In any case, to configure Telegram Webgram without establishing an https connection

I want to configure Telegram Webhook , but I do not have https URLs, I also do not want to deal with ssl certificates.

Is it possible to solve this problem with the https url or without installing the https certificate?

Answer 1

https is required, but that does not mean that you MUST fully install it. You can use simpler methods, let me explain:

You can connect your local host server on your own computer or Mac or Linux machine to telegram the video without installing SSL certificates. Using "ngrok.com Secure Tunnels" , you will have an https address, which is required to work with webhooks , but you do not need to configure SSL,

All necessary steps (on PC):

1- Download the ngrok.exe file

2- Run on the command line: "ngrok http 8888"

3- Done Now!

very simple, right?

After running ngrok.exe, it will show you something like: " https://abcd1234.ngrok.io " This is your temporary https that you can use as a webhook. It is valid and belongs to your bot until you close ngrok.exe (I even backup the computer without closing the application, and it remains fine for me)

In addition, this application I have access to all messages that Telegram sends to my bot and my bot-api-outputs (not including my sent message), like a JSON show. You can access this panel through http://localhost.com:4040 . This is an example:

You cannot without a proper certificate, but now it is very easy to get one (and free): https://letsencrypt.org/getting-started/

Answer 3

You have two options for receiving updates from a telegram:

• Webhook, this method only works with ssl (yes, I agree with Tom - let the encryption be awesome)
• getUpdates, which works using a long poll, this method does not require ssl. Further information in the API documentation: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#getupdates

You can use Cloudflare Universal SSL to protect your endpoint with SSL. You do not need to decide anything.
