Use Claude through the ApiClo Telegram bot
The ApiClo bot lets you select available Claude models and send messages in Telegram. Follow its account setup; you do not need to supply a personal Claude password or another provider's API key.
Before you start
- Open the ApiClo bot using the button on this page.
- Check the bot's account and balance. A separately created website account is not necessarily linked.
Steps
Start and choose a language
Press Start or send /start. Complete the language picker if shown; /language opens it again.
Check models and rates
Send /models and select available Claude. Use /prices for rates and /balance for balance. Manual selection uses /model MODEL_ID with an exact ID from the current list.
Send a short question
Try: Write three short headlines for a coffee shop. Only three lines. Send it as a normal text message after selecting the model.
Inspect usage
Use /history for usage and /dialogs for conversations. Check the response and cost before long tasks or attachments.
Check the result
Confirm the selected model, a text response, balance and history. Models and features can differ from web chat.
Troubleshooting
- Language picker is still shown: complete it first.
- Missing model: consult the current /models list or support.
- Different website and bot balances: verify account linking before topping up again.
Compatibility and billing
This is ApiClo's bot, not an official Anthropic bot. Paid models spend balance; Claude subscriptions and history do not transfer. Telegram availability depends on your network. Test attachments, tools and long context separately.
All documentationTelegram questions
Must I manually create a key?
The /start account flow automatically prepares a separate Telegram key. No external provider key is required.
How do I change language?
Send /language and select it.
Is this my website account?
Verify the actual account link; matching names or emails do not establish a shared balance.
