I am currently trying to determine the username of my Telegram bot in a C# environment, but I’m not having success with the methods I have attempted so far. My initial approach involved calling an asynchronous method on my bot instance; however, this did not return the expected username details. I need an alternative strategy to correctly fetch the bot’s username via code. Below is an alternative code snippet that demonstrates a different approach:
var botInfo = await myBot.FetchBotDetailsAsync();
Console.WriteLine(botInfo.UserHandle);
Any help or guidance to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated!
hey, try using the getMe method. i ran into similar problems when the api didnt return correct info. might be an auth issue with your bot token. cheers!
It appears that using alternative libraries or correctly updating your client implementation may help. In my experience, calling the GetMeAsync method from a recent version of the Telegram.Bot package has been key. The returned object usually contains properties like Username or UserName, but ensuring your library version supports these properties is critical. Double-check your token and permissions as well. Also, verify that the asynchronous call completes before attempting to retrieve the username, as timing issues can sometimes result in missing data.
