How to access api.telegram.org?

Question

Messengers

Hello.
Due to recent events, it is not possible to make a request from the server to https://api.telegram.org/bot. Are there any ways to get around this?
Thank you.

Answer 1

Use SOCKS5 proxy

#!/bin/bash
TELEGRAM_AUTH="xxx:yyy"
TELEGRAM_CHAT="-kkkkk" 
SOCKS5_PROXY="ip:port"
TELEGRAM_CMD="curl --silent --show-error --fail -G -o /dev/null -x socks5://${SOCKS5_PROXY} https://api.telegram.org/bot${TELEGRAM_AUTH}/sendSticker -d chat_id=${TELEGRAM_CHAT} "
${TELEGRAM_CMD} --data-urlencode "sticker=CAADAgADywAD41AwAAEX57BgtDqyXQI" #"text=Произвожу обновление системы..."

or in PHP

$ch = curl_init();
$url = "https://api.telegram.org/bot$auth/$method";
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, "socks5://$proxy");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, ($parameters));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
$result = curl_exec($ch);

Answer 2

I used the telegram-bot/api PHP wrapper.
In it, I corrected the vendor/telegram-bot/api/src/BotApi.php file:

public function call($method, array $data = null)
    {
        $options = [
            CURLOPT_URL => $this->getUrl().'/'.$method,
            CURLOPT_PROXY, "socks5://LOGIN:[email protected]:PORT",
            CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,
            CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
            CURLOPT_POST => null,
            CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => null,
        ];
        ...

$message['text'] = simple_template($endpoint['contact_method'] . '_text', $message_tags, array('is_file' => TRUE));
