Sending a file by URL only works for certaining file types. If you want to upload other types of files you will have to post the file, after saving it on your own server, using multipart/form-data.

Sending by URL
In sendDocument, sending by URL will currently only work for gif, pdf and zip files. [doc]


Sending file in PHP

$filepath = realpath('folder/.attheme');
$post = array('chat_id' => $GLOBALS["chat_id"],'document'=>new CurlFile($filepath));    
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://api.telegram.org/bot" . $GLOBALS["token"] . "/sendDocument");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);   
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

  • Hello! I'm trying to do this with Java. I have a `.gif` file on my computer. To pass it in `sendAnimation` method I need to provide a type `InputFile`. I'm not sure how do I create that type? Telegram API says: `Post the file using multipart/form-data in the usual way that files are uploaded via the browser. 10 MB max size for photos, 50 MB for other files`. Bu then, what is meant by `multipart/form-data`? – parsecer May 06 '19 at 00:47
  • But sendDocument requires a file URL or an existing file ID or some form-data: `File to send. Pass a file_id as String to send a file that exists on the Telegram servers (recommended), pass an HTTP URL as a String for Telegram to get a file from the Internet, or upload a new one using multipart/form-data. `. How to upload a local file using that `multipart/form-data` thing? – parsecer May 06 '19 at 00:52
