Why I can't send sticker by it's id

Question

I want my bot to send special sticker. I got it ID in logs after sending it to bot.

file_id "CAADAgADOQADfyesDlKEqOOd72VKAg"

This is what getUpdates give me But if I try to send it, for example:

https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/sendSticker?chat_id=<id>&file_id=CAADAgADOQADfyesDlKEqOOd72VKAg

It responds"Bad Request: there is no sticker in the request". This is the code and it obviously does nothing:

def stickinmyass(bot, update):
    bot.send_sticker(chat_id=update.message.chat_id, file_id='CAADAgADOQADfyesDlKEqOOd72VKAg')
stickyass = MessageHandler(Filters.sticker, stickinmyass)
dispatcher.add_handler(stickyass)
j = updater.job_queue

The file_id needs to be passed as the sticker parameter for the sendSticker method.

https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/sendSticker?chat_id=<id>&sticker=CAADAgADOQADfyesDlKEqOOd72VKAg

or

bot.send_sticker(chat_id=update.message.chat_id, sticker='CAADAgADOQADfyesDlKEqOOd72VKAg')
