|
||
<p>Telegram bots are special accounts that do not need a phone number to set up. Bots are connected to their owner’s server, which processes inputs and requests from users.</p>
|
||
<p>Telegram’s intermediary server handles all encryption and communication with the Telegram API. Developers communicate with this server via an easy HTTPS-interface with a simplified version of the <a href="/api">Telegram API</a> – known as the <a href="/bots/api">Bot API</a>.</p>
|
||
<h4><a class="anchor" name="how-are-bots-different-from-users" href="#how-are-bots-different-from-users"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>How Are Bots Different from Users?</h4>
|
||
<p>Bots are able to process inputs and requests in ways that user accounts can’t, but there are several differences between a bot and a normal user.</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Bots don’t have ‘last seen’ or online statuses – instead they show a ‘bot’ label in the chat.</li>
|
||
<li>Bots have limited cloud storage – older messages may be removed by the server shortly after they have been processed.</li>
|
||
<li>Bots can't start conversations with users. A user must either add them to a group or send them a message first. People can search for your bot’s username or start a chat via its unique t.me/bot_username link.</li>
|
||
<li>By default, bots added to groups <strong>only see relevant messages</strong> in the chat (see <a href="/bots/features#privacy-mode">Privacy Mode</a>).</li>
|
||
<li>Bots never eat, sleep or complain (unless expressly programmed otherwise).</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h4><a class="anchor" name="bot-links" href="#bot-links"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>Bot Links</h4>
|
||
<p>Bot usernames normally require a ‘bot’ suffix, but some bots don’t have them – such as <a href="https://t.me/stickers">@stickers</a>, <a href="https://t.me/gif">@gif</a>, <a href="https://t.me/wiki">@wiki</a> or <a href="https://t.me/bing">@bing</a>. </p>
|
||
<p>Anyone can <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/shareable-folders-custom-wallpapers#bot-links-and-telegram-premium-on-fragment">assign collectible usernames</a> to bots, including those without the 'bot' suffix.</p>
|
||
<h3><a class="anchor" name="how-do-i-create-a-bot" href="#how-do-i-create-a-bot"><i class="anchor-icon"></i></a>How Do I Create a Bot?</h3>
|
||
<p>Creating Telegram bots is super-easy, but you will need at least some skills in <strong>computer programming</strong>. </p>
|
||
<p>Creating a bot is streamlined by Telegram’s Bot API, which gives the tools and framework required to integrate your code. To get started, message <a href="https://t.me/botfather">@BotFather</a> on Telegram to register your bot and receive its authentication token.</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>Your <strong>bot token</strong> is its unique identifier – store it in a <strong>secure place</strong>, and only share it with people who need direct access to the bot. Everyone who has your token will have <strong>full control</strong> over your bot.</p>
