TamTam API

Social / API Key Intermediate HTTPS
Varies by plan (check documentation)

Overview

TamTam is a Russian messaging app and its Bot API lets you build chatbots that can send messages, receive updates, and interact with users on the platform. It works similarly to the Telegram Bot API, using an API key passed as a query parameter for authentication. If you have built a Telegram bot before, TamTam's API will feel very familiar.

💡

Beginner Tip

TamTam bot API uses a simple query parameter for auth (access_token=YOUR_KEY) and a polling model similar to Telegram — start by calling /me to verify your token works before building more complex functionality.

Available Data

Use case: Integrate bot api to interact with tamtam data into web and mobile applications
TamTam data via REST API
JSON-formatted response data
Requires API key authentication

Example Response

JSON Response
{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {
    "result": "Data from TamTam",
    "description": "Bot API to interact with TamTam",
    "timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z"
  }
}

Field Reference

user_id Unique numeric identifier of the bot user
name Display name of the bot as shown to TamTam users
username Unique handle of the bot on TamTam
is_bot Always true for bot accounts returned from /me
updates List of new update objects (messages, callbacks) returned by the /updates polling endpoint

Implementation Example

const url = "https://dev.tamtam.chat/";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
  headers: {
  "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
  }
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

401 Unauthorized access_token query parameter is missing or incorrect
Append ?access_token=YOUR_BOT_TOKEN to every request URL — get your token from @PrimeBot on TamTam
404 Not Found The endpoint path is wrong or the resource does not exist
Check the TamTam Bot API docs at dev.tamtam.chat for the exact endpoint paths; all endpoints start with /api/v1/
Empty updates array on polling No new messages since the last request
This is normal; use the marker field from the previous response as the marker query parameter to get only new updates
