How to get your Telegram API credentials in 2 minutes.

Teleton Agents control their own Telegram account - they're real users, not bots. To make that work, you need API credentials from your account. Takes 2 minutes.

Log in

Go to my.telegram.org

Enter your phone number with country code and hit Next.
Telegram sends you a login code in-app. Enter it.

Create an application

That's it, you're connected. 

Now, click "API development tools"

App title: anything (e.g. "Teleton")

Short name: anything (e.g. "teleton")

Platform: Desktop

Description: leave empty

Hit Create application.

You now have your two keys:

API ID - a number

API Hash - a hex string

This is what your Teleton Agent uses to connect to Telegram as a real user account.

Save them. Never share them publicly.

Next step:

Run teleton setup --ui and paste these credentials when the wizard asks for them. The agent handles authentication, session management, and reconnection automatically.
