How to Set Up Telegram Userbot

What is a Userbot?

A userbot automates your real Telegram account. Unlike a regular bot, it acts as YOU. It can do everything you can do: ban users, delete messages, pin posts, and more. Commands use a . prefix.

Getting API Credentials

  1. Go to my.telegram.org
  2. Log in with your phone number
  3. Click "API development tools"
  4. Fill in the form:
    • App title: anything (e.g., "BotWave")
    • Short name: anything (e.g., "botwave")
    • Platform: Other
  5. Click "Create application"
  6. Note your API ID (a number) and API Hash (a string)

Connecting to BotWave

  1. Log in to botwave.online
  2. Go to your Dashboard
  3. Click "Connect Telegram Userbot"
  4. Enter your API ID and API Hash
  5. Scan the QR code with your Telegram app, or enter the verification code sent to your Telegram
  6. You'll see "Connected" with your account name

Important Notes

  • The userbot uses your admin rights in groups. If you're not an admin, admin commands won't work.
  • Use .alive to check if the userbot is running.
  • Use .help to see all available commands.
  • The userbot runs on BotWave's servers, so it stays online even when your phone is off.
