Hi.
That never happened to us.
Maybe you accidentally sent too many messages??
You may want to try to contact them to try to understand what happened.

Hi, it worked for a while… But now I get this message: You have created a malicious bot that was banned on Telegram. Please note that creating abusive bots (for example, bots for spamming and interfering with communication in groups) may lead to your account being terminated.

You have been banned from creating new bots for a month.

And here’s an offer you can’t refuse: Once the month is over, you can either play nice and build useful bots (or no bots at all) — or be blocked on Telegram forever.

if you want anyone user to use this, you can comment this section
if (chat_id != CHAT_ID){
// bot.sendMessage(chat_id, “Unauthorized user”, “”);
// continue;
}
make “chat_id” a global variable and replace CHAT_ID with it.

Also if you leave CHAT_ID in String head, you will receive all replies of bot to your friends

In reply to vlvrkv.

Maybe if you create groups it will work.

Is it possible to give rights to request a photo for a second account in Telegram?

I just copy pasted the code but always got error messages:

Camera probe failed with error 0x105(ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND) (probably the connection of the cam module. After a lot of times reconnecting the cam the error was gone)
and Camera init failed with error 0xffffffff

luckily I found a guy on youtube.
Change the esp32 board version to an older than 3.0. (for me the 2.0.10 works fine) and
go to Tools>PSRAM and enable.

Saves a lot of time!

Switching off the flash after taking a picture would be nice, but I couln’t figure out how to get a working logic.

Cheers!

Its a good tutorial and I got it to work, and now I can modify it.
However I strugged a bit with finding the chat ID.
I added a println to the esp32 code to print out the chat ID as I couldnt work out how to find it within telegram.

Hello, Sara and Ruy.
I set up the espcam telegram project, it worked perfectly… I used the old Arduino platform. But due to the network prob it stopped working, today I’m trying to reprogram but I’m not getting the error code below. Now I have the Arduino IDE 2.2.1

Hi.
You can take a look at this tutorial and check the section that detects motion and sends a message:
