How to receive new messages from a telegram channel in a telegram bot? – Telegram API

I just want my bot receives a specific channel messages like when a telegram user joins a telegram channel.
1. I am not Channel creator or admin.
2. I don’t want to make my bot, channel admin.
3. I don’t want request each channel admin to add my bot to channel members.

Do you know a way make a bot, join a channel through telegram client UI or API?

Is there another way that a bot can receive updates of channel?

    Bots cannot join groups or start conversations with a user by themselves as is stated in the Bot introduction page:

    Bots can’t initiate conversations with users. A user must either add them to a group or send them a message first. People can use telegram.me/ links or username search to find your bot.

    I am not 100% sure if this also applies for channels, however, I don’t seem to see anything that indicates that it doesn’t apply.

    There may be another way to do what you want, but not utilising the Bot-API.

    Bots can not join channels as members.

    All bots in channel should be admin.

    So only the creator of channel can add bots.
