Telegram bot API

Thank you Erwin.
I did it.

Hi there,
let me give you the instruction to use Telegram (https://telegram.org/)  as instant message service. Follow these steps:

- install telegram in your phone
- searching on app the BotFather and this easy telegram program can allow you to create your own bot. Here you will find your bot "TOKEN number".
- Share your bot to your user and send a simple message to it.
- After that you can find your CHAT_ID which you can read with a URL request https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/getUpdates.

Add user script as follow (user.telegram)

require 'ssl.https'

local telegram_url = 'https://api.telegram.org/bot<token_bot>/sendMessage?'

local chat_id = '<chat_id>'

function telegram(message)

  local data_str = 'chat_id=' .. chat_id .. '&text=' .. message..''

     local res, code, headers, status = ssl.https.request(telegram_url, data_str)
end

Add a event-script as follow example:


require("user.telegram")

  message = ('<your own message>')

telegram (message)
end

Have fun!
