    Authorizing your bot

    Using a Local Bot API Server

    Getting updates

    There are two mutually exclusive ways of receiving updates for your bot - the getUpdates method on one hand and webhooks on the other. Incoming updates are stored on the server until the bot receives them either way, but they will not be kept longer than 24 hours.

    Regardless of which option you choose, you will receive JSON-serialized Update objects as a result.

    Games

    Your bot can offer users HTML5 games to play solo or to compete against each other in groups and one-on-one chats. Create games via @BotFather using the /newgame command. Please note that this kind of power requires responsibility: you will need to accept the terms for each game that your bots will be offering.

    • Games are a new type of content on Telegram, represented by the Game and InlineQueryResultGame objects.
    • -
    • Once you've created a game via BotFather, you can send games to chats as regular messages using the sendGame method, or use inline mode with InlineQueryResultGame.
    • -
    • If you send the game message without any buttons, it will automatically have a 'Play GameName' button. When this button is pressed, your bot gets a CallbackQuery with the game_short_name of the requested game. You provide the correct URL for this particular user and the app opens the game in the in-app browser.
    • -
    • You can manually add multiple buttons to your game message. Please note that the first button in the first row must always launch the game, using the field callback_game in InlineKeyboardButton. You can add extra buttons according to taste: e.g., for a description of the rules, or to open the game's official community.

    • To make your game more attractive, you can upload a GIF animation that demostrates the game to the users via BotFather (see Lumberjack for example).
    • A game message will also display high scores for the current chat. Use setGameScore to post high scores to the chat with the game, add the edit_message parameter to automatically update the message with the current scoreboard.
    • Use getGameHighScores to get data for in-game high score tables.
    • You can also add an extra sharing button for users to share their best score to different chats.
    • For examples of what can be done using this new stuff, check the @gamebot and @gamee bots.

    Your bot is able to show different commands to different users and groups – you can control this using scopes. For example, your bot could show additional commands to group admins or translate the list based on the user’s language_code.

    Keep in mind that Bot API updates will not contain any information about the scope of a command sent by the user – in fact, they may contain commands that don’t exist at all in your bot. Your backend should always verify that received commands are valid and that the user was authorized to use them regardless of scope.

    +
    +

    Bots with privacy mode enabled will only receive commands in groups under special conditions, see here.

    -

    Keyboards

    +

    Keyboards

    Bots are able to interpret free text input from users, but offering specific suggestions is often more intuitive – this is where custom keyboards can be extremely useful.

    Whenever your bot sends a message, it can display a special keyboard with predefined reply options (see ReplyKeyboardMarkup). Telegram apps that receive the message will display your keyboard to the user. Using any of the buttons will immediately send the respective text. This way you can drastically simplify and streamline user interaction with your bot.

    Inline Keyboards

    -

    There are times when you'd prefer to do things without sending any messages to the chat – like when a user is changing settings, toggling options or navigating search results. In such cases, you can use Inline Keyboards that are shown directly below their relevant messages.

    -

    Unlike with custom reply keyboards, pressing buttons on inline keyboards doesn't send messages to the chat. Instead, inline keyboards support buttons that can work behind the scenes or open different interfaces: callback buttons, URL buttons, switch-to-inline buttons, game buttons and payment buttons.

    To make basic interactions more uniform, we ask all developers to support a few basic commands. Telegram apps will have interface shortcuts for these commands.

    Chat and User Selection

    Bots can present the user with a friendly and intuitive interface that lists any number of groups, channels or other users according to a custom set of criteria. Tapping on a chat will send its identifier to the bot in a service message and seamlessly close the interface.

    A group management bot is the perfect example: an admin could select a chat the bot should manage, and then select a user it should promote – this would happen without ever typing any text.

    Users can interact with your bot via inline queries straight from the message field in any chat. All they need to do is start a message with your bot's @username and enter a keyword.

    Having received the query, your bot can return some results. As soon as the user selects one, it is sent to the relevant chat. This way, people can request and send content from your bot in any of their chats, groups or channels.

    Telegram bots have a deep linking mechanism that allows additional parameters to be passed to the bot on startup. It could be a command that launches the bot – or an authentication token to connect the user's Telegram account to their account on another platform.

