How do I edit a sent message using Telegram's python bot API?
<p>The documentation (<a href="https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#editmessagetext" rel="noreferrer">https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#editmessagetext</a>) says that I need to specify a message ID to edit, but I have no idea how to go about getting that message ID.</p>

<p>I've tried setting the ID as a variable:</p>

<pre><code>import telepot
from telepot.namedTuple import InlineKeyboardMarkup, InlineKeyboardButton

messageEditID = bot.sendMessage(&lt;location ID&gt;, "Test", reply_markup=InlineKeyboardMarkup(inline_keyboard=[[InlineKeyboardButton(text="Testing", callback_data="test"]]))['message_id']
</code></pre>

<p>because the POST data for such a message would be</p>

<pre><code>{"message_id":1140126,"chat":{"title":"&lt;location name&gt;","type":"supergroup","id":&lt;location ID&gt;},"date":1477960655,"from":{"username":"&lt;bot username&gt;","first_name":"&lt;bot name&gt;","id":&lt;bot ID&gt;},"text":"Test"}
</code></pre>

<p>and then calling it back based on the inline reply data</p>

<pre><code>if msg['data'] == 'test':
    bot.editMessage(messageEditID, "Did it work?")
</code></pre>

<p>but it throws an Exception with the following message:</p>

<pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/telepot/__init__.py", line 738, in collector
    callback(item)
  File "testingStuff.py", line 150, in handle
    bot.editMessageText(messageEditID, "Does it work?")
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/telepot/__init__.py", line 592, in editMessageText
    return self._api_request('editMessageText', _rectify(p))
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/telepot/__init__.py", line 398, in _api_request
    return api.request((self._token, method, params, files), **kwargs)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/telepot/api.py", line 131, in request
    return _parse(r)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/telepot/api.py", line 126, in _parse
    raise exception.TelegramError(description, error_code, data)
telepot.exception.TelegramError: ('Bad Request: Wrong inline message identifier specified', 400, {'description': 'Bad Request: Wrong inline message identifier specified', 'ok': False, 'error_code': 400})
</code></pre>

<p>It threw the same error when I tried to edit the message based on the response,</p>

<pre><code>if msg['data'] == 'test':
    msgID = msg['message']['message_id']
    bot.editMessageText(msgID, "OBOY")
</code></pre>

<p>since the data for an incoming Inline Reply is:</p>

<pre><code>{'chat_instance': '112564336693044113',
 'data': 'test',
 'from': {'first_name': 'B(', 'id': &lt;user ID&gt;, 'username': '&lt;username&gt;'},
 'id': '852908411206280027',
 'message': {'chat': {'id': &lt;chat ID&gt;,
                      'title': 'We da bes',
                      'type': 'supergroup',
                      'username': '&lt;chat username&gt;'},
             'date': 1477961765,
             'from': {'first_name': 'Testing For James',
                      'id': &lt;bot ID&gt;,
                      'username': '&lt;bot username&gt;'},
             'message_id': 63180,
             'text': 'Test'}}
</code></pre>

<p>Can anyone help me figure out where I've gone wrong?</p>
