I want to create a bot that posts messages on channels / groups,
the user sends the group address for example: #group_name, and I need to get the ID, title
I work with telebot library
#bot.message_handler(commands=['addgroup'])
def add_group(message):
msg = bot.send_message(message.chat.id, 'Send group link without #')
bot.register_next_step_handler(msg, add)
def add(message):
url = "telegram.me/" + message.text
keyboard = types.InlineKeyboardMarkup()
keyboard.add(types.InlineKeyboardButton("##HERE I NEED GROUP NAME##", url=url))
msg = bot.send_message(message.chat.id, "Add this group?", reply_markup=keyboard)
bot.register_next_step_handler(msg, check_group)
....
How can I get this information?
Let's read telegram docs...
getChat
Use this method to get up to date information about the chat (current name of the user for one-on-one conversations, current username of a user, group or channel, etc.).
Returns a Chat object on success.
Parameters:
chat_id - unique identifier for the target chat or username of the target supergroup or channel (in the format #channelusername).
So,
chat = bot.get_chat('#username')
P.S.: register_next_step_handler is antipattern, use aiogram's FSM instead.
Trying to get my head around how CyberSource works..
In CyberSource, the Secure Acceptance Flexible Token API can be used to tokenize a credit card on client-side for processing for future processing.
That part is easy enough. There's plenty of documentation and a few packages that do it.
How do I then use that token to create a charge with the CyberSource Payments API ?
All examples i've found show how to tokenize the card on client, and how to charge an untokenized card (i.e. card data is sent to server) but I can't find an example that show how to use the Flexible token to create a charge (or pre-auth).
In most other gateways like Stripe, it's pretty clear in documentations but CyberSource doesn't seem to provide that.
Am I missing something?
I'm using Node but happy with solutions in other languages.
https://developer.cybersource.com/api-reference-assets/index.html#flex
https://developer.visa.com/capabilities/cybersource/reference
Ok, thanks to #rhldr for pointing out to this particular documentation.
The answer is in this page https://developer.cybersource.com/api/developer-guides/dita-flex/SAFlexibleToken/FlexMicroform/GetStarted.html under "Using the Token".
Note: Some of the other documentations (not sure why they have some many variations of the docs), like this one don't mention this at all.
See the RESTPaymentAPI section. It needs to be provided as a customerId field.
"paymentInformation": {
"customer": {
"customerId": "7500BB199B4270EFE05340588D0AFCAD"
}
}
Here's a minimal example of how it can be implemented on the API side
var cybersourceRestApi = require('cybersource-rest-client');
var configuration = require('./cybersource/config.js');
var configObject = new configuration();
var instance = new cybersourceRestApi.PaymentsApi(configObject);
var clientReferenceInformation = new cybersourceRestApi.Ptsv2paymentsClientReferenceInformation();
clientReferenceInformation.code = 'test_payment';
var processingInformation = new cybersourceRestApi.Ptsv2paymentsProcessingInformation();
processingInformation.commerceIndicator = 'internet';
var amountDetails = new cybersourceRestApi.Ptsv2paymentsOrderInformationAmountDetails();
amountDetails.totalAmount = "100.00";
amountDetails.currency = 'USD';
var orderInformation = new cybersourceRestApi.Ptsv2paymentsOrderInformation();
orderInformation.amountDetails = amountDetails;
var paymentInformation = new cybersourceRestApi.Ptsv2paymentsPaymentInformation();
// THIS IS THE IMPORTANT BIT
var customer = new cybersourceRestApi.Ptsv2paymentsPaymentInformationCustomer()
customer.customerId = token
paymentInformation.customer = customer
var request = new cybersourceRestApi.CreatePaymentRequest();
request.clientReferenceInformation = clientReferenceInformation;
request.processingInformation = processingInformation;
request.orderInformation = orderInformation;
request.paymentInformation = paymentInformation;
if (!authoriseOnly) {
request.processingInformation.capture = true;
}
Code based on the CyberSource nodejs REST samples: https://github.com/CyberSource/cybersource-rest-samples-node
More info. Once you know where to look, it's actually explained in a few places.
Example, go to https://developer.cybersource.com/cybs-dev-api-ref/index.html#payments-process-a-payment, expand the "REQUEST FIELD DESCRIPTION" underneath and go to
customer
.. customerId
Unique identifier for the customer's card
and billing information.
