FAQPage Schema
How do I deploy a Telegraf bot to Vercel or Railway with webhooks?

Deploy Telegraf bots to Vercel or Railway by configuring environment-specific webhooks for production and polling for local development. Set secure webhook tokens, validate incoming updates, and use platform-ready deployment patterns to ensure reliable message delivery without missing updates.

How do I debug Telegram webhook configuration issues?

Diagnose webhook problems by verifying your bot token, checking that the webhook URL is publicly accessible, confirming the secret token matches your configuration, and testing that Telegram can POST to your endpoint. Use polling mode locally to isolate webhook-specific issues.

Can I build a Telegram Mini App with server-side validation?

Yes. Telegram Mini Apps require server-side validation of initData signatures to verify user identity and prevent spoofing. This skill provides secure validation patterns and integration workflows for Mini Apps alongside bot development.

What's the difference between polling and webhook deployment for Telegram bots?

Polling continuously requests updates from Telegram (suitable for local development), while webhooks receive updates via HTTP callbacks (required for production). Webhooks are faster and scale better but need a public endpoint; polling works offline but consumes more resources.

How do I integrate AI chatbots with Telegram using Telegraf?

Integrate AI chatbots by using unified chat manager patterns and streaming response handlers in Telegraf. This enables real-time message handling, multi-turn conversations, and formatted AI responses within Telegram's command and message interfaces.

Do I need node-fetch to build Telegram bots with Telegraf?

node-fetch is used for making HTTP requests within your bot logic—for calling external APIs, webhooks, or AI services. Telegraf handles Telegram communication; node-fetch extends your bot's capabilities beyond Telegram's native methods.
