How to Use the banChatMember Method in Telegram Bot API
Hello dear friend! Today we want to talk about one of the interesting methods in the Telegram Bot API. This method is called banChatMember and allows you to remove a specific user from your group chat. For this, you need the chat_id (chat identifier) and user_id (user identifier).
I personally have a lot of experiences with bots, particularly in large groups, where it is possible for user behaviors to be inappropriate. In such cases, using the banChatMember method is really useful. You can easily remove disruptive users from the group and help maintain group integrity.
Now let's take a look at how to use this method. You can use this method easily via HTTP POST and send a request to Telegram. Please note that in order to use this method, your bot must be in the group you want to act upon.
The code needed to execute this method is very simple. Below, I have provided an example that you can use as a template for your own projects. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments!
POST https://api.telegram.org/bot/banChatMember
{
"chat_id": ,
"user_id":
} Code Explanation
In this code, you need to replace YOUR_BOT_TOKEN with your own bot's token. You can get this token when you create your bot from BotFather.
The value of CHAT_ID is the identifier of the group from which you want to remove the user. You need to obtain this identifier.
The value of USER_ID is the unique user identifier of the person you want to remove from the group. You can use this identifier in your own code.
Ultimately, by sending this request to the Telegram API, the specified user will be automatically removed from the group.
