# Telegram

> Send and receive messages through the Telegram Bot API.

```ts theme={null}
import { telegram } from "spectrum-ts/providers/telegram";
```

The Telegram provider connects your agent to the Telegram Bot API. Inbound messages are delivered through Fusor webhooks. Outbound messages use the Bot API directly. The provider supports text, media, reactions, replies, typing indicators, edits, and lazy media downloads.
