Thanks

I am trying to make something that will send a notification to my phone via discord when a webhook is called. The notification should have a body of text, and could be something like a python error, or just some plain simple text like "hi there".
I built a discord bot that uses an overridden python BaseHTTPRequestHandler, running in its own thread, which sends the server messages via client.loop.create_task(self.get_channel_by_name(name).send(message)). However, it is pretty slow (takes a few seconds to half a minute to go from webhook to server message, when it really should be almost instantaneous)
I'm thinking I have taken the wrong roundabout method for building my webhook discord server, but I have no idea the right way to go about this, and though I would ask the community. Any thoughts on how to go from requesting a specific file like "http://localhost:8000/post/category/channel/encoded-message", to the specified message in my discord server in a specific channel in a given category? Thanks for any advice!
I figured it out after a bit of googling. Here[https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/webhook#webhook-object-webhook-types] is the discord api for creating bots using webhooks. The trick is you go to the channel of the server you want to send messages to, and in the settings, add a webhook in the intergration tab. No need to mess around with the discord python package. I managed to start sending messages using python requests library, and nothing else.
import requests
requests.post(f'https://discord.com/api/webhooks/{webhook.id}/{webhook.token}', data={'content':message})
Is it possible to send a message from a node.js server to someone's mobile number or telegram Id directly?
is it possible without using a telegram bot?
I need an API like below:
function sendMessage(senderTelegramId, receiverTelegramId, messageText)
In short: No, without a bot no way for now.
Detailed explanation:
In order for you to send users messages on telegram you would need to create your own telegram bot. They have a well documented API which you can read and play around with.
There are 2 things you should know about sending messages to users using telegram bot:
You can't just send random people messages on telegram even if you know their phone number, to send them messages you need to have their chat_id. See how in the docs
To get the chat_id the user must first click the start button that comes up when they open your bot for the first time. Telegram will send you the chat id of that user and you save it for later when you would want to send messages to that user.
There are tons of libraries that makes working telegram bots very easy, it wouldn't take you more than an hour to get started.
I hope this answers the question, feel free to ask further questions, I have made some bots and you can also play around with them to see how it works.

There is actually one more easiest way to send a message to chat
just fetch the URL
https://api.telegram.org/bot[BOT_API_KEY]/sendMessage?chat_id=[MY_CHANNEL_NAME]&text=[MY_MESSAGE_TEXT]

I have a room with a couple of bots, one of them needs to read all the messages on the room including other bot's messages.
Telegram API says bots can't see other bots message otherwise they might get caught in a "loop".
Since i really need to work around this i'm wondering if there is a known workaround?
There cannot be any workaround using the Bot APIs since the messages in getUpdates or webhook of the Bot will be from Users alone.
One workaround could be to use the telegram-cli and create a normal user as a Bot.
We are using telegram bot webhook method and our website ssl is CloudFlare free ssl, telegram bot works and telegram call our csharp api, but text of messages that telegram send to our api is empty.
Anybody could guide me about this issue.
Had the same problem in php project. In the documentation, they write that request will be via HTTPS POST. But I received empty data. Solution: use file_get_contents(php://input) instead trying to get data from $_POST
I've created a telegram bot and set a webhook as described in the docs. For testing purposes I've set it up so once you send the bot a message it replies back with the same message.
Now the issue I am having is that the updates from telegram are coming back really slowly and there are some messages I haven't received yet. Am I missing something or is the webhook method just really slow?
I had the same problem. Turns out I wasn't responding the telegram server after I got the POST request. Due to this, the server wasn't sure if I got the previous updates and was constantly sending my webhook past updates.
I have an express server and I added this bit of line after handling the POST Request.
res.sendStatus(403)
You can also confirm this by going to this url
https://api.telegram.org/<token>/getWebhookInfo
You'll see a property called pending_update_count. It should zero or close to it.
