Create a Telegram Bot

1. Open Telegram and message @BotFather
2. Send /newbot and follow the prompts
3. Note the bot token provided by BotFather

Configure OpenBee

Add to your config.yaml:

bee:
  platforms:
    telegram:
      enabled: true
      token: "your-bot-token"
      max_media_size: 52428800  # 50MB, optional

Deploy

Restart OpenBee. The Telegram bot will start polling for messages automatically. Users can find your bot by its username and start chatting.

Media Support

Telegram supports media files up to the configured max_media_size (default 50MB). This is limited by Telegram's Bot API file size restrictions.
