Run your own Bot API server

You can run Bot API locally and send the requests to your own server instead of api.telegram.org. If you switch to a local Bot API server, your bot will be able to:

- Download files without a size limit.
- Upload files up to 2000 MB.
- Upload files using their local path and the file URI scheme.
- Use an HTTP URL for the webhook.
- Use any local IP address for the webhook.
- Use any port for the webhook.
- Set max_webhook_connections up to 100000.
- Receive the absolute local path as a value of the file_path field without the need to download the file after a getFile request.
