content¶

The response body from an HTTP request — what's inside the envelope.

What is it?¶

content is the response body from a completed HTTP request. It's a shortcut for http_response.response.content — the raw (or parsed) payload the remote server sent back.

Only exists inside HTTP callback commands — the commands that run after an HTTP request finishes. Normal Telegram commands don't have one. They weren't invited to the HTTP party.

When would you use it?¶

• Read a plain-text API response
• Grab the raw body before deciding how to parse it
• Quick access when you don't need the full http_response wrapper

For parsed JSON, prefer response.data when response.isJson is true. For headers and status codes, use http_response or the response alias.

Try it¶

// Inside an HTTP success callback (/fetchData)
let body = content

// JSON response? Use response.data for the parsed object
if (response.isJson) {
  Bot.sendMessage("API says: " + response.data.message)
} else {
  Bot.sendMessage("Raw response: " + body)
}

What content contains¶

Depends on the response type:

Example JSON response:

{
  "status": true,
  "message": "Hello from API"
}

content may hold the parsed object or the raw string depending on how the response was handled. When in doubt, check response.isJson and use response.data.

Related globals in HTTP callbacks¶

These shorthand aliases are also available:

Your custom context from the original request lives in tbl_options.

Good to know¶

• content is only set in HTTP callback commands — not webhooks or normal Telegram commands
• Exists only during callback execution
• Failed requests route to an error callback — see error