When you use Payment Tokenization or Recurring Billing and you include
this value in your request, many of the fields that are normally
required for an authorization or credit become optional.
NOTE When you use Payment Tokenization or Recurring Billing, the value
for the Customer ID is actually the Cybersource payment token for a
customer. This token stores information such as the consumer’s card
number so it can be applied towards bill payments, recurring payments,
or one-time payments. By using this token in a payment API request,
the merchant doesn't need to pass in data such as the card number or
expiration date in the request itself.
See "Payment Tokenization," page 222, and "Recurring Billing," page
225.
I've been using telegram_bot, and trying to get groupChat id to send notifications to group chat, but don't know which methods I have to use for it.
For getting chat id I use to message.chat.id when the bot participated in the chat but which I have to use for getting group chat id can't find/
In order to get the group chat id, do as follows:
Add the Telegram BOT to the group.
Get the list of updates for your BOT:
https://api.telegram.org/bot<YourBOTToken>/getUpdates
Ex:
https://api.telegram.org/bot123456789:jbd78sadvbdy63d37gda37bd8/getUpdates
Look for the "chat" object:
{"update_id":8393,"message":{"message_id":3,"from":{"id":7474,"first_name":"AAA"},"chat":{"id":<group_ID>,"title":""},"date":25497,"new_chat_participant":{"id":71,"first_name":"NAME","username":"YOUR_BOT_NAME"}}}
This is a sample of the response when you add your BOT into a group.
Use the "id" of the "chat" object to send your messages.
(If you created the new group with the bot and you only get {"ok":true,"result":[]}, remove and add the bot again to the group)
Private chart only works in image argoprojlabs/argocd-notifications:v1.1.0 or above.
Here is the sequence that worked for me after struggling for several hours:
Assume the bot name is my_bot.
1- Add the bot to the group.
Go to the group, click on group name, click on Add members, in the searchbox search for your bot like this: #my_bot, select your bot and click add.
2- Send a dummy message to the bot. You can use this example: /my_id #my_bot
(I tried a few messages, not all the messages work. The example above works fine. Maybe the message should start with /)
3- Go to following url: https://api.telegram.org/botXXX:YYYY/getUpdates
replace XXX:YYYY with your bot token
4- Look for "chat":{"id":-zzzzzzzzzz,
-zzzzzzzzzz is your chat id (with the negative sign).
5- Testing: You can test sending a message to the group with a curl:
curl -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/botXXX:YYYY/sendMessage" -d "chat_id=-zzzzzzzzzz&text=my sample text"
If you miss step 2, there would be no update for the group you are looking for. Also if there are multiple groups, you can look for the group name in the response ("title":"group_name").
As of May 2021, simply:
Invite #RawDataBot to your group.
Upon joining it will output a JSON file where your chat id will be located at message.chat.id.
"message": {
"chat": {
"id": -210987654,
"title": ...,
"type": "group",
...
}
...
}
Be sure to kick #RawDataBot from your group afterwards.
After mid-2018:
1:) Invite #getidsbot or #RawDataBot to your group and get your group id from the chat id field.
Message
├ message_id: 338
├ from
┊ ├ id: *****
┊ ├ is_bot: false
┊ ├ first_name: 사이드
┊ ├ username: ******
┊ └ language_code: en
├ chat
┊ ├ id: -1001118554477 // This is Your Group id
┊ ├ title: Test Group
┊ └ type: supergroup
├ date: 1544948900
└ text: A
2:) use an unofficial Messenger like Plus Messenger and see your group id in group/channel info.
Before mid-2018: (don't Use)
1: Goto (https://web.telegram.org)
2: Goto your Gorup and Find your link of Gorup(https://web.telegram.org/#/im?p=g154513121)
3: Copy That number after g and put a (-) Before That -154513121
4: Send Your Message to Gorup
bot.sendMessage(-154513121, "Hi")
I Tested Now and Work like a Charm
the simplest way i found using only telegram-web :
open web.telegram in browser ( chrome in my case )
right click on the group name on the left menu
click 'inspect' button
you will see the group id in the attribute
data-peer-id="-xxxxxxxxxx" or peer="-xxxxxxxxxx"
group chat id : -xxxxxxxxxx
channel chat id : -100xxxxxxxxxx
(for some channels/groups you need to add -100 prefix)
Edit :
in some cases the ID is shown in the browsers address bar when you click a group name
https://web.telegram.org/z/#-xxxxxxxxxx
You can get Chat ID in this way.
