Telegram APIs
This API allows you to build your own customized Telegram clients. It is 100% open for all developers who wish to create Telegram applications on our platform. Feel free to study the open source code of existing Telegram applications for examples of how things work here. Don't forget to register your application in our system.
Bot API
This API allows you to connect bots to our system. Telegram Bots are special accounts that do not require an additional phone number to set up. These accounts serve as an interface for code running somewhere on your server.
You can create Telegram client apps with your own UI and environment using Telegram APIs (to communicate with Telegram server). like Plus, Telegram Web, Mobogram.
But the Telegram Bot API not about the UI and environment it's about the possible services in the Telegram platform. Then users communicate with your Bot and get any services via their original Telegram apps(or their Telegram Clients). Game bot, English Learning bot.
