Hello @ geometry dash scratch,

To connect and read messages from a private Telegram channel using cTrader Automate, you can utilize the Telegram Bot API. Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates the basic process:

csharpusing System;using System.Net;using System.IO;public class TelegramChannelReader{   private const string BotToken = "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN";   private const string ChannelUsername = "@YOUR_CHANNEL_USERNAME";   public void ReadChannelMessages()   {       try       {           // Set up the API URL           string apiUrl = $"https://api.telegram.org/bot{BotToken}/getUpdates";           // Make a GET request to the Telegram Bot API           WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(apiUrl);           WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();           Stream dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();           StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);           string responseJson = reader.ReadToEnd();           // Process the response JSON to extract messages           // The responseJson variable should contain the messages in JSON format, you can parse it accordingly           // Close the streams           reader.Close();           dataStream.Close();           response.Close();       }       catch (Exception ex)       {           // Handle any exceptions that occur during the process           Console.WriteLine("An error occurred: " + ex.Message);       }   }}public class Program{   public static void Main()   {       TelegramChannelReader channelReader = new TelegramChannelReader();       channelReader.ReadChannelMessages();   }}

Here are the steps you need to follow:

1. Replace "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN" with the token of your Telegram bot. You can create a bot and obtain the token by contacting the BotFather on Telegram.
2. Replace "@YOUR_CHANNEL_USERNAME" with the username of your private channel (including the @ symbol).
3. Implement the necessary logic to parse and process the response JSON according to your requirements.