    Each bot has a link that opens a conversation with it in Telegram – https://t.me/<bot_username>. Parameters can be added directly to this link to let your bot work with additional information on the fly, without any user input.

    A-Z, a-z, 0-9, _ and - are allowed. We recommend using base64url to encode parameters with binary and other types of content. The parameter can be up to 64 characters long.

    All these formats are supported by our Bot API, which allows bots to create, edit, delete and share new artwork packs on the fly. Telegram's Import API lets users migrate packs from other platforms and sticker apps.

    Creating a new pack +To create a new pack, simply:

    • Prepare your artwork following our technical requirements.
    • Create a new sticker pack via createStickerSet. Set sticker_type to regular to create a sticker pack or to custom emoji to create a pack of custom emoji. Attach the files you wish to include in the pack as an array of InputSticker
    • You can use addStickerToSet to add stickers or emoji later on.

    Additional features
    Regular stickers and custom emoji support keywords that users can type to quickly find the respective artwork – this can be useful when a sticker doesn't have obvious ties to a specific emoji. You can use the keywords parameter in InputSticker to specify them.

    Language Support

    Language Support

    Bots can tailor their interfaces to support multiple languages – updating inputs and information on the fly. A user’s language_code is included in every relevant update as an IETF language tag, allowing bots to adapt accordingly.

    We recommend that you follow our guidelines to provide the best user experience.

    • Your interfaces, texts and inline results should adapt seamlessly to the language_code, without user intervention.
    • -
    • Connected WebApps will receive the user's language_code – your HTML page should account for it.
    • -
    • HTML5 Games can obtain language information if you specify it as a URL parameter. You can generate this parameter from the language_code field in the User object served with the initial game CallbackQuery.
    • -
    • The bot's Name, Description and About text can be natively localized with the respective methods.

    The language_code is an optional field – it could be empty.

    Privacy Mode

    Bots are frequently added to groups to perform basic tasks or assist moderators – like automatically posting company announcements or even celebrating birthdays. By default, all bots added to groups run in Privacy Mode and only see relevant messages and commands:

    • All messages from private chats.
    • All messages from channels where they are a member.

    Privacy mode is enabled by default for all bots, except bots that were added to a group as admins (bot admins always receive all messages). It can be disabled so that the bot receives all messages like an ordinary user (the bot will need to be re-added to the group for this change to take effect). We only recommend doing this in cases where it is absolutely necessary for your bot to work. In most cases, using the force reply option for the bot's messages should be more than enough.

    Testing your bot

    +

    Testing your bot

    You can quickly test your bot without interfering with its users by simply running another instance of your code on a different bot account. To do so, create a new bot via @BotFather, obtain its token and use it in the testing instance of your code.

    All further testing and debugging can happen privately on the new bot, without affecting the original instance.

    If you need to share file references across bots, note that the file_id field is tied to a single bot id, so your test instance cannot use a shared file_id database to quickly send media – files must be individually reuploaded.

      Creating a bot in the test environment

      The test environment is completely separate from the main environment, so you will need to create a new user account and a new bot with @BotFather.

      To create an account and log in, use either of the following:

      • iOS: tap 10 times on the Settings icon > Accounts > Login to another account > Test.
      • -
      • Telegram Desktop: open ☰ Settings > Shift + Alt + Right click 'Add Account' and select 'Test Server'.

      • macOS: click the Settings icon 10 times to open the Debug Menu, ⌘ + click 'Add Account' and log in via phone number.

      After logging in, simply create a new bot following the standard procedure and send your requests to the Test Bot API in this format:

      https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/test/METHOD_NAME

      When working with the test environment, you may use HTTP links without TLS in the url field of both LoginUrl and WebAppInfo.

      Status alerts

      Millions choose Telegram for its speed. To best benefit users, your bot also needs to be responsive. In order to help developers keep their bots in shape, @BotFather will send status alerts if it sees something is wrong.

      We check the number of replies and the request/response conversion rate for popular bots (~300 requests per minute, this value may change in the future). If your bot returns an abnormally low number, you will receive a notification from @BotFather.

      Each alert has the following buttons:

      • Fixed - Use this if you found an issue with your bot and fixed it. If you press the fix button, we will resume sending alerts in the regular way so that you can see if your fix worked within 5-10 minutes instead of having to wait for an hour.

