sent url's.
-@bot.message_handler(regexp='((https?):((//)|(\\\\))+([\w\d:#@%/;$()~_?\+-=\\\.&](#!)?)*)')
-def command_url(message):
-    bot.reply_to(message, "I shouldn't open that url, should I?")
+from telebot import apihelper
 
-# Handle all sent documents of type 'text/plain'.
-@bot.message_handler(func=lambda message: message.document.mime_type == 'text/plain', content_types=['document'])
-def command_handle_document(message):
-    bot.reply_to(message, "Document received, sir!")
-
-# Default command handler. A lambda expression which always returns True is used for this purpose.
-@bot.message_handler(func=lambda message: True, content_types=['audio', 'video', 'document', 'text', 'location', 'contact', 'sticker'])
-def default_command(message):
-    bot.reply_to(message, "This is the default command handler.")
+apihelper.proxy = {'http', 'http://10.10.1.10:3128'}
 ```
-* And finally, call bot.polling()
+
+If you want to use socket5 proxy you need install dependency `pip install requests[socks]`.
+
 ```python
-bot.polling()
-
-while True: # Don't end the main thread.
-    pass
+proxies = {
+    'http': 'socks5://user:pass@host:port',
+    'https': 'socks5://user:pass@host:port'
+}
 ```
-Use whichever mechanism fits your purpose! It is even possible to mix and match.

+
+Getting started.
+----------------
+
+This API is tested with Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Pypy and
+Pypy 3. There are two ways to install the library:
+
+-  Installation using pip (a Python package manager)\*:
+
+::
+
+    $ pip install pyTelegramBotAPI
+
+-  Installation from source (requires git):
+
+::
+
+    $ git clone https://github.com/eternnoir/pyTelegramBotAPI.git
+    $ cd pyTelegramBotAPI
+    $ python setup.py install
+
+It is generally recommended to use the first option.
+
+\*\*While the API is production-ready, it is still under development and
+it has regular updates, do not forget to update it regularly by calling
+``pip install pytelegrambotapi --upgrade``\ \*
+
+Writing your first bot
+----------------------
+
+Prerequisites
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+It is presumed that you [have obtained an API token with
+@BotFather](https://core.telegram.org/bots#botfather). We will call this
+token ``TOKEN``. Furthermore, you have basic knowledge of the Python
+programming language and more importantly `the Telegram Bot
+API <https://core.telegram.org/bots/api>`__.
+
+A simple echo bot
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The TeleBot class (defined in \_\_init\_\_.py) encapsulates all API
+calls in a single class. It provides functions such as ``send_xyz``
+(``send_message``, ``send_document`` etc.) and several ways to listen
+for incoming messages.
+
+Create a file called ``echo_bot.py``. Then, open the file and create an
+instance of the TeleBot class.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    import telebot
+
+    bot = telebot.TeleBot("TOKEN")
+
+*Note: Make sure to actually replace TOKEN with your own API token.*
+
+After that declaration, we need to register some so-called message
+handlers. Message handlers define filters which a message must pass. If
+a message passes the filter, the decorated function is called and the
+incoming message is passed as an argument.
+
+Let's define a message handler which handles incoming ``/start`` and
+``/help`` commands.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    @bot.message_handler(commands=['start', 'help'])
+    def send_welcome(message):
+        bot.reply_to(message, "Howdy, how are you doing?")
+
+A function which is decorated by a message handler **can have an
+arbitrary name, however, it must have only one parameter (the
+message)**.
+
+Let's add another handler:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    @bot.message_handler(func=lambda m: True)
+    def echo_all(message):
+        bot.reply_to(message, message.text)
+
+This one echoes all incoming text messages back to the sender. It uses a
+lambda function to test a message. If the lambda returns True, the
+message is handled by the decorated function. Since we want all messages
+to be handled by this function, we simply always return True.
+
+*Note: all handlers are tested in the order in which they were declared*
+
+We now have a basic bot which replies a static message to "/start" and
+"/help" commands and which echoes the rest of the sent messages. To
+start the bot, add the following to our source file:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    bot.polling()
+
+Alright, that's it! Our source file now looks like this:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    import telebot
+
+    bot = telebot.TeleBot("TOKEN")
+
+    @bot.message_handler(commands=['start', 'help'])
+    def send_welcome(message):
+        bot.reply_to(message, "Howdy, how are you doing?")
+
+    @bot.message_handler(func=lambda message: True)
+    def echo_all(message):
+        bot.reply_to(message, message.text)
+
+    bot.polling()
+
+To start the bot, simply open up a terminal and enter
+``python echo_bot.py`` to run the bot! Test it by sending commands
+('/start' and '/help') and arbitrary text messages.
