Telegram Token and ChatID
This document explains what the Telegram Token and Telegram ChatID are and how to find them in your Telegram account. You will need both to connect your Telegram account to a trading bot on the QuantiX platform.
Telegram Token
A Telegram Bot Token is a unique string of characters used to authenticate and identify a bot created on the Telegram platform. It acts as a secure "password" that allows your trading bot to interact with Telegram's Bot API.
How to Get a Telegram Bot Token:
Open Telegram and search for the user
@BotFather.Start a chat with BotFather by clicking the "Start" button or typing
/start.Use the command
/newbotto create a new bot.Give your bot a name (e.g., "My Test Bot").
Choose a username for your bot (it must end with "bot", e.g., "my_test_bot").
Once your bot is created, BotFather will provide you with an HTTP API token.
Telegram Chat ID
A Telegram Chat ID is a unique identifier for a user in Telegram. It allows bots and APIs to send messages or interact specifically with that user.
How to Get a Telegram Chat ID:
To get your chat ID, you can use third-party Telegram bots like @chatIDrobot or @userinfobot. To use these bots or any other similar bot, search the bot's username and click Start. The bot will send your chat ID.
