<p>Interactive <a href="/bots/webapps">HTML5 Mini Apps</a> on Telegram can completely replace <strong>any website</strong>. </p>
<p>They support <a href="https://telegram.org/blog/privacy-discussions-web-bots#meet-seamless-web-bots">seamless authorization</a>, <a href="https://core.telegram.org/bots/payments">integrated payments</a> via multiple payment providers (with <em>Google Pay</em> and <em>Apple Pay</em> out of the box), delivering tailored push notifications to users, and <a href="https://core.telegram.org/bots">much more</a>.</p>
<p>This article offers a client-side overview of the implementation of bot mini apps using the MTProto API: see <a href="/bots/webapps">here for an overview of the mini-app side JS API »</a>. </p>

<p>Mini Apps can <em>send</em> web events starting with <code>web_app_</code>; see the <a href="/api/web-events">web event documentation for the full list of events that can be <em>sent</em> by the Mini App to the client »</a>. </p>

<p>Mini Apps can also <em>receive</em> events, by exposing a <code>window.Telegram.WebView.receiveEvent("event_name", params)</code> method. </p>
<p>Here's the full list of events that can be <em>received</em> by a Mini App from the client, if the client invokes the <code>receiveEvent</code> method. </p>

<p>After invoking <a href="/method/messages.requestSimpleWebView">messages.requestSimpleWebView</a> and obtaining a <a href="/constructor/simpleWebViewResultUrl">simpleWebViewResultUrl</a> result, clients should open a webview using the <code>url</code> contained in the returned <a href="/constructor/simpleWebViewResultUrl">simpleWebViewResultUrl</a>. </p>
<p>Keyboard Button Mini Apps can send data back to the bot through the MTProto API via a <a href="/api/web-events#web-app-data-send"><code>web_app_data_send</code> JS event »</a>. </p>
<p>Upon receiving a <a href="/api/web-events#web-app-data-send"><code>web_app_data_send</code> JS event »</a> <strong>only</strong> from Keyboard Button Mini Apps, clients should invoke <a href="/method/messages.sendWebViewData">messages.sendWebViewData</a>, passing the following arguments:</p>

<p>Make sure to ignore all <code>web_app_data_send</code> events sent after the first one, <a href="/method/messages.sendWebViewData">messages.sendWebViewData</a> must be called only once. The webview must be closed after invoking the <a href="/method/messages.sendWebViewData">messages.sendWebViewData</a> method. </p>

<p>Attachment menu Mini Apps work similarly to <a href="#inline-button-mini-apps">inline button Mini Apps »</a>: they send messages on behalf of the user to the chat where the bot's <a href="/api/bots/attach">attachment menu »</a> was opened. </p>
<p>Attachment menu Mini Apps can be opened from an <a href="/api/bots/attach">attachment menu entry »</a>: in this case, no special flag should be set when invoking <a href="/method/messages.requestWebView">messages.requestWebView</a>. </p>
<p>Attachment menu Mini Apps can also be opened from a <a href="/api/links#bot-attachment-or-side-menu-links">bot attachment menu deep link</a>, in which case the <code>start_parameter</code> should be provided to <a href="/method/messages.requestWebView">messages.requestWebView</a>.<code>start_param</code>, if present.</p>
<p>The full flow is identical to the flow for <a href="#inline-button-mini-apps">inline button Mini Apps »</a>, apart from the different flags passed to <a href="/method/messages.requestWebView">messages.requestWebView</a>, as described above.</p>

