Frequently asked questions
Everything about finding bots in the catalog and adding your own.
What is a Telegram bot?
A program inside Telegram that you talk to in a chat. Bots can download media, translate, answer with AI, sell things, run games and much more.
What is a Telegram mini app?
A web app that opens inside Telegram with its own interface — like a small website or game that knows your Telegram account.
Is it free to use the bots?
Opening a bot is free. Some bots sell premium features inside Telegram; that is up to their owners.
How do I add my bot to TgZoo?
Log in with Telegram and enter the bot’s username. Pick the languages for its pages and say whether the bot is 18+. We check the bot, write the texts and publish it — usually within minutes.
Why is a partner (affiliate) program required?
TgZoo is free for bot owners and visitors. We earn through Telegram’s affiliate programs: enable one for your bot in @BotFather (Bot Settings → Affiliate Program), then submit it. Without an active program the bot cannot be published.
Can I write the description myself?
Yes. Choose the manual mode and fill in the texts in any of the languages you picked. Whatever you leave empty we write for you, and you can edit everything later.
Why was my bot unpublished?
We check every bot and partner link each night. If the bot stops responding or its affiliate program ends for 7 days, the page is unpublished; you see it in your account and, if you turned it on, get a message from our Telegram bot. Fix the problem and resubmit the bot from your account.
How do I find a bot?
Use the search at the top, browse categories, or ask the assistant in the corner of the page — it searches by topic and tags.
