Error 404 while accessing api method on telegram bot

httphttp-postifttttelegramtelegram-bot

I just created a bot of telegram to finish a task for the school regarding the integration of ifttt and telegram.

My problem is that trying a browser to use a method of Telegram api it returned to me the following string:
{"ok": false, "error_code": 404, "description": "Not Found"}

I use this link to try to access to my bot:
https://api.telegram.org/botToken/getUpdates

The bot's token is valid

You can help you solve the problem?

You need to add the word bot before the botToken.

Token: xxx

Resulting url to invoke: https://api.telegram.org/botXXX/getMe

Telegram Bot – how to get a group chat id

In order to get the group chat id, do as follows:

Add the Telegram BOT to the group.

Get the list of updates for your BOT:

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

Ex:

 https://api.telegram.org/bot123456789:jbd78sadvbdy63d37gda37bd8/getUpdates

Look for the "chat" object:

{"update_id":8393,"message":{"message_id":3,"from":{"id":7474,"first_name":"AAA"},"chat":{"id":<group_ID>,"title":""},"date":25497,"new_chat_participant":{"id":71,"first_name":"NAME","username":"YOUR_BOT_NAME"}}}

This is a sample of the response when you add your BOT into a group.

Use the "id" of the "chat" object to send your messages.
(If you created the new group with the bot and you only get {"ok":true,"result":[]}, remove and add the bot again to the group)
Private chart only works in image argoprojlabs/argocd-notifications:v1.1.0 or above.

Can Telegram Bot sends message to group

Yes you can, you have to invite the bot into the group, grab the chat_id of the group and send the message as you are sending a normal message to a private user.

The error message is self-explanatory tough.
