# Connect a Telegram channel with the PostEverywhere API

Requires an API key. The bot (from @BotFather) must be an
administrator of the channel with Post Messages enabled
(`400 bot_not_admin` otherwise, with setup instructions). `channel`
accepts "@name" or a numeric chat ID. Provider errors are mapped to
specific codes; upstream Telegram failures return 502.
