Build a Telegram OTP Bot With the OtpGet API: A Pakistani Developer's Guide

Many resellers and developers in Pakistan build Telegram bots that sell verification numbers to their own customers. A Telegram OTP bot is a small program that takes an order in chat, calls the OtpGet API to get a number, and sends the SMS code back when it arrives. This guide covers the flow and the safeguards that keep it reliable.

Short answer: your bot calls the order endpoint with your API key, stores the returned order ID and number, polls the status endpoint until a code arrives, then confirms or cancels the order. Always add timeouts, retry limits and spending alerts.

The flow

1. User picks a service and country in the bot.
2. Your server calls the number endpoint and receives an order ID and a phone number.
3. Your bot shows the number to the user.
4. Your server polls the status endpoint every few seconds.
5. When the code arrives, forward it to the user and mark the order complete.
6. If nothing arrives in time, cancel the order so it can be refunded.

What the API looks like

The SMS API uses simple HTTPS requests with an api_key and an action. The order response is a plain-text line containing the order ID and the number, and the status response is either a waiting message or the code. The complete list of actions, parameters and example responses is in the API documentation. Read each action's example before you write your parser, because some endpoints answer in plain text and others in JSON.

Safeguards every bot needs

• Keep your API key on the server only. Never put it in the bot message or a public repository.
• Set a polling limit and stop after a sensible time.
• Cancel orders that time out so users do not pay for nothing.
• Track your wallet balance and alert yourself when it is low.
• Rate-limit users so a loop cannot drain your balance.
• Log every order ID.

Pricing your bot

You set your own margin as a reseller. The API returns amounts in PKR by default, and you can request another currency if your customers prefer it. Read the reseller section of the terms before you start.

Responsible use

Sell only for lawful purposes. Your customers must follow the rules of each app they verify, and you should refuse abuse. For the basics of the API, see OTP API for developers.

A simple architecture

A reliable bot has three parts. The chat layer receives commands and shows buttons. A small service layer talks to the OtpGet API, stores orders in a database and enforces limits. A background worker polls open orders and pushes codes back to users. Keeping them separate means a slow API call never freezes the chat, and a crash in one part does not lose your order records.

Support and customer care

• Show clear messages when an order is waiting, completed or cancelled.
• Explain your own refund rule so users know what to expect.
• Keep a support contact visible in the bot.
• Log each order with a time, user ID and result so disputes can be checked.

Customers return to bots that behave predictably and explain what is happening.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which language should I use?

Any language that can make HTTPS requests. The documentation shows PHP, Python and cURL.

How often should I poll?

Every few seconds is common, with a hard stop after the order window.

How do I handle cancellations?

Use the cancel action. The amount returns to your wallet when the rules allow it.

Can I show prices in my customers' currency?

Yes, the API accepts a currency parameter.

Conclusion

Keep it simple: order, poll, confirm or cancel, and protect your key and balance. Create an account to get your API key, and read more on the OtpGet blog.
