Node.js Telegram Bot API send an image with text

To send an image with text using the Telegram Bot API in Node.js, you can use the node-fetch library to make HTTP requests and the FormData module to handle multipart/form-data requests for uploading images. First, install the required modules:

npm install node-fetch

Here's an example code snippet to send an image with text using the Telegram Bot API:

const fetch = require('node-fetch');
const FormData = require('form-data');

const BOT_TOKEN = 'YOUR_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN';
const CHAT_ID = 'TARGET_CHAT_ID';

async function sendImageWithText() {
  const photoUrl = 'URL_TO_YOUR_IMAGE'; // Replace with the URL of your image

  const form = new FormData();
  form.append('chat_id', CHAT_ID);
  form.append('photo', photoUrl);
  form.append('caption', 'Your text caption goes here');

  try {
    const response = await fetch(`https://api.telegram.org/bot${BOT_TOKEN}/sendPhoto`, {
      method: 'POST',
      body: form,
      headers: form.getHeaders(),
    });

    const responseData = await response.json();
    console.log(responseData);

    if (responseData.ok) {
      console.log('Image sent successfully!');
    } else {
      console.error('Failed to send image:', responseData.description);
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error sending image:', error.message);
  }
}

sendImageWithText();

Make sure to replace 'YOUR_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN' and 'TARGET_CHAT_ID' with your actual Telegram bot token and the chat ID where you want to send the image. Also, replace 'URL_TO_YOUR_IMAGE' with the actual URL of the image you want to send.

Note: This example assumes that you have a direct URL to the image. If you have the image as a file on your server, you may need to use a different approach to upload the file. Adjust the code accordingly based on your specific use case.