+
+General API Documentation
+-------------------------
+
+Types
+~~~~~
+
+All types are defined in types.py. They are all completely in line with
+the `Telegram API's definition of the
+types <https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#available-types>`__, except
+for the Message's ``from`` field, which is renamed to ``from_user``
+(because ``from`` is a Python reserved token). Thus, attributes such as
+``message_id`` can be accessed directly with ``message.message_id``.
+Note that ``message.chat`` can be either an instance of ``User`` or
+``GroupChat`` (see `How can I distinguish a User and a GroupChat in
+message.chat? <#how-can-i-distinguish-a-user-and-a-groupchat-in-messagechat>`__).
+
+The Message object also has a ``content_types``\ attribute, which
+defines the type of the Message. ``content_types`` can be one of the
+following strings: 'text', 'audio', 'document', 'photo', 'sticker',
+'video', 'voice', 'location', 'contact', 'new\_chat\_participant',
+'left\_chat\_participant', 'new\_chat\_title', 'new\_chat\_photo',
+'delete\_chat\_photo', 'group\_chat\_created'.
+
+Methods
+~~~~~~~
+
+All `API
+methods <https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#available-methods>`__ are
+located in the TeleBot class. They are renamed to follow common Python
+naming conventions. E.g. ``getMe`` is renamed to ``get_me`` and
+``sendMessage`` to ``send_message``.
+
+General use of the API
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Outlined below are some general use cases of the API.
+
+Message handlers
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+A message handler is a function that is decorated with the
+``message_handler`` decorator of a TeleBot instance. Message handlers
+consist of one or multiple filters. Each filter much return True for a
+certain message in order for a message handler to become eligible to
+handle that message. A message handler is declared in the following way
+(provided ``bot`` is an instance of TeleBot):
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    @bot.message_handler(filters)
+    def function_name(message):
+        bot.reply_to(message, "This is a message handler")
+
+``function_name`` is not bound to any restrictions. Any function name is
+permitted with message handlers. The function must accept at most one
+argument, which will be the message that the function must handle.
+``filters`` is a list of keyword arguments. A filter is declared in the
+following manner: ``name=argument``. One handler may have multiple
+filters. TeleBot supports the following filters:
+

+
+    # Handles all text messages that contains the commands '/start' or '/help'.
+    @bot.message_handler(commands=['start', 'help'])
+    def handle_start_help(message):
+        pass
+
+    # Handles all sent documents and audio files
+    @bot.message_handler(content_types=['document', 'audio'])
+    def handle_docs_audio(message):
+        pass
+
+    # Handles all text messages that match the regular expression
+    @bot.message_handler(regexp="SOME_REGEXP")
+    def handle_message(message):
+        pass
+
+    #Handles all messages for which the lambda returns True
+    @bot.message_handler(func=lambda message: message.document.mime_type == 'text/plain', content_types=['document'])
+    def handle_text_doc(message):
+        pass
+
+    #Which could also be defined as:
+    def test_message(message):
+        return message.document.mime_type == 'text/plan'
+
+    @bot.message_handler(func=test_message, content_types=['document'])
+    def handle_text_doc(message)
+        pass
+
+    # Handlers can be stacked to create a function which will be called if either message_handler is eligible
+    # This handler will be called if the message starts with '/hello' OR is some emoji
+    @bot.message_handler(commands=['hello'])
+    @bot.message_handler(func=lambda msg: msg.text.encode("utf-8") == SOME_FANCY_EMOJI)
+    def send_something(message):
+        pass
+
+**Important: all handlers are tested in the order in which they were
+declared**
+
+Callback Query Handler
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In bot2.0 update. You can get ``callback_query`` in update object. In
+telebot use ``callback_query_handler`` to process callback\_querys.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    @bot.callback_query_handler(func=lambda call: True)
+    def  test_callback(call):
+        logger.info(call)
+
+TeleBot
+^^^^^^^
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    import telebot
+
+    TOKEN = '<token_string>'
+    tb = telebot.TeleBot(TOKEN) #create a new Telegram Bot object
+

+
+Reply markup
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+All ``send_xyz`` functions of TeleBot take an optional ``reply_markup``
+argument. This argument must be an instance of ``ReplyKeyboardMarkup``,
+``ReplyKeyboardRemove`` or ``ForceReply``, which are defined in types.py.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    from telebot import types
+
+    # Using the ReplyKeyboardMarkup class
+    # It's constructor can take the following optional arguments:
+    # - resize_keyboard: True/False (default False)
+    # - one_time_keyboard: True/False (default False)
+    # - selective: True/False (default False)
+    # - row_width: integer (default 3)
+    # row_width is used in combination with the add() function.
+    # It defines how many buttons are fit on each row before continuing on the next row.
