Custom Telegram API

Use a self-hosted Telegram Bot API server

BotMux supports pointing at a custom Telegram Bot API server (e.g., tdlib/telegram-bot-api).

Setup

# Via flag
./botmux -token "TOKEN" -tg-api "http://localhost:8081"

# Via environment variable
TELEGRAM_API_URL="http://localhost:8081" ./botmux

What It Affects

All Telegram API calls are routed through the custom URL:

• Bot polling (getUpdates)
• Bot API methods (send, ban, pin, etc.)
• API proxy (/tgapi/ forwards to custom URL instead of api.telegram.org)
• Media file downloads
