file_id: str¶: Identifier for this file, which can be used to download or reuse the file

file_unique_id: str¶: Unique identifier for this file, which is supposed to be the same over time and for different bots. Can’t be used to download or reuse the file.

file_size: int | None¶: Optional. File size in bytes. It can be bigger than 2^31 and some programming languages may have difficulty/silent defects in interpreting it. But it has at most 52 significant bits, so a signed 64-bit integer or double-precision float type are safe for storing this value.

file_path: str | None¶: Optional. File path. Use https://api.telegram.org/file/bot<token>/<file_path> to get the file.
