Hey everyone, I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to get my Telegram bot into a public channel where I’m not an admin. Is this even possible? I’ve been wondering if maybe I could use the channel’s chat ID or some kind of special link to make it work.
I’ve heard rumors that some folks can somehow join their bots to channels and collect data without being admins. If Telegram doesn’t officially allow this, how are they pulling it off? Does anyone know any tricks or workarounds?
I’m really curious about this because it could be super useful for my project. Has anyone here ever managed to do something like this? Or is it just not doable without admin permissions? Any insights would be awesome!
As someone who’s been knee-deep in Telegram bot development, I can tell you that adding a bot to a public channel without admin rights is a no-go. Telegram’s got that locked down tight for security reasons.
I once tried to find a workaround for a similar situation, but it led nowhere. The closest I got was using a user account instead of a bot, but that’s against Telegram’s terms and can get you banned.
Your best shot is to reach out to the channel admins directly. I’ve had success with this approach before. Craft a compelling pitch about how your bot could benefit their channel. If they see value in it, they might just give you the green light.
Remember, even if you hear about people somehow bypassing these restrictions, it’s likely not above board. Stick to the official methods to keep your account and bot safe.
I’ve been working with Telegram bots for a while now, and I can say with certainty that it’s not possible to add a bot to a public channel without admin rights. Telegram’s security measures are pretty strict about this. The rumors you’ve heard about people collecting data without admin permissions are likely just that - rumors. Or they might be referring to methods that violate Telegram’s terms of service.
If you’re looking to gather data from a channel, your best bet is to reach out to the channel admins and request permission. They might be open to adding your bot if you explain its purpose and how it could benefit their channel. Alternatively, you could consider creating your own channel and inviting users to join, giving you full control over bot integration.
nah, man. u cant add bots to channels without admin rights. telegram’s pretty tight on that. heard those rumors too, but its probs just bs or sketchy stuff. ur best bet is to hit up the admins and ask nice. maybe theyll let u in if ur bots cool enough. good luck bro!
