FAQ

Developers building Telegram bots or setting up automated notifications frequently need to find their exact Chat ID, Group ID, or Channel ID. Unfortunately, the official Telegram app doesn't display these internal IDs anywhere in the user interface. Our Telegram Chat ID Extractor is a free, secure, client-side utility that solves this problem. By utilizing the official getUpdates API, you simply input your bot token and send a test message. Within seconds, our tool intercepts the webhook payload and extracts your numerical Chat ID. Because the API requests are made directly from your browser, your sensitive Bot Token remains completely private and is never logged on our servers.
