Telegram API Integration into Oracle

[nolanjacobson]

Overview

As we expand our social media integrations, we've successfully integrated Discord, Reddit, and Twitter APIs. The next logical step is to incorporate Telegram's rich messaging capabilities into our platform.

Goals

• Enable our application to send and receive messages through Telegram.
• Leverage Telegram's bot features to enhance user interaction.
• Integrate Telegram's API to support real-time messaging within our application.

Requirements

• Research Telegram's Bot API and identify key methods needed for integration.
• Design a secure authentication flow to connect user Telegram accounts with our service.
• Implement the ability to send, edit, and delete messages through Telegram.
• Ensure the integration supports group chats and channels where applicable.
• Develop a system to handle incoming messages and commands sent to the bot.

Potential Challenges

• Handling the scale of messages and ensuring the system is performant.
• Ensuring privacy and security when dealing with user data.
• Adapting to the Telegram API rate limits and managing the bot's responsiveness.

Compliance and Security

• Review Telegram's API terms of use to ensure our integration is compliant.
• Implement robust encryption for any data exchanged between our servers and Telegram.

Resources

• Telegram Bot API Documentation

Acceptance Criteria

• The system handles incoming messages and commands efficiently.
• All interactions through Telegram are logged and auditable.
