method Api.prototype.getFile
import { Api } from "https://deno.land/x/grammy@v1.31.2/mod.ts";

Use this method to get basic info about a file and prepare it for downloading. For the moment, bots can download files of up to 20MB in size. On success, a File object is returned. The file can then be downloaded via the link https://api.telegram.org/file/bot<token>/<file_path>, where <file_path> is taken from the response. It is guaranteed that the link will be valid for at least 1 hour. When the link expires, a new one can be requested by calling getFile again.

Note: This function may not preserve the original file name and MIME type. You should save the file's MIME type and name (if available) when the File object is received.

Parameters

file_id: string

File identifier to get info about

optional
signal: AbortSignal

Optional AbortSignal to cancel the request
