FAQ

When you create a Telegram bot, BotFather generates a unique token for you. BotFather (@botfather) is the official Telegram bot for creating and managing bots — search for it directly inside Telegram.

Creating a new bot

Open Telegram and search for @botfather.
Send the command /newbot.
BotFather will ask you for two things:
- Name — the display name shown in contact details and conversations (e.g. “My Awesome Bot”).
- Username — a short unique handle used in mentions and t.me links (e.g. @my_awesome_bot). Usernames must be 5–32 characters long, can only contain Latin letters, numbers and underscores, and must end in “bot”.
Once created, BotFather will provide your authorization token.

What does a token look like?

A token is a string in this format:
110201543:AAHdqTcvCH1vGWJxfSeofSAs0K5PALDsaw

This token is required to authorize your bot and send requests to the Telegram Bot API. Keep it private — anyone who has it can take full control of your bot.

What if I lose my token or it gets compromised?

Send the /token command to @botfather, select your bot, and it will generate a new token. The old one will be immediately invalidated.
