Telegram Web App data
The plugin can also handle the data sent by the Telegram Web App. Simply send window.Telegram.WebApp.initData
query string to this URL:
http://<your-website.com>/?action=wptelegram_login&source=WebAppData
The final URL might look like this:
http://<your-website.com>/?action=wptelegram_login&source=WebAppData&query_id=XXXX&user=XXXX&auth_date=XXXX&hash=XXXX
The plugin will:
- Validate the data for you
- Create a user account for the user if it doesn’t exist
- Login the user to the website in the context of your Web App.
Note: You need to use the same bot token for both the plugin and the Web App.

FAQ
-
How to create a Telegram Bot
-
Sorry, that’s not possible because Telegram allows only a single button per page.
-
I see “Bot domain invalid” message
-
Please follow the instructions given on the WP Telegram Login settings page.
It looks like you missed one that says to send the
/setdomain
command to @BotFather.
