## Getting token for Telegram
|
|
|
|
In order to get token "just talk to [BotFather](https://core.telegram.org/bots#6-botfather)". All you need is to send `/newbot` command, and choose the name for your bot (it must end in `bot`). This is it, you got a token which you'll need to write down into remark42 configuration as `TELEGRAM_TOKEN`.
|
|
|
|
_Example of such a "talk":_
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Umputun:
|
|
/newbot
|
|
|
|
BotFather:
|
|
Alright, a new bot. How are we going to call it? Please choose a name for your bot.
|
|
|
|
Umputun:
|
|
example_comments
|
|
|
|
BotFather:
|
|
Good. Now let's choose a username for your bot. It must end in `bot`. Like this, for example: TetrisBot or tetris_bot.
|
|
|
|
Umputun:
|
|
example_comments_bot
|
|
|
|
BotFather:
|
|
Done! Congratulations on your new bot. You will find it at t.me/example_comments_bot. You can now add a description, about section and profile picture for your bot, see /help for a list of commands. By the way, when you've finished creating your cool bot, ping our Bot Support if you want a better username for it. Just make sure the bot is fully operational before you do this.
