0006_How to find out Chat ID in Telegram

There are a few ways to get chat_ID. During the experiments, I added a bot that had to show a chat_ID of my group, but instead of showing me information, it deleted my chat. This action was not insecure at all.

! Be aware. Study the security issue before you add any bot to the group.

Here are my steps:

1. Create a group
2. Go to Group Settings and change Group type from Prived to Public
3. Change Link: in my example is: t.me/TelePuzic10
4. In your web browser, request: https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR BOT TOKEN>/getChat?chat_id=@TelePuzic10
5. Take a look at the response. Your chat ID is “-100xx..xx”
6. Go to Group Settings and change Group type from Public to Prived
