I have the following code in Python to send a message to myself from a bot.
import requests
token = '123456789:ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHI'
method = 'sendMessage'
myuserid = 1949275XX
response = requests.post(
url='https://api.telegram.org/bot{0}/{1}'.format(token, method),
data={'chat_id': myuserid, 'text': 'hello friend'}
).json()
print(response)
but this returns {'description': 'Bad Request: chat not found', 'error_code': 400, 'ok': False}
What am I doing wrong? I got myuserid by sending /getid to @myidbot and I got my token from @BotFather

As @maak pointed out, you need to first send a message to the bot before the bot can send messages to you.

I was using prefix @ before the value of chat_id as suggested everywhere. I removed it and it started working.
Note: if your chat id is 12345678 then you need to prefix it with -100 such that it is -10012345678.
Example Postman call:
/sendMessage?chat_id=-10012345678&text=Let's get together

If your trying to send messages to a group, you must add a ‘-‘ in front of your chat ID.
For example:
TELEGRAM_REG_CHAT_ID="1949275XX"
should be
TELEGRAM_REG_CHAT_ID="-1949275XX"

There is a way to send notifications messages to telegram. It’s a bit tricky but the tutorial is great!
http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/75-debian/351-debian-send-telegram-notification
I just sended a message of my apache state to a privat channel.
Works also on public channel but it’s not what i wantet. As you call a script (bash) you can prepare the parameters in any script language.
Hope that helps.

If you want to use a bot message to the channel, you can refer step here
Steps:
- Create a Telegram public channel
- Create a Telegram BOT (for example
x_bot) via BotFather - Set the
x_botas an administrator in your channel
the chat_id is @x_bot, it’s a part of https://t.me/x_bot that does not add your channel name.

I had some trouble with this after upgrading to a supergroup. The chat_id was updated and it was a bit harder to find this new id.
In the end I solved this with this by following this comment: https://stackoverflow.com/a/56078309/14213187

If you use a username, it does not require any prefix. That means the following are incorrect:
https://t.me/vahid_esmaily_ie
t.me/vahid_esmaily_ie
And this is the correct case:

Make sure you use user id instead of username if you’re sending message to user.
From the docs:
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| chat_id | Integer or String | Yes | Unique identifier for the target chat or username of the target channel (in the format @channelusername) |
| … | … | … | … |
To get the chat id programmatically, see Getting updates for ways to get Update JSON object. For example, when a user sends a message, the Update object will have a Message object inside it which has a Chat object which has the chat id. Turns out the chat id is the same as the user id.

Please check the bot token is correct and that you’ve messaged & obtained the chat id from the same bot which is configured.
Chat IDs are unique to each bot for every user and cannot be shared/reused.
I have tried with another bot chat id, i have got same error. The token is
correct cause, i can send text via bot api.
…
You can’t use «another bot» chat id. I just tested this on a fresh project and I can send the notification without issues.
Here’s how it should be:
- Bot A Token is configured.
- You message Bot A.
- You save the chat ID of the user gotten to your Bot A.
- You use that chat ID to send notifications from your Bot A.
Do not mix with different bots.
Also, what version of Laravel and this channel lib you’re using?
I have done the steps appropriately. Laravel 7 and latest version on the

You can use a Telegram bot named @userinfobot to get the ID of a user. Beware, there are many accounts named @userinfobot, use them only if they are a bot.

@gorkau your advice working, sending to user_id works fine.
But I think that package should send messages by user’s login as well

Images and screenshots can be a nice addition to a post, but please make sure the post is still clear and useful without them. If you post images of code or error messages make sure you also copy and paste or type the actual code/message into the post directly. See the meta post Discourage screenshots of code and/or errors.

,Other commands like /start or just answering on usual messages works fine, but this is the error I get when trying to send the bitcoin rate:,
Stack Overflow for Teams

,Of course, don’t forget to edit your chatId, which has to be «The unique identifier for the target chat or username of the target channel (in the format @channelusername)».
It looks like you are giving several arguments for your text parameter, try to wrap it up in a statement, like:
text = json.loads(response)
messageText = 'Продажа '+text["RUB"]["sell"]+'рублей'+'\nПокупка '+text["RUB"]["buy"]+'рублей'
So that:
@bot.message_handler(commands=['bit'])
def bit(message):
link = 'https://blockchain.info/ru/ticker'
response = requests.get(link).text
text = json.loads(response)
chatId = '@channelusername'
messageText = 'Продажа '+text["RUB"]["sell"]+'рублей'+'\nПокупка '+text["RUB"]["buy"]+'рублей'
bot.send_message(chatId, messageText, parse_mode=HTML)

The query contains errors. In the event that a request was created using a form and contains user generated data, the user should be notified that the data must be corrected before the query is repeated.,USER_MIGRATE_X: the user whose identity is being used to execute queries is associated with a different data center (for registration),In all these cases, the error description’s string literal contains the number of the data center (instead of the X) to which the repeated query must be sent.
More information about redirects between data centers »,PHONE_MIGRATE_X: the phone number a user is trying to use for authorization is associated with a different data center.
Error Type
A string literal in the form of /[A-Z_0-9]+/, which summarizes the problem. For example, AUTH_KEY_UNREGISTERED. This is an optional parameter.

When my Telegram bot sends sendMessage to Telegram server it gets the error message:,Your bot is stuck to some state where it is sending an empty message. Somehow it will not process any other request on the same URL until that state is changed. Are you printing a list which has the possibility of being empty ?, as I did in my to-do list bot. You can consider running segments of your code one by one till you find the empty message printing segment. ,I got this error too.
