# `ExGram.Model.Animation`
[🔗](https://github.com/rockneurotiko/ex_gram/blob/0.64.0/lib/ex_gram.ex#L3782)

This object represents an animation file (GIF or H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video without sound).

Check the [documentation of this model on Telegram Bot API](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#animation)

- `file_id`: Identifier for this file, which can be used to download or reuse the file
- `file_unique_id`: Unique identifier for this file, which is supposed to be the same over time and for different bots. Can't be used to download or reuse the file.
- `width`: Video width as defined by the sender
- `height`: Video height as defined by the sender
- `duration`: Duration of the video in seconds as defined by the sender
- `thumbnail (optional)`: Optional. Animation thumbnail as defined by the sender
- `file_name (optional)`: Optional. Original animation filename as defined by the sender
- `mime_type (optional)`: Optional. MIME type of the file as defined by the sender
- `file_size (optional)`: Optional. File size in bytes. It can be bigger than 2^31 and some programming languages may have difficulty/silent defects in interpreting it. But it has at most 52 significant bits, so a signed 64-bit integer or double-precision float type are safe for storing this value.

# `t`

```elixir
@type t() :: %ExGram.Model.Animation{
  duration: integer(),

  file_name: String.t() | nil,
  file_size: integer() | nil,
  file_unique_id: String.t(),
  height: integer(),
  mime_type: String.t() | nil,
  thumbnail: ExGram.Model.PhotoSize.t() | nil,
  width: integer()
}
