Send and receive messages via the Telegram Bot API using curl.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# telegram
## Instructions
Use this skill to interact with Telegram via the Bot API. All operations use
`curl` against `https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/...`.
### Prerequisites
The environment variable `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` must be set to a valid Telegram
Bot API token (obtained from @BotFather). The variable `TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID` should
be set to the target chat/group/channel ID for sending messages.
### Sending a message
```bash
curl -s "https://api.telegram.org/bot${TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN}/sendMessage" \
-d chat_id="${TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID}" \
-d text="Hello from shellm" \
-d parse_mode=Markdown
```
### Sending a file/document
```bash
curl -s "https://api.telegram.org/bot${TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN}/sendDocument" \
-F chat_id="${TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID}" \
-F document=@/path/to/file.txt
```
### Getting updates (receiving messages)
Poll for new messages using `getUpdates`. Use `offset` to acknowledge
previously seen updates and only receive new ones.
```bash
# Get latest updates
curl -s "https://api.telegram.org/bot${TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN}/getUpdates" \
-d limit=10 \
-d timeout=0
# Acknowledge up to update_id 12345 and get only newer updates

How to install
mdr add laude-institute/headlong/telegram@sha256:f951ce72fc336fadThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260516.4f7c023, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
