How to find the id of a group chat in telegram?

Question

Telegram

Hello.
I need a telegram bot to send messages to a group chat. As I understand it, for this you need to get its id. But how to do that?
I found out the IDs of single chats using "getUpdates" and successfully sent messages to them with "sendMessage". The same method, judging by the documentation, is suitable for sending messages to groups.

Answer 1

when someone writes to the chat, json comes to the web server with the bot (values ​​do not exist):
{"update_id":6567567, "message":{"message_id":5112,"from":{"id": 2222222,},"chat":{"id":-33333333,"title":"dobry chat"},"date":1442350000,"text":"hello"}}
2222222 - id of the user who wrote the message
-33333333 - group-chat id

Answer 2

You can try adding @myidbot to the telegram group. It has the necessary commands to get the group and user ID.

Answer 3

For those who need to get their id or chat id in telegram, I suggest using the @m4n_idbot bot .
