To set up a Telegram bot, you should follow these steps:

Create a new bot in your Telegram account

You can create bots in telegram accessing BotFather.

Send the message /newbot.

BotFather response:

Alright, a new bot. How are we going to call it? Please choose a name for your bot.

Choose the public name of your bot (e.x. NinjaBot)

BotFather response:

Good. Now let’s choose a username for your bot. It must end in bot. Like this, for example: TetrisBot or tetris_bot.

Choose the name id of your bot and send it to the BotFather (e.g. my_ninjabot_bot)

BotFather response:

Done! Congratulations on your new bot. You will find it at t.me/my_ninjabot_bot. You can now add a description, about section and profile picture for your bot, see /help for a list of commands. By the way, when you’ve finished creating your cool bot, ping our Bot Support if you want a better username for it. Just make sure the bot is fully operational before you do this.
Use this token to access the HTTP API: 111111:ABCDEFGH
