How to get chat id

Start a chat with your bot, or add bot to a group then send some messages (depends on which chat you want bot to send message). If your bot was in that group over 1 day, then make sure you set its role as admin (so he can see messages in the group, you can revoke it later).

Replace $BOT_TOKEN_HERE with your bot token and visit this URL to get the new messages: https://api.telegram.org/bot$BOT_TOKEN_HERE/getUpdates.

You will see something as the following. Take a look, you will see the chat id.

{
  "ok": true,
  "result": [
    {
      "message": {
        "chat": {
          "id": -12345666, # This is the chat id (including - )
          "type": "group",
          "all_members_are_administrators": true
        },
        "date": 1654952677,
        "text": "test"
      }
    }
  ]
}
