Why is the API key needed for bots?
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
Requests against the official bot API endpoints are made via JSON/HTTP and are handled by an intermediate server
|
|
application that implements the MTProto protocol and uses its own API key to communicate with the MTProto servers.

|
|
Using MTProto is the only way to communicate with the actual Telegram servers, and the main API requires developers to
|
|
identify applications by means of a unique key; the bot token identifies a bot as a user and replaces the user's phone
|
|
number only. |
