Type: Message

Example:

$message = ['_' => 'message', 'id' => long, 'sender_user_id' => int, 'chat_id' => long, 'send_state' => MessageSendState, 'can_be_edited' => Bool, 'can_be_deleted' => Bool, 'is_post' => Bool, 'date' => int, 'edit_date' => int, 'forward_info' => MessageForwardInfo, 'reply_to_message_id' => long, 'ttl' => int, 'ttl_expires_in' => double, 'via_bot_user_id' => int, 'views' => int, 'content' => MessageContent, 'reply_markup' => ReplyMarkup, ];

Or, if you're into Lua:

message={_='message', id=long, sender_user_id=int, chat_id=long, send_state=MessageSendState, can_be_edited=Bool, can_be_deleted=Bool, is_post=Bool, date=int, edit_date=int, forward_info=MessageForwardInfo, reply_to_message_id=long, ttl=int, ttl_expires_in=double, via_bot_user_id=int, views=int, content=MessageContent, reply_markup=ReplyMarkup, }
