Bots Introduction for Developers

Bots are small applications that run within the Telegram app. Users interact with bots through a flexible interface that can support any kind of task or service. For more information, see:

• Detailed guide to bot features
• Full API reference for developers
• Basic tutorial: From BotFather to 'Hello World'

The Telegram Bot Platform hosts over 10 million bots and is free for users and developers alike.

What can bots do?

• Replace your entire website
• Manage your business
• Get paid
• Create custom tools
• Integrate with other services
• Host games
• Build social networks
• And more

Replace your entire website

Telegram bots can host mini-apps built with JavaScript. This allows for an infinitely flexible interface that can power anything from online stores to arcade games. Unlike websites, bots support seamless authentication and notifications out of the box through Telegram.

Manage your business

Telegram Business users can connect Telegram bots through their personal accounts to process and answer messages on their behalf. This allows businesses to seamlessly integrate existing tools and workflows or add new AI assistants to boost productivity.

As we continue to expand the set of free tools available to bots through this integration, we encourage all developers to innovate and develop useful applications and services for business on Telegram.

Developers can turn on business mode with @BotFather if their bot supports integration with Telegram Business accounts.

Get paid

Bots can sell any kind of goods or services to anyone, anywhere on Telegram. Telegram Stars allows users to buy digital products safely and easily with in-app purchases. Plus, you can buy physical goods through 20+ integrated payment providers.

Try ShopBot - or check out our dedicated guides for digital and physical products to build your own.

Create custom tools

Boost your productivity by creating bots for specific tasks like converting files, managing chats, getting today's forecast, and more. Users can chat with bots directly or add them to groups and channels to introduce additional functionality.

Try @QuizBot, which combines multiple quiz-style polls into a proper quiz.

Integrate with other services

Many popular platforms already have official Telegram bots, allowing users to access content from the comfort of one app or quickly search using inline mode.

Host games

By using HTML5, developers can create a single or mult i-player game with a sense of immersion in which users can form a team or compete for the highest scores.

Build social networks

Bot functions as an intermediary that connects users based on common interests and places. You can adjust the meetup, introduce local services, and support secon d-hand goods.

others

From simple scripts to complex mini apps, the possibility of bots is infinite. Beginners and professional programmers can create personalized tools with the help of bot platforms.

Bot mechanism

For details on the function of the bot, see this guide.

Telegram bot is a special account that does not require a phone number in the setup. The bot is connected to the owner's server and processes users input and requests.

Telegram's intermediary server processes all encryption and communication with the Telegram API. The developer communicates through a simple HTTPS interface using the server and a simple HTTPS interface using the simple version of the Telegram API known as the bot API.

How is the bot different from the user?

Bots can handle inputs and requests in a way that cannot be used by user accounts, but there are several differences between bots and regular users.

• The bot does not have "final confirmation" or online statu s-instead, the "bot" label is displayed in the chat.
• Bot's cloud storage is limited, and old messages may be deleted by the server immediately after processing.
• Bots cannot start talking with users. The user needs to add a bot to the group or send a message to the bot. Users can search for the bot user name or start chat from the T. Me/Bot_username link.
• By default, bots added to the group can only see the cha t-related messages (see privacy mode).
• Bots do not spill meals, sleep or complain (except when specially programmed).

Bot link

The bot user name usually requires a bot 'sedation, but there are bots that do not have a skewer like@sticker,@gif,@wiki,@bing.

You can assign a bot that can be collected to the bot, including those that do not have a bot 'safics.

How to create a bot?

Creating a Telegram bot is very easy, but at least requires computer programming skills.

The bot creation is rationalized by the Telegram bot API, which provides the tools and frameworks required to integrate your code. To get started, send a message to Telegram @botfaterer, register the bot, and receive the authentication token.

Bot tokens are bo t-specific identifiers. Only those who need to store in a safe place and access the bots directly can share. If you have a token, you can completely control your bot.
