    - 12345

Configuration variables:

  • allowed_chat_ids (Required): A list of user in the user_id Telegram format enabled to interact to webhook
  • api_key (Required): The API token of your bot.
  • parse_mode (Optional): Default parser for messages if not explicit in message data: 'html' or 'markdown'. Default is 'markdown'.
