/tool fetch - how to get data from telegram bot?

RouterOS Scripting
1

Hi guys,

I try to get the recent chat data from the telegram bot. Via curl I receive what I expect.
But how to implement curl functionality with fetch?

Thanks for your support!

# does not work to read recent Telegram chat 
/tool fetch mode=https url="https://api.telegram.org/bot57121xxxx:AAHuMW-sGIkbXPcCKZ7YgAPUvuB6gCxxxx/getUpdates" keep-result=yes;

.
Just FYI: sending data to Telegram via fetch works.

# works perfect - message will be sent to according Telegram chat
/tool fetch "https://api.telegram.org/bot571215671:AAxxx-sGIkbXPcCKZ7YgAPUvuB6gCxxxx/sendMessage\?chat_id=-205530444&text=PS4 online since $HHMMSS!"

Perfect script from BlackVS handles everything you need relative to Telegram communication: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/mikrotik-and-telegram/114540/1

Needs some time to understand everything, but then you can do what you want :sunglasses: !

You can send e.g. an created own command via Telegram bot to your router.
(There a two example commands in the package BlackVS provided which helps to understand how to do)

E.g. I want to know what devices are online - so I send the key command /onlineDevices via Telegram, the Mikrotik router checks the Telegram bot regularly (via scheduler), receives the command, interpretes it and sends according feedback (current online devices) back to the bot and therfore to my smartphone.
