## Setup your Telegram bot
|
|
The only things you need is a working Telegram bot and its API token.
|
|
Below we explain how to create your Telegram Bot, and how to get your
|
|
Telegram user id.
|
|
|
|
### 1. Create your Telegram bot
|
|
**1.1. Start a chat with https://telegram.me/BotFather**
|
|
**1.2. Send the message** `/newbot`
|
|
*BotFather response:*
|
|
```
|
|
Alright, a new bot. How are we going to call it? Please choose a name for your bot.
|
|
```
|
|
**1.3. Choose the public name of your bot (e.g "`Freqtrade bot`")**
|
|
*BotFather response:*
|
|
```
|
|
Good. Now let's choose a username for your bot. It must end in `bot`. Like this, for example: TetrisBot or tetris_bot.
|
|
```
|
|
**1.4. Choose the name id of your bot (e.g "`My_own_freqtrade_bot`")**
|
|
**1.5. Father bot will return you the token (API key)**
|
|
Copy it and keep it you will use it for the config parameter `token`.
|
|
*BotFather response:*
|
|
```
|
|
Done! Congratulations on your new bot. You will find it at t.me/My_own_freqtrade_bot. You can now add a description, about section and profile picture for your bot, see /help for a list of commands. By the way, when you've finished creating your cool bot, ping our Bot Support if you want a better username for it. Just make sure the bot is fully operational before you do this.
