Bot API
Definition
The Telegram Bot API is the official HTTP interface developers and tools use to build bots that send messages, moderate groups, run mini apps and accept payments.
Unlike automating a personal account (a userbot), a bot built on the Bot API has its own identity, separate from any human user, which is the method Telegram officially supports and documents.
Because the Bot API is sanctioned, bots don't risk the personal-account bans that userbots invite. Tools like GramMaker use the Bot API to power scheduling, moderation, broadcasts, analytics and payments safely.