On private chat with your bot, send a random message. You will search this message later.
Get Your API-token from bot_father : XXXXXXXXX:YYYYYYY-YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY_YY
Then, on your browser make a request with that url :
https://api.telegram.org/botXXXXXXXXX:YYYYYYY-YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY_YY/getUpdates
The request returns a json response, in json text search your random message and get chat id in that object.
Using python and telethon it's very easy to get chat id. This solution is best for those who work with telegram API.
If you don't have telethon, run this:
pip install telethon
If you don't have a registered app with telegram, register one:
The link is this: https://my.telegram.org/
Then run the following code:
from telethon import InteractiveTelegramClient
from telethon.utils.tl_utils import get_display_name
client = InteractiveTelegramClient('session_id', 'YOUR_PHONE_NUMBER', api_id=1234YOURAPI_ID, api_hash='YOUR_API_HASH')
dialog_count = 10
dialogs, entities = client.get_dialogs(dialog_count)
for i, entity in enumerate(entities):
i += 1 # 1-based index
print('{}. {}. id: {}'.format(i, get_display_name(entity), entity.id))
You may want to send a message to your group so the group show up in top of the list.
You can retrieve the group ID the same way. It appears in the message body as message.chat.id and it's usually a negative number, where normal chats are positive.
Group IDs and Chat IDs can only be retrieved from a received message, there are no calls available to retrieve active groups etc. You have to remember the group ID when you receive the message and store it in cache or something similar.
My second Solution for the error {"ok":true,"result":[]}
Go in your Telegram Group
Add new User (Invite)
Search for "getidsbot" => #getidsbot
Message: /start#getidsbot
Now you see the ID. looks like 1068773197, which is -1001068773197 for bots (with -100 prefix)!!!
Kick the bot from the Group.
Now go to the Webbrowser an send this line (Test Message):
https://api.telegram.org/botAPITOKENNUMBER:APITOKENKEYHERE/sendmessage?chat_id=-100GROUPNUMBER&text=test
Edit the API Token and the Group-ID!
go on the group of choice
add #rose bot
type the command /id
type the command /id
create a bot, or if already created set as follows:
has access to messages
apparently, regardless of how old/new the Telegram group is:
add a bot to the group
remove bot from the group
add bot again to the group
create a script file and run getUpdates method
example:
var vApiTokenTelegram = "1234567890:???>yg5GeL5PuItAOEhvdcPPELAOCCy3jBo"; // #?????Bot API token
var vUrlTelegram = "https://api.telegram.org/bot" + vApiTokenTelegram;
function getUpdates() {
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(vUrlTelegram + "/getUpdates");
console.log(response.getContentText());
}
function shall log to the console the following:
[20-04-21 00:46:11:130 PDT] {"ok":true,"result":[{"update_id":81329501,
"message":{"message_id":975,"from":{"id":962548471,"is_bot":false,"first_name":"Trajano","last_name":"Roberto","username":"TrajanoRoberto","language_code":"en"},"chat":{"id":-1001202656383,"title":"R\u00e1dioRN - A voz da na\u00e7\u00e3o!","type":"supergroup"},"date":1587454914,"left_chat_participant":{"id":1215098445,"is_bot":true,"first_name":"MediaFlamengoRawBot","username":"MediaFlamengoRawBot"},"left_chat_member":{"id":1215098445,"is_bot":true,"first_name":"MediaFlamengoRawBot","username":"MediaFlamengoRawBot"}}},{"update_id":81329502,
"message":{"message_id":976,"from":{"id":962548471,"is_bot":false,"first_name":"Trajano","last_name":"Roberto","username":"TrajanoRoberto","language_code":"en"},"chat":{"id":-1001202656383,"title":"R\u00e1dioRN - A voz da na\u00e7\u00e3o!","type":"supergroup"},"date":1587454932,"new_chat_participant":{"id":1215098445,"is_bot":true,"first_name":"MediaFlamengoRawBot","username":"MediaFlamengoRawBot"},"new_chat_member":{"id":1215098445,"is_bot":true,"first_name":"MediaFlamengoRawBot","username":"MediaFlamengoRawBot"},"new_chat_members":[{"id":1215098445,"is_bot":true,"first_name":"MediaFlamengoRawBot","username":"MediaFlamengoRawBot"}]}}]}
Telegram group chat_id can be extracted from above message
"chat":{"id":-1001202656383,"title"
Group chat id should start with - (minus) is essential
This is wrong
10540154212
This is correct
-10540154212
You can get your id by sending a /start message to the bot userinfobot
Note: once u search for userinfobot in telegram u get many responses.
