Einrichtung

telegram.org/bots/api).

Setup:

  1. In Telegram, open chat with @BotFather/newbot → pick a display name and a username ending in bot.
  2. BotFather replies with an HTTP API token like 123456789:ABCDEFghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz. Treat as a secret — anyone with it can send as your bot.
  3. Set TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN to the full token.

Authentication model (Telegram-specific): the bot token goes in the URL path, NOT in a header. The base URL is https://api.telegram.org/bot${TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN} and every endpoint is appended as /methodName. The adapter substitutes the token via the {{TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN}} env-var template in baseUrl.
