Describe the problem/error/question
I am trying to send a .avi video file to Telegram using an attachment from an email.
I can get it to work with a picture file but not with a document file.
I get the below error:
“400 - {“ok”:false,“error_code”:400,“description”:“Bad Request: wrong remote file identifier specified: can’t unserialize it. Wrong last symbol”} - Bad Request: wrong remote file identifier specified: can’t unserialize it. Wrong last symbol”
The Node API error is below:
“NodeApiError: Bad request - please check your parameters
