I'm trying to send a file to a Telegram bot through a webhook. I will upload the file (a pdf document) using php and then send a request to the bot webhook to receive the file and do some processing to it.

I'm using Advanced Rest Client (Desktop app) to test this. This is the CURL code that generates:

curl "https://mytelegram.bot:8443/notify" \
-X POST \
-d {} \
-H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundarydGdDH5I9p5ZBfrzu"

It returns a 415 Unsupported Media Type response and I don't know what to do exactly.

I'm using Telegraf framework to build this bot.

Error would indicate wrong content type, `multipart/form-data` some services restricts to `file` uploads (maybe try `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` instead if not uploading a file) – Thomas__ Mar 02 '20 at 22:12

Is `https://mytelegram.bot:8443/notify` your bots' registered webhook URL with Telegram? – megubyte Mar 07 '20 at 12:03
I ended up sending the document directly with php to a chat using the sendDocument endpoint. – JCAguilera Mar 07 '20 at 21:23
