Use when building or auditing a Telegram bot on the Bot API: polling or webhooks, update dedup, Stars payments, rate limits. Not for user accounts (telegram-userbots) or Mini Apps (telegram-miniapps). Opt out: no telegram, без телеграма. Triggers - "telegram bot", "aiogram", "телеграм бот".

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.

What the file says

# Telegram bots — the official Bot API

Telegram holds the chat. Your database holds everything you will act on later.
**Every serious bot defect is an update that was processed twice, or one that was
never delivered because nobody asked for it.**

The Bot API is not where bots fail. They fail at the seam: the update redelivered
after a crash, the member event that never arrives because of a default nobody
read, the payment confirmed from the wrong signal, the broadcast that trips 429
at user 31 and silently stops.

*Read against the Bot API on 2026-08-25, at version **10.3** (released
2026-08-24). Re-check `core.telegram.org/bots/api-changelog` before quoting a
version: this API ships roughly monthly. Re-checked 2026-10-19: 10.3 is still
the latest. For a machine to read, Telegram serves the docs as Markdown at the
same path plus `.md`: `core.telegram.org/bots/api.md`, one file per method
(`/bots/api/methods/getupdates.md`) and a types index (`/bots/api/types.md`).
That is official and parseable, but it is Markdown, not a JSON schema.*

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ssheleg/telegram-dev/telegram-bots@sha256:1e27205cfcdceb32

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.d064a93, 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.
