Step-by-step instructions for creating a bot in Botfather
How do I find BotFather in Telegram?
To search and work in Telegram in general, we will need a messenger application, if it is not possible to download Telegram, log in via the Web version.
- After you have logged in to Telegram, we need to find BotFather. To do this, go to the search bar and enter the full name of the bot "@BotFather"
- From the search results, select the bot with a "tick" and click on the "Start" button.
The release of the API Token for the telegram bot in BotFather
After you have found the BotFather bot in the search and clicked on the "Start" button, the father of all bots will send us a welcome message with a list of all available commands for interacting with BotFather.
- Select the command "/newbot" or enter it yourself and send a message to the bot.
- Next, BotFather will ask you to enter a name for the bot. We enter any name and send it to the bot. The name of the bot can be written in absolutely any language, and it can be edited in the future.
- After you have entered a name for the bot, we will need to specify its @nickname or set the name of the link. We also enter a nickname, which must necessarily end with _bot, bot, robot.
The nickname should be given special attention, since it will not be possible to change it in the future.
- We did it! BotFather will congratulate us on creating the bot and send us a unique API Token, which we will need in the future to configure and launch the bot in the BOT-T bot builder.
Important! Never tell anyone the API Token, store it in a secluded place that no one will have access to. If the API Token falls into the wrong hands, users will be able to steal your data.
