Create a Telegram Bot

Telegram is a cloud-based instant messaging and voice over IP service. Which is available for Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Windows NT, macOS and Linux Platform. Users can send messages and exchange photos, videos, stickers, audio and files of any type. For Details…

Telegram Bots are third-party applications that run inside Telegram. Users can interact with bots by sending them messages, commands and inline requests. You control your bots using HTTPS requests to our bot API.

Now We are going to create a Bot by following below stpes for future use.

  1. Find BotFather from search box in telegram.
  2. Type /Start to start the processing.
    Note: Botfather’s Responses are fully descriptive, if you didn’t get any of it’s response, then please do some searching of contact me.
  3. Type /newbot to create a bot
  4. Give your desired name for the bot, here is our example techietips
  5. Botfather will ask an username for your bot. Please note that, Username must end in `bot`. Like this, for example: TetrisBot or tetris_bot. We are using techietip_bot as ours.
  6. If Everything works successfully then you will be provided with confirmation message with an API Token. This access token is very sensitive information and need to use when using this bot.

We are going to see an implementation of this bot on my next post.
