Fields

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
chatChatAlwaysChat to which the request was sent
fromUserAlwaysUser that sent the join request
user_chat_idIntegerAlwaysIdentifier of a private chat with the user who sent the join request. This number may have more than 32 significant bits and some programming languages may have difficulty/silent defects in interpreting it. But it has at most 52 significant bits, so a 64-bit integer or double-precision float type are safe for storing this identifier. The bot can use this identifier for 5 minutes to send messages until the join request is processed, assuming no other administrator contacted the user.
dateIntegerAlwaysDate the request was sent in Unix time
bioStringOptionalBio of the user
invite_linkChatInviteLinkOptionalChat invite link that was used by the user to send the join request
query_idStringOptionalIdentifier of the join request query; for bots assigned to process join requests only. If present, then the bot must call sendChatJoinRequestWebApp or directly call answerChatJoinRequestQuery within 10 seconds.
