как получить telegram ID и слать сообщения от бота.md

1. Create a bot
2. Get the bot's API token from @BotFather and save in into var TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN
3. Add your bot to the chat you'll be sending messages to
4. Get the ID of the chat
   a. Fetch bot updates and look for the chat id:

   curl https://api.telegram.org/bot$TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN/getUpdates | jq .message.chat.id
   

   b. OR, run bot.rb and @-mention your bot in the chat. The chat id will appear in bot.rb's output.
   The bot may need temporary message access: @BotFather > Bot Settings > Group Privacy > Turn off
5. Send a message using the HTTP API: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#sendmessage

   curl -X POST \
        -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
        -d '{"chat_id": "123456789", "text": "This is a test from curl", "disable_notification": true}' \
