To get the channel id

  1. Create your bot with botfather
  2. Make you bot an admin of your channel

Simplest way (via @anhtuank7c)

Go to Telegram web and open a channel, get the ID from -[channel id] from hash in the path

https://web.telegram.org/k/#-9999999999999

-9999999999999 is the channel ID.
