Telegram Bot

You can call the DDTokens API from your own Telegram Bot backend. DDTokens does not require a particular Bot framework as long as the backend can send HTTP requests.

Basic Architecture

Telegram user -> Bot backend -> DDTokens API -> Model response -> Bot backend -> Telegram user

The Bot backend stores the Telegram Bot Token, DDTokens API key, conversation context, and error-handling logic.

Environment Variables

export TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN="your-telegram-bot-token"
export DDDT_API_KEY="sk-your-key-here"
export DDDT_BASE_URL="https://apiddt.com/v1"
export DDDT_MODEL="gpt-4o-mini"

Recommendations

• Create a dedicated DDTokens API key for the Bot.
• Set a token quota so a public Bot cannot exhaust the account balance.
• Rate-limit each user.
• Record the request ID, Telegram user ID, model, and cost.
• Never store a complete API key in logs.

Common Issues

Bot Does Not Reply

First check that the Telegram Bot Token is valid, then verify that the backend called the DDTokens API successfully.

Unexpected Cost Increase

Check Usage Logs for the request source, model, and token usage. If necessary, disable the API key used by the Bot first.

Replies Are Too Slow

Reduce the maximum output length or switch to a faster model. Long replies can use streaming responses, but the Bot backend must support sending them in segments.
