Create & Automate Paste Links for Telegram

Two Ways to Use PasterLink with Telegram

PasterLink has no built-in Telegram integration. It does not connect to Telegram accounts, post into channels or provide a bot. You send the link yourself, or your own code does.

Why Use a Paste with Telegram?

A paste turns long content into a single URL. That is useful when the content does not fit comfortably in a chat message, or when you want readers to open it only when they need it.

• Long bot-generated text

  The Telegram Bot API documents the text of a sendMessage call as 1–4096 characters after entity parsing. Instead of splitting a long result into many messages, create the full text as a PasterLink paste and send the paste URL in Telegram.

• Code, logs and release notes

  Keep the Telegram message short and put the code, logs, release notes or diagnostic text on a shareable paste page that readers open when they need it.

• Collections of links

  Share one paste URL that holds a structured set of links, instead of posting a long run of URLs into the chat.

• Content you can correct later

  Pastes created with an account or through the API can be edited or deleted later by their owner. Guest pastes cannot, so create the paste with an account if you may need to fix it.

• Analytics with Creator Mode

  For accounts in Creator Mode, PasterLink shows views, unique visitors, countries, devices and referrers for their pastes. These are PasterLink paste analytics. They are not Telegram channel or subscriber statistics.

Share a Paste on Telegram in Seconds

1. Open the PasterLink create page.
2. Paste your text, code or links.
3. Optionally add a password.
4. Create the paste. Guests complete a short bot check first.
5. Copy the PasterLink URL.
6. Send that URL in your Telegram channel, group or message.

PasterLink does not post to Telegram in this workflow. You send the URL yourself.

Limitation: Guest-created pastes cannot currently be edited or deleted later by the guest. Create a free account if you want to manage your pastes later.

Automate Paste Links from Your Telegram Bot

A bot that produces long text can hand it to PasterLink and post only the link. The developer's own application calls both APIs, so the two services never talk to each other.

1. Telegram user or channel workflow

   A command, a schedule or an event starts your automation.

   ↓

2. Your Telegram bot or script

   It runs on your own server and holds both tokens.

   ↓

3. PasterLink Creator Mode API

   POST /api/v1/pastes

   Your code sends the full text with its API key.

   ↓

4. PasterLink returns the paste URL

   https://pasterlink.com/paste/{slug}

   The url field of the response.

   ↓

5. Your bot sends that URL to Telegram

   sendMessage

   Your code calls the Telegram Bot API with the URL in the text.

• PasterLink does not need your Telegram bot token. Only your own application uses it.
• Do not expose either the Telegram bot token or the PasterLink API key in frontend or client-side JavaScript.
• The API requires Creator Mode. Creator Mode unlocks when the pastes on your account reach 1,000 total views.

Send a Paste Link from Your Bot: Python Example

This script reads a long text file, creates a paste with POST https://pasterlink.com/api/v1/pastes, reads the returned url and sends it with the Telegram Bot API. It uses the standard requests HTTP library. PasterLink has no official Python SDK.

import os

import requests

PASTERLINK_API_KEY = os.environ["PASTERLINK_API_KEY"]
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN = os.environ["TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN"]
TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID = os.environ["TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID"]


def create_paste(title, long_content):
    response = requests.post(
        "https://pasterlink.com/api/v1/pastes",
        headers={
            "Authorization": f"Bearer {PASTERLINK_API_KEY}",
            "Accept": "application/json",
        },
        json={"title": title, "body": long_content},
        timeout=30,
    )
    response.raise_for_status()
    return response.json()["url"]


def send_to_telegram(text):
    response = requests.post(
        f"https://api.telegram.org/bot{TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN}/sendMessage",
        json={"chat_id": TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID, "text": text},
        timeout=30,
    )
    response.raise_for_status()


with open("release-notes.txt", encoding="utf-8") as notes:
    long_content = notes.read()

paste_url = create_paste("Release notes", long_content)
send_to_telegram(f"Full release notes: {paste_url}")

Keep both tokens server-side. Read them from environment variables as shown, never commit them to a repository, and never send them to a browser.

• Only body is required. The title can be up to 255 characters, and body can be up to 500,000 characters.
• A successful request returns 201 with the paste in JSON. Its url field is the public https://pasterlink.com/paste/{slug} address.
• Plain text is saved one paragraph per line and URLs become links. If the text contains HTML-style tags, the API treats it as HTML and sanitizes it.

Turn a Long Message into One Link

Instead of a bot splitting a result across several messages, it can post one short message that links to the full text.

What the Telegram Bot API Limit Says

Guest, Account and API Compared

You can create a paste for Telegram in three ways on PasterLink. This table shows what each way includes.

Built for Telegram Channels and Communities

Channel owners, bot developers and community admins can use a paste wherever a message is too long to read comfortably in the chat.

• Channel announcements

  Post a short announcement in the channel and link to the detailed notes.

• Release and update notes

  Publish the full notes for a version once and link them from every post.

• Software and project changelogs

  Keep a long changelog on one page instead of pasting it into a message.

• Code examples

  Share a snippet or a configuration file that is too long for a chat message.

• Troubleshooting instructions

  Send step-by-step help as one link that support answers can point to.

• Resource and link collections

  Give a community one reference page with all the links it needs.

• Bot-generated reports

  Let a bot turn a long report into a paste and post only the link.

• Community reference material

  Keep rules, FAQs and guides in one place that members can revisit.

Telegram is a third-party service and is not affiliated with PasterLink.

Need Automation?

• Authenticate with a Creator Mode Bearer token.
• Create the paste with POST /api/v1/pastes.
• Receive the /paste/{slug} URL in the response.
• Have your bot send that URL in Telegram.

Safety and Privacy

• Do not publish passwords, private keys, API tokens or other credentials in a paste. PasterLink has no private visibility setting, so anyone with a paste’s link can open it unless you add a password.
• Password-protected pastes are available for guest, account and API-created pastes. The password prompt is an access gate for the paste page. It is not end-to-end encryption.
• Keep your Telegram bot token and your PasterLink API key on the server, in environment variables or a secrets manager. Never put either one in browser JavaScript, a mobile app or a public repository.
• A link posted in a public Telegram channel can be forwarded and opened by anyone who receives it. Redact tokens, hostnames and personal data before you paste logs.