<p>Pass the <code>url</code> to <a href="/method/messages.requestSimpleWebView">messages.requestSimpleWebView</a>, while also setting the <code>from_switch_webview</code> flag. </p>
<p>After invoking <a href="/method/messages.requestSimpleWebView">messages.requestSimpleWebView</a> and obtaining a <a href="/constructor/simpleWebViewResultUrl">simpleWebViewResultUrl</a> result, clients should open a webview using the <code>url</code> contained in the returned <a href="/constructor/simpleWebViewResultUrl">simpleWebViewResultUrl</a>. </p>
<p>Once the user has finished making their choices in the Mini App, a <a href="/api/web-events#web-app-switch-inline-query"><code>web_app_switch_inline_query</code> JS event »</a> should be emitted, containing a JSON object with the following fields:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>query</code> - The inline query that will be inserted in the chat's input field, after the bot's username.<br>
May be an empty string, in which case just the bot's username will be inserted, triggering an empty inline query.</li>
<li><code>chat_types</code> - An array of strings, containing a combination of <code>users</code>, <code>bots</code>, <code>groups</code>, <code>channels</code>.<br>
If non-empty, the client should prompt the user to choose a specific chat of the specified type(s), then open the chosen chat and inserts the bot's username and the specified inline query in the input field.<br>
The array values specify which types of chats the user will be able to choose from.<br>
If empty, the current chat is used. </li>
</ul>
<p>Upon receiving a <a href="/api/web-events#web-app-switch-inline-query"><code>web_app_switch_inline_query</code> JS event »</a> from the Mini App, the client should <a href="/api/bots/inline">make a new inline query »</a> to the same bot, with the newly specified <code>query</code>, either in the current chat or in the newly chosen chat, as specified by the <code>chat_types</code> field. </p>

<p>Another way to open Mini Apps is by using <a href="/api/links#direct-mini-app-links">Direct Mini App links »</a>. </p>
<p>These links are different from all other Mini App links, because they don't require the user to install an attachment menu, and a single bot can offer multiple Mini Apps, distinguished by their <code>short_name</code>. </p>
<p>These links should be handled as follows: </p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Check if <code>bot_username</code> parameter of the link is indeed a bot username, if so then</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Invoke <a href="/method/messages.getBotApp">messages.getBotApp</a>, passing an <a href="/constructor/inputBotAppShortName">inputBotAppShortName</a> with the <code>short_name</code> contained in the <code>appname</code> query string parameter.
If the client has already encountered an app with this short name from the same bot before, pass the <code>hash</code> of the cached <a href="/constructor/botApp">botApp</a> constructor to <a href="/method/messages.getBotApp">messages.getBotApp</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If a <a href="/constructor/messages.botApp">messages.botApp</a> constructor is returned, open the Mini App by invoking <a href="/method/messages.requestAppWebView">messages.requestAppWebView</a>, generating an <a href="/constructor/inputBotAppID">inputBotAppID</a> constructor from <code>id</code> and <code>access_hash</code> of the returned <a href="/constructor/botApp">botApp</a>, or from previously cached information if we already met the bot app and <a href="/constructor/botAppNotModified">botAppNotModified</a> was returned. </p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>If the client has clicked on the link in a Telegram chat, pass the chat's peer information into <code>peer</code>; otherwise pass the bot's peer information, instead.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If the <a href="/constructor/messages.botApp">messages.botApp</a>.<code>request_write_access</code> flag is set, the bot is asking permission to send messages to the user: <strong>ask confirmation from the user</strong> with a prompt and a checkbox, and if the user agrees, set the <code>write_allowed</code> flag when invoking <a href="/method/messages.requestAppWebView">messages.requestAppWebView</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If the <a href="/constructor/messages.botApp">messages.botApp</a>.<code>inactive</code> flag is set, <strong>ask confirmation from the user</strong> before opening the Mini App; the <code>request_write_access</code> checkbox should be shown in this prompt, if needed.<br>
Confirmation should <strong>always</strong> be asked, even if the <code>inactive</code> flag is not set, when opening the link from places where the full link is not visible (i.e. <a href="/constructor/messageEntityTextUrl">messageEntityTextUrl</a> text links, inline buttons etc.). </p>
<p>Don't use two prompts if confirmation to open the Mini App is required <em>and</em> <code>request_write_access</code> is set, use just one prompt with an optional checkbox for <code>request_write_access</code>. </p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If the <code>startapp</code> query string parameter is present, pass it to <code>start_param</code> when invoking <a href="/method/messages.requestAppWebView">messages.requestAppWebView</a>.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Finally, open the webview using the <code>url</code> contained in the returned <a href="/constructor/appWebViewResultUrl">appWebViewResultUrl</a>.</p></div>
