Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

telegram-bot-builder scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Telegram Bot Builder

Build production-ready Telegram bots for the Israeli market using grammY, Telegraf, or python-telegram-bot. Covers Bot API v10.3 (24 August 2026), webhooks vs polling, inline keyboards, Hebrew/RTL text, Telegram Stars + Gifts payments, Mini Apps 2.0, Bot Business mode, and serverless deployment.

Problem

Building Telegram bots for Israeli users involves several things agents consistently get wrong:

  1. Framework confusion - grammY, Telegraf and python-telegram-bot sit on different Bot API versions and mix badly. Agents blend their APIs or emit deprecated patterns.
  2. Webhook misconfiguration - wrong port, missing SSL or secret-token verification.
  3. Hebrew/RTL corruption - bidirectional text breaks in inline keyboards, callback data and formatted messages when Unicode direction marks are ignored.
  4. Payment gaps - Telegram Stars invoice rules differ from fiat providers.
  5. Version drift - the Bot API ships several times a year and models learn a frozen snapshot. This skill was last verified against Bot API 10.3 on 2026-10-19; check the changelog before trusting any version-specific claim here.

Framework Selection

Choose by runtime, deployment target and Bot API version:

Feature grammY v1.46.0 Telegraf v4.16.3 python-telegram-bot v22.8
Language TypeScript/JS TypeScript/JS Python 3.10+
Bot API version Latest (v10.3) v7.1 v10.0
Install npm install grammy npm install telegraf pip install python-telegram-bot
Plugin ecosystem Rich (sessions, menus, conversations, i18n) Moderate (scenes, sessions) Extensions (JobQueue, persistence)
Serverless Vercel, CF Workers, Deno Deploy, Supabase Edge, Fly.io Express/Fastify/Lambda adapters ASGI adapters, manual handlers
Middleware Composer (Koa-style) Composer (Koa-style) Handler groups with filters
Long polling bot.start() bot.launch() application.run_polling()
Webhook webhookCallback() bot.launch({ webhook }) application.run_webhook()
Recommended for New projects, serverless, latest API Existing Express/Fastify apps Python and ML shops

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
