# PumpBot: TelegramAPI.json

{% hint style="info" %}
Only needed for the PumpBot.
{% endhint %}

You only need to do this once on the setup. And we recommend to use the Telegram API for the Detection. 

### The telegramAPI.json

Below you see the telegramAPI.json. If you want to use the Telegram API you need to enter the following things: TelegramAPI, TelegramHash and your phone number in the international format, that means starting with a + at the beginning. All the Values need to entered between the quotation marks, only the TELEGRAM\_API doesnt need the quotation marks. 

```
{
   "TelegramAPI": TELEGRAM_API,
   "TelegramHash": "TELEGRAM_HASH",
   "TelegramPhoneNumber": "+PHONENUMBER"
}
```

## Get your Telegram API Keys

The easiest way is to follow the instructions in the video below. As platform select web.

#### The same as above just with pictures

So first we need to go to: <https://my.telegram.org/auth> this is what you on the first picture below. Enter your phone number and hit "Next". Telegram will send you an authorization/confirmation token which you need to enter.&#x20;

Next we select the "API development tools" as you can see on the second picture below.

Enter an App title and a short name, select web as platform, as url [www.telegram.org](http://www.telegram.org) and click create application Now you can copy your api\_id and api\_hash into the telegramAPI.json file. And you are done. Now the Bot can read your Telegram Chats. As platform you can select web or app, I think that doesnt makes a difference.
