Telegram connection

How can I fix this?

I just added my telegram bot token and character.ts clients to Add telegram.

However when I pnpm start I get this error :

Hello @ALGOREX-PH! Welcome to the ai16z community. Thank you for opening your first issue; we appreciate your contribution. You are now a ai16z contributor!

Based on the code from the telegramClient.ts file, the issue you're experiencing seems to be related to a timeout error when the Telegram bot tries to connect to the Telegram API. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:

Check Network Connectivity: Ensure that your server or local machine has a stable internet connection. The ETIMEDOUT error indicates that the request to the Telegram API is timing out, which could be due to network issues.

Verify Telegram Bot Token: Double-check that the bot token you are using is correct. An incorrect token could lead to failed API requests.

API Endpoint Accessibility: Make sure that the Telegram API endpoint (https://api.telegram.org) is accessible from your network. You can test this by trying to access the endpoint using a tool like curl or a web browser.

Firewall and Security Groups: If you're running this on a cloud server, ensure that your firewall or security groups are not blocking outbound requests to the Telegram API.

Proxy Settings: If your network requires a proxy to access the internet, ensure that your application is configured to use it.

I have added proxy in

eliza/packages/client-telegram/src/telegramClient.ts

Line 18 in 3067064

this.bot = new Telegraf(botToken);

like this

        this.bot = new Telegraf(botToken, {
            telegram: {
              agent: new HttpsProxyAgent("http://127.0.0.1:7890"),
            },
          });

but it does not work well, and I am sure this method works well, for I have did the same thing in my own telegram project

do not fixed yet

Can you remove the proxy and try a run ? Can you add logging on that proxy to see if the error is originated by the client or by the proxy ? Some proxies are banned or IP sensitive.

[alwaysabetterway]

well how about making sure that you can connect from the server first, try:

curl -X GET "https://api.telegram.org/$BOTIDGOESHERE:$YOURBOTTOKENGOESHERE/getMe"

If you get a response with the information from your bot, then it seems to connect ok. I'm having the same error me
ssage but I think this is something else, maybe it just times out too quickly. I'll try to debug it.

w/o the proxy it fails as shown above ETIMEOUT,

I added more logs:

        this.bot = new Telegraf(botToken, {
            telegram: {
              agent: new HttpsProxyAgent("http://127.0.0.1:7890").on('error', (err) => {
                console.error('Proxy Error:', err);
              }).on('connect', (response, socket, head) => {
                console.log('Proxy Connected:', response.statusCode);
              })
            },
           });

but it just hands at