+    markup = types.ReplyKeyboardMarkup(row_width=2)
+    itembtn1 = types.KeyboardButton('a')
+    itembtn2 = types.KeyboardButton('v')
+    itembtn3 = types.KeyboardButton('d')
+    markup.add(itembtn1, itembtn2, itembtn3)
+    tb.send_message(chat_id, "Choose one letter:", reply_markup=markup)
+
+    # or add strings one row at a time:
+    markup = types.ReplyKeyboardMarkup()
+    itembtna = types.KeyboardButton('a')
+    itembtnv = types.KeyboardButton('v')
+    itembtnc = types.KeyboardButton('c')
+    itembtnd = types.KeyboardButton('d')
+    itembtne = types.KeyboardButton('e')
+    markup.row(itembtna, itembtnv)
+    markup.row(itembtnc, itembtnd, itembtne)
+    tb.send_message(chat_id, "Choose one letter:", reply_markup=markup)
+
+The last example yields this result:

+
+inline\_handler
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Now, you can use inline\_handler to get inline\_query in telebot.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+
+    @bot.inline_handler(lambda query: query.query == 'text')
+    def query_text(inline_query):
+        # Query message is text
+
+chosen\_inline\_handler
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Use chosen\_inline\_handler to get chosen\_inline\_result in telebot.
+Don't forgot add the /setinlinefeedback command for @Botfather.
+
+More information :
+`collecting-feedback <https://core.telegram.org/bots/inline#collecting-feedback>`__
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    @bot.chosen_inline_handler(func=lambda chosen_inline_result: True)
+    def test_chosen(chosen_inline_result):
+        # Process all chosen_inline_result.
+
+answer\_inline\_query
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    @bot.inline_handler(lambda query: query.query == 'text')
+    def query_text(inline_query):
+        try:
+            r = types.InlineQueryResultArticle('1', 'Result', 'Result message.')
+            r2 = types.InlineQueryResultArticle('2', 'Result2', 'Result message2.')
+            bot.answer_inline_query(inline_query.id, [r, r2])
+        except Exception as e:
+            print(e)
+
+Advanced use of the API
+-----------------------
+
+Asynchronous delivery of messages
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+There exists an implementation of TeleBot which executes all
+``send_xyz`` and the ``get_me`` functions asynchronously. This can speed
+up you bot **significantly**, but it has unwanted side effects if used
+without caution. To enable this behaviour, create an instance of
+AsyncTeleBot instead of TeleBot.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    tb = telebot.AsyncTeleBot("TOKEN")
+
+Now, every function that calls the Telegram API is executed in a
+separate Thread. The functions are modified to return an AsyncTask
+instance (defined in util.py). Using AsyncTeleBot allows you to do the
+following:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    import telebot
+
+    tb = telebot.AsyncTeleBot("TOKEN")
+    task = tb.get_me() # Execute an API call
+    # Do some other operations...
+    a = 0
+    for a in range(100):
+        a += 10
+
+    result = task.wait() # Get the result of the execution
+
+*Note: if you execute send\_xyz functions after eachother without
+calling wait(), the order in which messages are delivered might be
+wrong.*
+
+Sending large text messages
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Sometimes you must send messages that exceed 5000 characters. The
+Telegram API can not handle that many characters in one request, so we
+need to split the message in multiples. Here is how to do that using the
+API:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    from telebot import util
+    large_text = open("large_text.txt", "rb").read()
+
+    # Split the text each 3000 characters.
+    # split_string returns a list with the splitted text.
+    splitted_text = util.split_string(large_text, 3000)
+    for text in splitted_text:
+        tb.send_message(chat_id, text)
+
+Controlling the amount of Threads used by TeleBot
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The TeleBot constructor takes the following optional arguments:
+
+-  create\_threads: True/False (default True). A flag to indicate
+   whether TeleBot should execute message handlers on it's polling
+   Thread.
+-  num\_threads: integer (default 4). Controls the amount of
+   WorkerThreads created for the internal thread pool that TeleBot uses
+   to execute message handlers. Is not used when create\_threads is
+   False.
+
+The listener mechanism
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As an alternative to the message handlers, one can also register a
+function as a listener to TeleBot. Example:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    def handle_messages(messages):
+        for message in messsages:
+            # Do something with the message
+            bot.reply_to(message, 'Hi')
+
+    bot.set_update_listener(handle_messages)
+    bot.polling()
+
+Using webhooks
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When using webhooks telegram sends one Update per call, for processing
+it you should call process\_new\_messages([update.message]) when you
+recieve it.
+
+There are some examples using webhooks in the
+*examples/webhook\_examples* directory.
+
+Logging
+~~~~~~~
+
+You can use the Telebot module logger to log debug info about Telebot.
