Telegram Bot Message Publisher

This repository hosts a simple web service designed for sending messages via a Telegram bot when direct access to Telegram API and servers is restricted or banned. Messages are received through a POST request to the endpoint /{chat_id}/bot/send_message and are then forwarded to a specified chat ID using the configured Telegram bot.
