🌐 HTTP-MTProto Bridge

Direct curl access to any Telegram API method - Execute any Telegram MTProto method via HTTP requests with automatic entity resolution and safety guardrails.

Quick Examples

# Send message with automatic entity resolution
curl -X POST "https://your-domain.com/mtproto-api/messages.SendMessage" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
        "params": {"peer": "@username", "message": "Hello from curl!"},
        "resolve": true
      }'

# Send message using params_json (works with n8n and other tools)
curl -X POST "https://your-domain.com/mtproto-api/messages.SendMessage" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
        "params_json": "{\"peer\": \"@username\", \"message\": \"Hello from curl!\"}",
        "resolve": true
      }'

# Get message history with peer resolution
curl -X POST "https://your-domain.com/mtproto-api/messages.getHistory" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
