Document

This object represents a general file (as opposed to photos, voice messages and audio files).

📝 Schema

Field	Type	Description
`file_id`	`String`	Identifier for this file, which can be used to download or reuse the file
`file_unique_id`	`String`	Unique identifier for this file, which is supposed to be the same over time and for different bots. Can't be used to download or reuse the file.
`thumbnail`	`PhotoSize`	Optional. Document thumbnail as defined by the sender
`file_name`	`String`	Optional. Original filename as defined by the sender
`mime_type`	`String`	Optional. MIME type of the file as defined by the sender
`file_size`	`Integer`	Optional. File size in bytes. It can be bigger than 2^31 and some programming languages may have difficulty/silent defects in interpreting it. But it has at most 52 significant bits, so a signed 64-bit integer or double-precision float type are safe for storing this value.
