Telegram Bot Builder
A comprehensive guide to building production-ready Telegram bots with Node.js or Python. Covers the full Bot API v9.4 including webhooks vs polling, inline keyboards, callback queries, media handling, payments, and deployment patterns for Docker, PM2, and serverless. The docs are unusually thorough on the details that actually matter: conversation state management, rate limit handling, proper error responses, and security basics like token storage and webhook validation. Includes working code snippets for both node-telegram-bot-api and python-telegram-bot ecosystems. Good for both first-time bot builders and developers migrating existing bots to production infrastructure.
