Telegram API Question posted in
A comprehensive official documentation can be found here.

I dont get the Result i expected when i want to get my Telegram Chatbot id

I Try to get my Chatbot id from my Telegram chatbot.

Normally you should write your API Key inside this URL

https://api.telegram.org/bot<myapikey>/getUpdates

and i should receive something like this:

{
  "ok": true,
  "result": [
    {
      "update_id": 83xxxxx35,
      "message": {
        "message_id": 2643,
        "from": {...},
        "chat": {
          "id": 21xxxxx38,
          "first_name": "...",
          "last_name": "...",
          "username": "@username",
          "type": "private"
        },
        "date": 1703062972,
        "text": "/start"
      }
    }
  ]
}

but when i try to get my id, i recieve this:

{
    "ok": true,
    "result": []
}

someone know what i did maybe wrong, or how i can fix this?

Greetings!

    An empty result indicates that the Bot has no unprocessed messages.

    You’ll need to start a conversation with our new bot, send him a message, then the result array in the getUpdates call will contain that message.

    aswell for different variations of my api key

    There are no different variantions of your api key, it’s always in the format of:

    https://api.telegram.org/bot<MY-TOKEN>/<METHOD>

    After adding the bot to the group chat, you need to give the bot admin rights and then get this url to get the group chat id:

    https://api.telegram.org/bot<myapikey>/getUpdates
