In order to put a button you would need to use a GUI generating library — Vulwsztyn, Feb 22 '22 at 13:53

reply=$(cat <<-EOF
{
    "inline_keyboard": [
        [
            {
                "text": "Button1",
                "callback_data": "lt"
            },
            {
                "text": "Button1",
                "callback_data": "rt"
            }
        ],
        [
            {
                "text": "Button3",
                "callback_data": "ls"
            }
        ]
    ]
}
EOF
)

Using car <<EOF EOF to give that json format to a variable and then use it like reply_markup="$reply" . I just found out this way.