    Web Apps always receive data about the user's current color theme in real time, so you can adjust the appearance of your interfaces to match it. For example, when users switch between Day and Night modes or use various custom themes.

    Keyboard Button Web Apps

    TL;DR: Web Apps launched from a web_app type keyboard button can send data back to the bot in a service message using Telegram.WebApp.sendData. This makes it possible for the bot to produce a response without communicating with any external servers.

    @@ -125,84 +122,84 @@

    To transmit data from the user back to the bot, the Web App can call the Telegram.WebApp.sendData method. Data will be transmitted to the bot as a String in a service message. The bot can continue communicating with the user after receiving it.

    Inline Button Web Apps

    TL;DR: For more interactive Web Apps like @DurgerKingBot, use a web_app type Inline KeyboardButton, which gets basic user information and can be used to send a message on behalf of the user to the chat with the bot.

    If receiving text data alone is insufficient or you need a more advanced and personalized interface, you can open a Web App using a web_app type Inline KeyboardButton.

    -

    From the button, a Web App will open with the URL specified in the button. In addition to the user's theme settings, it will receive basic user information (ID, name, username, language_code) and a unique identifier for the session, query_id, which allows messages on behalf of the user to be sent back to the bot.

    The bot can call the Bot API method answerWebAppQuery to send an inline message from the user back to the bot and close the Web App. After receiving the message, the bot can continue communicating with the user.

    Launching Web Apps from the Menu Button

    +

    Launching Web Apps from the Menu Button

    TL;DR: Web Apps can be launched from a customized menu button. This simply offers a quicker way to access the app and is otherwise identical to launching a Web App from an inline button.

    By default, chats with bots always show a convenient menu button that provides quick access to all listed commands. With Bot API 6.0, this button can be used to launch a Web App instead.

    - +
    -

    To configure the menu button, you must specify the text it should show and the Web App URL. There are two ways to set these parameters:

    Apart from this, Web Apps opened via the menu button work in the exact same way as when using inline buttons.

    @DurgerKingBot allows launching its Web App both from an inline button and from the menu button.

    -

    Inline Mode Web Apps

    +

    Inline Mode Web Apps

    TL;DR: Web Apps launched via web_app type InlineQueryResultsButton can be used anywhere in inline mode. Users can create content in a web interface and then seamlessly send it to the current chat via inline mode.

    -

    NEW You can use the button parameter in the answerInlineQuery method to display a special 'Switch to Web App' button either above or in place of the inline results. This button will open a Web App from the specified URL. Once done, you can call the Telegram.WebApp.switchInlineQuery method to send the user back to inline mode.

    -

    Inline Web Apps have no access to the chat – they can't read messages or send new ones on behalf of the user. To send messages, the user must be redirected to inline mode and actively pick a result.

    Direct Link Web Apps

    TL;DR: Web App Bots can be launched from a direct link in any chat. They support a startapp parameter and are aware of the current chat context.

    -

    NEW You can use direct links to open a Web App directly in the current chat. If a non-empty startapp parameter is included in the link, it will be passed to the Web App in the start_param field and in the GET parameter tgWebAppStartParam.

    ^==NEW==^ You can use direct links to open a Web App directly in the current chat. If a non-empty startapp parameter is included in the link, it will be passed to the Web App in the start_param field and in the GET parameter tgWebAppStartParam.

    In this mode, Web Apps can use the chat_type and chat_instance parameters to keep track of the current chat context. This introduces support for concurrent and shared usage by multiple chat members – to create live whiteboards, group orders, multiplayer games and similar apps.

    Launching Web Apps from the Attachment Menu

    -

    TL;DR: Web App Bots can request to be added directly to a user's attachment menu, allowing them to be quickly launched from any chat. To try this mode, open this attachment menu link for @DurgerKingBot, then use the Attach menu in any type of chat.

    TL;DR: Web App Bots can request to be added directly to a user's attachment menu, allowing them to be quickly launched from any chat. To try this mode, open this attachment menu link for @DurgerKingBot, then use the Attach menu in any type of chat.

    -

    Web App Bots can request to be added directly to a user's attachment menu, allowing them to be quickly launched from any type of chat. You can configure in which types of chats your web app can be started from the attachment menu (private, groups, supergroups or channels).

