add Story / Stories feature support

[Geczy]

allow adding stories programmatically

[vinicius73]

That will be a very useful feature

Bots can't be added to contacts, so currently no users will be able to see stories sent by bots in their story feeds anyway.

It’s for self bots

[RememberTheAir]

"self bots" can already do anything a user can, included sending and seeing stories

okay, show me the code where self bots can send and see stories? the point was having a telegram api library that i can use in my apps, not to have to reverse engineer and send the protobuff calls myself

All official Telegram apps are open-source, so there is no need to reverse engineer anything. Also, none of them use protobuf.

did you find a way to do it?

For reference, this is tdlib's tl schema, which lists all available methods that can be used by any client using the users API (including "self bots") (CTRL+F "stories", or the stories.* namespace). It's up to whoever maintains the framework you're using (tdlib, pyrogram, whatever) to update it and expose the related methods to use the new functions and types.

Bots can't be added to contacts, so currently no users will be able to see stories sent by bots in their story feeds anyway.

From this answer I assume that bot accounts are not forbidden from publishing stories so I guess one could update the bot api so it exposed the methods to publish stories, but nobody would be able to see them, right?

Bots can't publish stories, because it is useless now.
