ID Finder

online · bot

Hey! I'll help you find a Telegram chat ID for your bot. First — message @BotFather and send /newbot to get a token. 09:41

Then open your bot's chat and send it anything — even /start. Telegram only shares a chat once it has messaged the bot first. 09:41

Got your token? Drop it in below and I'll ask Telegram directly — nothing passes through a server but theirs. 09:42

Runs entirely in your browser and calls Telegram's own getUpdates endpoint directly — no server in between, nothing stored. Group and channel IDs work the same way: add the bot, send a message, ask again.