    -

    Attachment menu integration is currently only available for major advertisers on the Telegram Ad Platform. However, all bots can use it in the test server environment.

    -

    To enable this feature for your bot, open @BotFather from an account on the test server and send the /setattach command – or go to Bot Settings > Configure Attachment Menu. Then specify the URL that will be opened to launch the bot's Web App via its icon in the attachment menu.

    -

    You can add a 'Settings' item to the context menu of your Web App using @BotFather. When users select this option from the menu, your bot will receive a settingsButtonClicked event.

    -

    In addition to the user's theme settings, the bot will receive basic user information (ID, name, username, language_code, photo), as well as public info about the chat partner (ID, name, username, photo) or the chat info (ID, type, title, username, photo) and a unique identifier for the web view session query_id, which allows messages of any type to be sent to the chat on behalf of the user that opened the bot.

    Validating data received via the Web App

    -

    To validate data received via the Web App, one should send the data from the Telegram.WebApp.initData field to the bot's backend. The data is a query string, which is composed of a series of field-value pairs.

    -

    You can verify the integrity of the data received by comparing the received hash parameter with the hexadecimal representation of the HMAC-SHA-256 signature of the data-check-string with the secret key, which is the HMAC-SHA-256 signature of the bot's token with the constant string WebAppData used as a key.

    -

    Data-check-string is a chain of all received fields, sorted alphabetically, in the format key=<value> with a line feed character ('\n', 0x0A) used as separator – e.g., 'auth_date=<auth_date>\nquery_id=<query_id>\nuser=<user>'.

    The full check might look like:

    data_check_string = ...
    -secret_key = HMAC_SHA256(<bot_token>, "WebAppData")
    +secret_key = HMAC_SHA256(;, "WebAppData")
     if (hex(HMAC_SHA256(data_check_string, secret_key)) == hash) {
       // data is from Telegram
     }

    To prevent the use of outdated data, you can additionally check the auth_date field, which contains a Unix timestamp of when it was received by the Web App.

    Once validated, the data may be used on your server. Complex data types are represented as JSON-serialized objects.

    Adding Bots to the Attachment Menu

    +

    Attachment menu integration is currently only available for major advertisers on the Telegram Ad Platform. However, all bots can use it in the test server environment. Talk to Botfather on the test server to set up the integration.

    A special link is used to add bots to the attachment menu:

    -

    https://t.me/botusername?startattach
    or
    https://t.me/botusername?startattach=command

    +

    https://t.me/botusername?startattach +or +https://t.me/botusername?startattach=command

    -

    For example, open this attachment menu link for @DurgerKingBot, then use the Attach menu in any private chat.

    +

    For example, open this attachment menu link for @DurgerKingBot, then use the Attach menu in any private chat.

    Opening the link prompts the user to add the bot to their attachment menu. If the bot has already been added, the attachment menu will open in the current chat and redirect to the bot there (if the link is opened from a 1-on-1 chat). If a non-empty startattach parameter was included in the link, it will be passed to the Web App in the start_param field and in the GET parameter tgWebAppStartParam.

    The following link formats are also supported:

    -

    https://t.me/username?attach=botusername
    https://t.me/username?attach=botusername&startattach=command
    https://t.me/+1234567890?attach=botusername
    https://t.me/+1234567890?attach=botusername&startattach=command

    -

    These links open the Web App in the attachment menu in the chat with a specific user. If the bot wasn't already added to the attachment menu, the user will be prompted to do so. If a non-empty startattach parameter was included in the link, it will be passed to the Web App in the start_param field and in the GET parameter tgWebAppStartParam.

    Bot API 6.1+ supports a new link format:

    -

    https://t.me/botusername?startattach&choose=users+bots
    https://t.me/botusername?startattach=command&choose=groups+channels

    -

    Opening such a link prompts the user to choose a specific chat and opens the attachment menu in that chat. If the bot wasn't already added to the attachment menu, the user will be prompted to do so. You can specify which types of chats the user will be able to choose from. It can be one or more of the following types: users, bots, groups, channels separated by a + sign. If a non-empty startattach parameter was included in the link, it will be passed to the Web App in the start_param field and in the GET parameter tgWebAppStartParam.
