Fields

Field	Type	Required	Description
`file_id`	String	Always	Identifier for this file, which can be used to download or reuse the file
`file_unique_id`	String	Always	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.
`width`	Integer	Always	Video width as defined by the sender
`height`	Integer	Always	Video height as defined by the sender
`duration`	Integer	Always	Duration of the video in seconds as defined by the sender
`thumbnail`	PhotoSize	Optional	Animation thumbnail as defined by the sender
`file_name`	String	Optional	Original animation filename as defined by the sender
`mime_type`	String	Optional	MIME type of the file as defined by the sender
`file_size`	Integer	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.
