I am just curious. And I am totally green with Chrome extension.

May I ask how a Chrome extension get a request from a telegram client?

And do you create @BotFather ?

Thank you!

Hi @trainchou, Extension creates special page, called "background". You don't see it, but when you start browser it's automatically created (just believe me). This page has bot's javascript code. Every few seconds browser makes requests to telegram server and receive new messages. You can open extensions page in browser, click "Inspect views: background page", than go to "Network" tab and you will see requests sent to telegram servers.

No, @BotFather made by telegram team.
