Automate posting messages to a Telegram channel via API

Question

I am new to the Telegram API. I would like to automate posting messages to my public telegram channel. I read a few posts that with bots I can achieve this, but I am not sure if that's the best way and whether the API has an option to directly post to a channel.

I would like to get some start points on how to achieve this? Which API should I use? Whether I need a dev account or bot, etc?

Answer 1

You can use bots to send message to channels. But there is some limitation, like size of files.

1. create your bot, by sending message to @botfather
2. add the bot to your channel. stackoverflow
3. write a code to send message to your channel. bot api
