Share a link via URL scheme to Telegram - html

Question

I want to share a link via URL scheme for Telegram.
I have created this:
tg://msg?text = www.example.com?t=12
The link, opens telegram but nothing else happens.
I have used the same code for Viber, and it works:
viber://forward?text = www.example.com?t=12
And it opens a new message in Viber with this text:
www.example.com
In the other words, it cuts my URL.
Any ideas?

Answer 1

You can also use telegram.me share link which falls back to webogram if a telegram app is not installed on the device.
https://telegram.me/share/url?url=<URL>&text=<TEXT>

Answer 2

This works with me:
tg://msg?text=Mi_mensaje&to=+1555999

Answer 3

You have the following options for a URL...
https://t.me/share/url?url={url}&text={text}
https://telegram.me/share/url?url={url}&text={text}
tg://msg_url?url={url}&text={text}
In case you want to confirm, here is the official API source: Core.Telegram.org: Widgets -> Sharing Button.

Answer 4

You can use the link telegram.me which will provide a preview page with an alert requesting to open the link in the application.
https://telegram.me/share/url?url=<URL>&text=<TEXT>
The second option is calling the application link directly:
tg://msg_url?url=<url>&text=<encoded-text>
I particularly prefer the second option, which also works on desktop applications.

Answer 5

For Telegram share:
Objective C:
if([UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"tg://msg?text=test"]){
[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"tg://msg?text=test"]
}else{
//App not installed.
}
Swift 3.0:
let urlString = "tg://msg?text=test"
let tgUrl = URL.init(string:urlString.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: CharacterSet.urlQueryAllowed)!)
if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(tgUrl!)
{
UIApplication.shared.openURL(tgUrl!)
}else
{
//App not installed.
}
If you have used canOpenURL, then need to add in info.plist
<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
<array>
<string>tg</string>
</array>

Answer 6

PHP
Link
JavaScript
<script>TEXT="any text or url";</script>
<a onclick="window.location='tg://msg?text='+encodeURIComponent(TEXT);">Link</a>

Answer 7

Telegram
with this we can open xdg of telegram and if we select contact , by default sending text will come in message field.

Answer 8

Maybe you use localhost therefore it does not show share. try it in live host

Answer 9

To check if the Telegram is installed you can do the following (borrowed from the Whatsapp sharer module of ShareKit):
BOOL isTelegramInstalled = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"tg://msg?text=test"]];
iOS checks if there's any app installed which can handle the tg:// scheme, which is Telegram.

Answer 10

Try using tg://share:
Link

Answer 11

Just tested, this way it works both opening telegram app or browser in case it's not installed:
let webURL = NSURL(string: "https://t.me/<YOUR ID>")!
UIApplication.shared.open(webURL as URL)

Answer 12

Your have two problems:
On one hand you are using the wrong scheme for sharing URLs, the correct one is msg_url;
On the other hand you are trying to share a URL with parameters. You need to encode your ? in order to make it work. The percent code is %3F
Extra Tip: Also if you want it to be a link once shared you should include the HTTPS:// encoded of course.
Try this and you'll see it works fine: tg://msg_url?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%3Ft=12

Answer 13

If you want to open chat with bot or people, just write this simple code
<a href="https://t.me/targetedusername">

Answer 14

You should stop using the protocol for the desktop applications because it does not work on the evolving web: it does not work on Web apps, ChromeOS, or some mobile devices.
Always use the NEW way: https://t.me because it will open the Telegram DESKTOP app in Windows\Linux\Mac IF THE USER WANTS\HAS it, otherwise it will open the WEB page\web app which is THE WAY.

Telegram has TWO web apps that have been building out for the past year!
Both are great, adding TONs of parity, and have different approaches.
