Create a Telegram Bot and Get Chat ID

Create a Telegram Bot: Open Telegram and start a chat with @BotFather. Send /newbot, follow the instructions, and record the bot token (e.g., 123456789:AAF...). Obtain the Chat ID: Add the bot to a group or send it a direct message. Send a test message, then retrieve the chat ID using: curl https://api.telegram.org/bot<your_bot_token>/getUpdates In the JSON response, find "chat":{"id":<chat_id>} (e.g., 123456789 or -123456789 for groups). Alternatively, use @GetIDsBot to get the chat ID easily.
