creatingBot

Introduction

Hello again! In this beginner lesson, you will learn how to create your bot in BotFather, give it a name and get an individual token.

Creating a bot

First, you need to go to telegram and find BotFather (https://t.me/BotFather). Then press button /newbot and then enter the necessary data for it.

After successfully entering the data, you will be sent a message containing the name and individual token of your bot.

We need this data in the future, so you can copy it.

Creating a bot

Next, for convenience, I present the commands that you can use in the BotFather to edit the bot:

• /setdescription the description of the bot is set, which is visible when it is launched under the inscription 'What can this bot do?'

• /setabouttext the description of the bot is set, which is visible on the bot page and is displayed when your bot is forwarded

• /setuserpic your bot's avatar is being installed

• /setcommands setting all the commands of your bot that are displayed when the menu button is pressed

• /setjoingroups is it allowed to add your bot to chats/groups

The rest of the list of commands can be found in the bot itself.

This completes the bot setup, in the next lesson we will directly proceed to writing code and implementing the simplest command of sending messages.
