Sending telegram messages

[jaume]

Hi,


I would like to send messages to the phone of our employees, from our ERP (developed by ourselves in visual studio 2008), through Telegram application. I've been searching a lot in internet and I found anything useful for me. I see there is an API available, but I don't know how to use it in VS2008. Can you help me, please?


If you know any application that can send messages for me using in batch mode, it would be useful as well.


Thank you very much!

Is it a .NET API or unmanaged, e.g. C++?

I don't know exactly. It's available on https://core.telegram.org/api, but I don't know what to download and how to use that. I expected a 'dll' and there is nothing like this. Can you help me please?

Thank you very much!

I expected a 'dll' and there is nothing like this.

Then it is presumably a web service. I suggest that you do a bit more research.

Thanks for the reply but I think it's not a web service. I've googleing and I found nothing about it.

When looking for the API I get this page: https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/tree/master/Telegram, with lots of files that I don't know which to donwload, how to install neither how to use them. It's for me very confusing. Others external API's that I have worked with were just a 'dll' that I had to add reference from my Visual Studio, but this one is overtaking me.

Thanks for your help!

That looks like the source for an XCODE project, which is an Apple IDE. I'm guessing that that project is an application that utilises the Telegram API.

I just did a quick web search and found this:

The fact that the first answer mentions consuming a REST service rather suggests that that Telegram API is a REST service.

Thanks, I will have a look at that. I don't know what's a REST service, but I hope I will figure it out.
