For developers: Telegram bots

The official Telegram bot for creating and managing bots: registers a new bot in a minute, issues the API token, sets commands, description and avatar. Free, English interface, no third-party sign-up.

Forward any message, sticker or user to this bot to instantly see their numeric Telegram ID, username and other basic account info — a staple utility for bot development, whitelists and API calls. Free, no ads, over half a million monthly users.

The official Telegram bot of UptimeRobot, the most widely used free uptime monitor: delivers instant down/up alerts plus SSL and domain-expiry warnings to a chat or group. Setup of monitors still happens on the website; the free plan covers 50 monitors checked every 5 minutes.

Shows Telegram IDs: forward any message or add the bot to a group to learn user, chat, channel and sticker IDs needed for bot development and API calls. Free, no ads.
