[BUG] StickerSet require parameters that API no longer sends

[kaine119]

Steps to Reproduce

1. Call bot.get_sticker_set(name)

Expected behaviour

.get_sticker_set() should return a StickerSet object

Actual behaviour

.get_sticker_set() throws: TypeError: StickerSet.__init__() missing 2 required positional arguments: 'is_animated' and 'is_video'

Operating System

Windows

Version of Python, python-telegram-bot & dependencies

python-telegram-bot 20.8

Python 3.11.7 (tags/v3.11.7:fa7a6f2, Dec  4 2023, 19:24:49) [MSC v.1937 64 bit (AMD64)]

Additional Context

Telegram seems to be gearing up to allow mixed-media sticker packs. From yesterday's update:

Mixed-Format Sticker Packs

• Removed the fields is_animated and is_video from the class StickerSet.
• Added the field format to the class InputSticker.

Not sure if they've made any other announcements yet, but the StickerSet class may need to be reworked.

From @botnews:

Stickers

• Introduced support for mixed-format sticker packs (https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#stickerset).
• Regular sticker sets now support up to 120 stickers.

Hi, thanks for the issue. This is known by the dev team, and we are working on the next update which will fix this. For now a workaround is to use Bot.do_api_request("get_sticker_set", {"name": sticker_set_name}). There will be a channel post on this soon.

No, that version is more than 5 years old.

You can do something like this:

resp = bot._request.post(
        f"{bot.base_url}/getStickerSet",
        {
            "name": packname,
        },
    )

Then, manually call StickerSet.de_json() on the returned data, or just use the json data directly. It's a bit of a dirty hack, requiring access to a private property, I know, but it's better than nothing if you're for whatever reason stuck with v12/13.x
