getFile

Returns File ↗

Use this method to get basic information about a file and prepare it for downloading. For the moment, bots can download files of up to 20MB in size. The file can then be downloaded via the link https://api.telegram.org/file/bot&lt;token&gt;/&lt;file_path>, where <file_path> is taken from the response. It is guaranteed that the link will be valid for at least 1 hour. When the link expires, a new one can be requested by calling getFile again.