Makesure u choose the one with #bot tag
I tested now 4h but it dont work 2021 with the group-chat-id. All the time the error {"ok":true,"result":[]}
But now i found a Solution:
1:) install the "Plus Messenger" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.telegram.plus)
2:) go in the Group => Tap now on the "Group-Name" in the Head => Double Tap now on the Headline from the Group. A Info is comming: ID123456789 is copy in the clipboard
3:) go in the Group an paste the clipboard text. It´s you Groud-ID
4:) looks like 1068773197, which is -1001068773197 for bots (with -100 prefix)!!!
btw, you see the user-id too, on your profil.
5:) Now go to the Webbrowser an send this line (Test Message):
https://api.telegram.org/botAPITOKENNUMBER:APITOKENKEYHERE/sendmessage?chat_id=-100GROUPNUMBER&text=test
Edit the API Token and the Group-ID!
IMHO the best way to do this is using TeleThon, but given that the answer by apadana is outdated beyond repair, I will write the working solution here:
import os
import sys
from telethon import TelegramClient
from telethon.utils import get_display_name
import nest_asyncio
nest_asyncio.apply()
session_name = "<session_name>"
api_id = <api_id>
api_hash = "<api_hash>"
dialog_count = 10 # you may change this
if f"{session_name}.session" in os.listdir():
os.remove(f"{session_name}.session")
client = TelegramClient(session_name, api_id, api_hash)
async def main():
dialogs = await client.get_dialogs(dialog_count)
for dialog in dialogs:
print(get_display_name(dialog.entity), dialog.entity.id)
async with client:
client.loop.run_until_complete(main())
this snippet will give you the first 10 chats in your Telegram.
Assumptions:
you have telethon and nest_asyncio installed
you have api_id and api_hash from my.telegram.org
I don't understand why the most obvious (and probably the simplest) answer isn't here.
As you are writing a bot, you can get the id with these three simple lines:
bot.on('message', (msg) => {
console.log(msg)
})
Then just check the groupId from the console :D
And as you are probably trying to look the groupId to be able to send message to a group with your bot, the correct answer is probably this:
You don't use anymore the groupId. You use the group name (the one with https://t.me/careless_whisper) prefixed with #. And remember that your group has to be public. Source: Telegram API
So if your group name is careless_whisper the recipient will be #careless_whisper
I'd like to note very specific case made me monkey around it.
I've got the chat_id with above steps in the format like -1001379XXXXXX. So I just supposed the real id is 1001379XXXXXX, and left it in a such format to the grafana admin page. But in fact the id got this - as the integral part. If was really needed to be copied together with numbers.
function adminCheck( chat_id, name ) {
var bAdminCheck = false;
var contents = JSON.parse( getAdmin( chat_id ) );
var i = 0;
while( !bAdminCheck && (i < contents.result.length ) ) {
if( name == (contents.result[i].user.first_name + " " + contents.result[i].user.last_name) ) {
bAdminCheck = true;
}
i++;
}
return bAdminCheck;
}
If you are implementing your bot, keep stored a group name -> id table, and ask it with a command. Then you can also send per name.
How can I create a chat group in SignalR? I tried to find some examples and they weren't helpful. Any help would be appreciated. Here is what I've come up with so far:
public void CreateGroup(string currentUserId, string toConnectTo)
{
string strGroupName = GetUniqueGroupName(currentUserId, toConnectTo);
string connectionId_To = OnlineUser.userObj.Where(item => item.userId == toConnectTo).Select(item => item.connectionId).SingleOrDefault();
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(connectionId_To))
{
Groups.Add(Context.ConnectionId, strGroupName);
Groups.Add(connectionId_To, strGroupName);
Clients.Caller.setChatWindow(strGroupName, toConnectTo);
}
}
It's not such easy to create a user friendly chat group that I'm currently working on.
I use sql database, user can register, login, logout, close browser or phone app without logout.
user can create own group, add members to group, delete member from group.
when user send message, call signalr Server method and store message in sql, then Server send message to all users in the same group. if some users are offline, they read message from sql when online again.
the input for the message can be a 'contenteditable div' so that user can add images and formatted text to the message.
something like that!
