Ostone0's answer is fine, just wanted to mention you can also use the disable_web_page_preview=True on the reply_text method. – Elsa

Answer 1

It looks like there is an disable_web_page_preview parameter on the sendMessage method.

tb = telebot.TeleBot(TOKEN)
tb.send_message(123456, "Hi <link>", disable_web_page_preview=True)

Original code;

def send_message(token, chat_id, text, disable_web_page_preview=None, reply_to_message_id=None, reply_markup=None,
                 parse_mode=None, disable_notification=None):

Try using link_preview/disable_web_page_preview parameter.

client.send_message('chat_name', '[link](example.com)', parse_mode = "Markdown", link_preview=False)

Answer 3

To me this works:

client.send_message(chat_name, msg, link_preview=False)
