How to post in telegram?

Question

Python

Good afternoon!
I want to make a bot for posting to the Telegram channel.
The simplest code to check and does not work...(((

import telebot

token = 'zzzzzzzzzzzz:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
CHANNEL_NAME = '@yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy'
bot = telebot.TeleBot(token)
bot.send_message(CHANNEL_NAME, "Hello")

print(bot.send_message(CHANNEL_NAME, "Hello"))

Returns an error:

{'ok': False, 'error': 'Got unexpected response. (404) - {"ok":false,"error_code":404,"description":"Not Found"}'}

I did everything as per the instructions) The
admin added the bot (even two didn’t help), he also wrote the channel names in different ways (he even created exotic channel names so as not to confuse them for sure)))
Nothing helps.
Code in 4 lines and such crap.
Poke your nose where the error is and where to look for the answer?
Thank you!
UPD!
Here is the solution from the comment

bot = telebot.TeleBot(token)
bot.config['api_key'] = token

+ be sure to check the privacy settings of the bot via @BotFather.
Thank you!

Answer 1

You need the channel id, not the title. Add a bot to a channel, write a message and request updates using the API. message.chat.typeshould be equal to "channel". The id can be obtained using the message.chat.id.

Answer 2

pip install pyTelegramBotAPI - this will install the library you need
instead of pip install telebot
, according to the second option, some kind of leftist is installed, in which there is a described problem
in the first one, the object of the TeleBot class does not even have a public config property, and the token immediately upon initialization is registered where it needs to be , you
never know who else will benefit :)

Answer 3

Are you sure the library is working?

Answer 4

Good evening! Could you upload the full version of the working posting code to the Telegram channel?
Thank you!
