Description

Align classes initialization with API.

@coder2020official It was not so easy... Most work was automated, all found issues were processed manually.
I did my best to validate results, but I'm dead to the end of the day, so there may be misses.

🟡 Changes recommended

The current attachment serialization changes break multipart uploads for thumbnails/covers/live-photo photos in media arrays and also allow invalid photo=None in InputMediaLivePhoto, causing malformed requests.

Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.

Pull request overview

This PR updates telebot model initializers and related serialization to better align class construction/type hints with the Telegram Bot API, particularly around InputMedia* and several API object classes.

Changes:

• Added/updated many __init__ type annotations across telebot/types.py to reflect API field types more precisely.
• Adjusted InputMedia* handling to use attach://... references for additional file-like fields (e.g., thumbnails/covers/photos).
• Extended convert_input_media_array() in telebot/apihelper.py to handle more media-related file fields.

File summaries

File	Description
telebot/types.py	Adds/adjusts type hints and attachment reference logic for multiple API types, including InputMedia*.
telebot/apihelper.py	Updates convert_input_media_array() to try to include additional uploadable fields (cover/photo).

🟡 Changes recommended

There are confirmed typing/API inconsistencies in updated constructors and a concrete robustness issue in file collection (missing InputFile validation) that can create invalid multipart payloads.

@coder2020official Go? 🙈

[coder2020official]

looks good on a quick glance, but I'd need 2 days to check this thoroughly and hopefully even test it out

For media, this will return attach:// but the files will not be sent to the API

[coder2020official]

@Badiboy it seems like uploads for InputRichBlockAnimation, InputRichBlockAudio, InputRichBlockPhoto, InputRichBlockVideo, InputRichBlockVoiceNote will not work

+InputRichMessageMedia above

[coder2020official]

Apihelper would also need altering, for functions like send_rich_message, send_rich_message_draft, and edit_message_text

[coder2020official]

Files are dropped here too. needs to call media.convert_input_media?

[Badiboy]

Yeeeeeep, looks like Rich is absolutely out of uploads. I need to verify what's there attentively. I did not got into new Rich magic deep yet.

While reviewing, I also found out that:

-- replace_sticker_in_set should use convert_input_sticker to upload stickers similar to add_sticker_to_set
-- checklist in send_checklist needs .to_dict()

• both in apihelper & asyncio_helper files

@Badiboy after you're done with this, would you be able to implement the bot api update?

I'm in parallel working on it trying to apply current results to resolve update. Have some progress, but it looks a bit fra from production. I need some time for this, after that will report.

@coder2020official I tried to get with your review but failed...

Too much changes, I cannot handle all of it.

I propose to extract your points:
1.
InputRichBlockAnimation, InputRichBlockAudio, InputRichBlockPhoto, InputRichBlockVideo, InputRichBlockVoiceNote
2.

replace_sticker_in_set should use convert_input_sticker to upload stickers similar to add_sticker_to_set
checklist in send_checklist needs .to_dict()
both in apihelper & asyncio_helper files

To a separate PR. And do it later due to lot of changes hanged on my side.

If you agree, I'll note them as Issue for later processing. Then Merge this and will open new PR...

[coder2020official]

Yeah sure
