How to Set Telegram Bot WebHook

When you create a bot to serve your telegram clients you need to add a public url to that bot. Once you registered, when updates are available on our bot, our registered url(WebHook) will be called automatically.

Here I will show you the simplest way of how to set telegram bot webhook.

For this tutorial I am using the REST client postman for that, but you can do that with  Insomnia and CURL as well.

Open postman and make HTTP POST request to https://api.telegram.org/bot{Your_bot_token}/setWebhook

For Instance:

https://api.telegram.org/bot00000000:AAAAADFSFVVVSSSSRRRGGGAAASSS/setWebhook

Then, Provide a form-data URL with your public URL. You need to make sure to use the https one. After you’re all set click enter.

You should see response like this:

{
    "ok": true,
    "result": true,
    "description":"Webhook was set"
}

That’s it!

Now if you enter the following URL on postman

https://api.telegram.org/bot{your_bot_token}/getWebhookInfo

In our case

https://api.telegram.org/bot00000000:AAAAADFSFVVVSSSSRRRGGGAAASSS/getWebhookInfo

you should see the following message.

{
    "ok": true,
    "result": {
        "url": "https://fdbb70c515dc.ngrok.io",
        "has_custom_certificate": false,
        "pending_update_count": 0,
        "max_connections": 40
    }
}
