Hi, if i write this in my browser i get a message sent to my telegram bot :

https://api.telegram.org/botmybotnumber:mytoken/sendMessage?chat_id=myid&text="hello world"

If i implement it in my code it does nothing.

void send_telegram()
{
    telegram_msg = "hello from arduino";
    client.connect("https://api.telegram.org", 443) ;                    
    client.println(F("POST /botmybotnumber:mytoken/sendMessage?chat_id=myid&text=\""));   
    client.print(telegram_msg);
    client.println("\"");   
    client.println();                               
    client.stop(); 
}

Can someone help me?

For security reasons i havent posted my chatid, token and botnumber.

For security reasons i havent posted my chatid, token and botnumber.

You also haven't posted your sketch, or hardware, or libraries.

Please post the complete sketch, with the username, password, etc. replaced with * characters. A snippet in isolation does not give us anywhere near enough information to help you.

Also post what arduino and shields/libraries you are using so we can help you.

In the meantime, this uses "https". Does your client library handle "https"?

Does your client library handle "https"?

Not if it runs on the Arduino.

Thanks PaulS, so Arduino doesn't support HTTPS!

Then i will have to make a workaround and build a php page on my website and send from the arduino to that page the parameter that the php page will have to send in order to have my message delivered.
