InputMediaAnimation

Represents an animation file (GIF or H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video without sound) to be sent.

📝 Schema

Field	Type	Description
`type`	`string`	Type of the result, must be animation
`media`	`string`	File to send. Pass a file_id to send a file that exists on the Bale servers (recommended), pass an HTTP URL for Bale to get a file from the Internet, or pass “`attach://<file_attach_name>`” to upload a new one using `multipart/form-data` under `<file_attach_name>` name.
`thumbnail`	`InputFile`, `string`	Optional. Thumbnail of the file sent; can be ignored if thumbnail generation for the file is supported server-side. The thumbnail should be in JPEG format and less than 200 kB in size. A thumbnail's width and height should not exceed 320. Ignored if the file is not uploaded using `multipart/form-data`. Thumbnails can't be reused and can be only uploaded as a new file, so you can pass “`attach://<file_attach_name>`” if the thumbnail was uploaded using `multipart/form-data` under `<file_attach_name>`.
`caption`	`string`	Optional. Caption of the animation to be sent, 0-1024 characters after entities parsing
`width`	`Integer`	Optional. Animation width
`height`	`Integer`	Optional. Animation height
`duration`	`Integer`	Optional. Animation duration in seconds