+Use ``telebot.logger`` to get the logger of the TeleBot module. It is
+possible to add custom logging Handlers to the logger. Refer to the
+`Python logging module
+page <https://docs.python.org/2/library/logging.html>`__ for more info.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    import logging
+
+    logger = telebot.logger
+    telebot.logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) # Outputs debug messages to console.
+
+F.A.Q.
+------
+
+Bot 2.0
+~~~~~~~
+
+April 9,2016 Telegram release new bot 2.0 API, which has a drastic
+revision especially for the change of method's interface.If you want to
+update to the latest version, please make sure you've switched bot's
+code to bot 2.0 method interface.
+
+`More information about pyTelegramBotAPI support
+bot2.0 <https://github.com/eternnoir/pyTelegramBotAPI/issues/130>`__
+
+How can I distinguish a User and a GroupChat in message.chat?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Telegram Bot API support new type Chat for message.chat.
+
+-  Check the ``type`` attribute in ``Chat`` object:
+-  \`\`\`python if message.chat.type == “private”: # private chat
+   message
+
+if message.chat.type == “group”: # group chat message
+
+if message.chat.type == “supergroup”: # supergroup chat message
+
+if message.chat.type == “channel”: # channel message
+
+\`\`\`
+
+The Telegram Chat Group
+-----------------------
+
+Get help. Discuss. Chat.
+
+-  Join the pyTelegramBotAPI Telegram Chat Group
+-  Messge to @eternnoir by telegram for Invitation.
+-  We now have a Telegram Channel as well! Keep yourself up to date with
+   API changes, and `join it <https://telegram.me/pytelegrambotapi>`__.

+# This example shows how to implement deep linking (https://core.telegram.org/bots#deep-linking)
+# with the pyTelegramBotAPI.
+# Note: This is not a working, production-ready sample.
+#
+# In this example we are connecting a user account on a website with a Telegram bot.
+# Implementing this will enable you to push notifications (and other content) to your users' Telegram account.
+# In this explanation the word 'database' can refer to any form of key-value storage.
+# The deep linking explained:
+#
+# 1.	Let the user log in on an actual website with actual username-password authentication.
+#
+# 2. 	Generate a unique hashcode (we will call it unique_code)
+#
+# 3. 	Save unique_code->username to the database.
+#
+# 4. 	Show the user the URL https://telegram.me/YOURBOTNAME?start=unique_code
+#
+# 5. 	Now as soon as the user opens this URL in Telegram and presses 'Start',
+#       your bot will receive a text message containing '/start unique_code',
+#       where unique_code is of course replaced by the actual hashcode.
+#
+# 6. 	Let the bot retrieve the username by querying the database for unique_code.
+#
+# 7. 	Save chat_id->username to the database.
+#
+# 8. 	Now when your bot receives another message, it can query message.chat.id in the database
+#       to check if the message is from this specific user. (And handle accordingly) or
+#       you can push messages to the user using his chat id.
+#
+# Steps 1 to 4 will have to be implemented in a web server, using a language such as PHP, Python, C# or Java. These
+# steps are not shown here. Only steps 5 to 7 are illustrated, some in pseudo-code, with this example.

+# Webhook examples using pyTelegramBotAPI
+
+There are 4 examples in this directory using different libraries:
+
+* **Python (CPython):** *webhook_cpython_echo_bot.py*
+  * **Pros:**
+    * Official python libraries, it works out of the box (doesn't require to
+      install anything).
+    * Works with Python 2 and Python 3 (need to be converted with 2to3).
+  * **Cons:**
+    * Ugly code.
+    * Many things to handle yourself, this can lead to errors.
+    * Not powerful, do the trick but the performance is low.
+
+* **CherryPy (3.8.0):** *webhook_cherrypy_echo_bot.py*
+  * **Pros:**
+    * It's a web application framework, cleaner code, uses objects for defining
+      the web application.
+    * Very good performance.
+    * The project seems to be active, latest version is recent.
+    * Works with Python 2 and Python 3.
+  * **Cons:**
+    * Some things are not very intuitive, reading the doc is a must.
+
+* **Flask (0.10.1):** *webhook_flask_echo_bot.py*
+  * **Pros:**
+    * It's a web application framework, cleaner code, uses decorator which can
+      be nice.
+    * Good performance.
+    * It's intuitive if you know how web application works.
+  * **Cons:**
+    * The project seems not to be very active, latest version dates 2013.
+    * They don't recommend to use it with Python 3, but may work.
+    * May be a oversized for just handling webhook petitions.
+    
+* **aiohttp (1.2.0):** *webhook_aiohttp_echo_bot.py*
+  * **Pros:**
+    * It's a web application framework
+    * Python 3 compatible
+    * Asynchronous, excellent perfomance
+    * Utilizes new async/await syntax
+  * **Cons:**
+    * Requires Python 3.4.2+, don't work with Python 2
