How to get Telegram bot ID

If you want to get the bot's token, press API Key to get it, and the code will appear. Save this code for future use. The sequence of numbers before the colon is the bot ID . For example, if the token is 1234567:ABC, then 1234567 is the bot ID.

Now, when you click on the bot's name , it will be taken to the chat window along with the description we entered.

You can check the bot's activity by opening your browser and accessing the following link:

https://api.telegram.org/bot/getMe

In this process, the replacement part is a token. If the bot is functioning correctly, you will receive a JSON response containing bot information.

Here are some other commands for the BotFather bot on Telegram:

1. /mybots: View a list of the bots you have created.
2. /revoke: Revoke the current token and create a new one.
3. /setdescription: Set a description for the bot.
4. /setcommands: Configure pre-set commands for the bot.
5. /deletebot: Delete the bot if it is no longer in use.

Never share your token. If you suspect your token has been compromised, enter the command /revoke to create a new token.
