Answer 2

I figured it out a bit:
1. Get all the messages that were sent to the bot:
https://api.telegram.org/bot***/getUpdates
Get a JSON string in the browser window (not a POST response)
2. From the received response, find out the id of the user who asked the question is
https://api.telegram.org/bot***/sendMessage?chat_i...
And in the chat you will receive a response from the bot :)))
True, I have not yet figured out how to send a request via POST...

Answer 3

https://api.telegram.org/bot number : token /sendMessage?chat_id= integer &reply_to_message_id= integer &text= Test

Answer 4

Here is an example of sending a response in Python .

import cookielib
import urllib
import urllib2
import json
CJ = cookielib.LWPCookieJar()

USER_AGENT = 'LinuxBOT'
OPENER = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(CJ))
BASE_URL = "https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/"
url = BASE_URL + 'getUpdates'
req = urllib2.Request(url)
req.add_header("Accept","application/json")
req.add_header('User-agent',USER_AGENT)
content = OPENER.open(req).read()
for result in json.loads(content)['result']:
    if(result['message']['text'] == 'привет'):
        url = BASE_URL + 'sendMessage'
        req = urllib2.Request(url)
        req.add_header("Accept","application/json")
        req.add_header('User-agent',USER_AGENT)
        req.add_data(urllib.urlencode({'chat_id':result['message']['chat']['id'],'text':'Эй Привет чувак!'}))
        OPENER.open(req).read()

Answer 5

I did not find anything in the documentation about the fact that your request can be in json format. Most likely, Telegram simply does not parse your serialization and therefore does not see the text field. It perceives all your request as one big obscure line.
