Why not raw?
Telegram Bot API is powerful — and painful
The official API can do this. It just makes you do a lot first. Here's what raw Telegram publishing costs you, and what PostMyIsh absorbs.
Raw Telegram API
With PostMyIsh
Setup
Create a bot, wire long-polling or webhooks to receive updates
Just send — a token and a chat id is all we need
Auth
Bot token management and admin rights per channel
One encrypted bot token; you add it as admin once
Review
None — but you still call the HTTP API yourself
We POST sendMessage/sendPhoto and read the message id
Targets
Track chat ids and channel usernames by hand
Store the channel per account and reuse it
Capabilities
Everything Telegram supports, one endpoint
Post types, limits, and scheduling — all through the same POST /v1/posts call, formatted the way Telegram expects.
Photos
Pass a media URL and we use sendPhoto with your caption.
4,096 characters
Telegram's real message ceiling per send.
Fan-out
The same broadcast also hits Discord and X.
Copy, paste, ship
Real calls, not pseudocode
Every snippet hits the live API — same base URL, Bearer auth, plain JSON. Add your key and it runs.
Publish to Telegram now
One POST fans out to Telegram. The response carries the id and status the moment it ships.

Live in three steps, not three weeks
Connect Telegram, call one endpoint, and we run the Telegram Bot API plumbing behind it.
Step 01
Connect the account
Link it once from the Accounts page through its official login. The credential is stored encrypted.
Step 02
POST /v1/posts
Send one caption and the platform id. Add schedule_at to queue it, or media for a URL.
Step 03
We handle the rest
Container flows, token refresh, rate limits, and the real post id — all on our side.
Straight talk: Fully live with no app review — a @BotFather token and admin rights on your channel are the whole setup. Instant delivery, real message ids stored.
One API, eleven more
Telegram is one entry in the same array
Add another id to platforms and the identical call posts there too. One request already covers Telegram, Discord, and X — no second integration.
Telegram API FAQ
The honest answers
What's real, what needs review, and what Telegram itself requires — no hand-waving.
Is this really live?
Yes. The Telegram Bot API needs no OAuth or review — create a bot, make it a channel admin, and a publish appears immediately.
How do I set it up?
Message @BotFather to create a bot and get its token, add the bot to your channel as an admin, then connect with the token and channel id.
Can I post photos?
Yes — pass a media URL and we call sendPhoto with the caption; otherwise it's a text message.
What's the limit?
Up to 4,096 characters per message (1,024 for a photo caption), matching Telegram.
