Telegram API

Telegram service configuration

Create your App

Before working with Telegram’s API, you need to get your own API ID and hash:
In order to obtain an API id and develop your own application using the Telegram API you need to do the following:
  • Sign up for Telegram using any application.
  • Log in to your Telegram core: https://my.telegram.org.
  • Go to 'API development tools' and fill out the form.
  • You will get basic addresses as well as the api_id and api_hash parameters required for user authorization.

Configuration

Add in user/config.json in the services key :
"telegram-api": {
"telegram-api": "YOUR_API_ID",
"telegram-api-hash": "YOUR_API_HASH",
"telegram-phone": "YOUR_TELEGRAM_ACCOUNT_PHONE_NUMBER"
}

Secure code

At the first OctoBot start with a new telegram-api configuration a 2-factor authentication code will be sent to your account. Just enter it the code in your OctoBot console and press enter.
If you are asked a password and Telegram didn't send it to you, try to provide the mobile phone number without "+".
