Hm, that's interesting. https://core.telegram.org/passport

Once someone makes an npm module for it it'll be easier, but all the tools are there

@exodo you never know, you might be able to do it... just take passport-facebook and change it to use passport-telegram? You might have to change a couple things here and there as well, but it might be quite easy...

@julian @exodo Hey guys. I started to look into this. I came across the following in the "passport-telegram-official" strategy.js file

/**
* `TelegramStrategy` constructor.
* 
* The Telegram authentication strategy authenticates requests by delegating to Telegram using their protocol: https://core.telegram.org/widgets/login
* 
* Applications must supply a `verify` callback which accepts an `account` object, and then calls `done` callback sypplying a `user`, which should be set to `false` if the credentials are not valid.  If an exception occurred, `error` should be set.
 *
* More info here: https://core.telegram.org/widgets/login

This tells me that it doesn't use the OAuth 2.0 protocol. Do you have any ideas on strategies to implement this?

no idea

It sounds like a variation on the existing OAuth2 flow, so I see no reason why the npm package wouldn't work. Probably means additional coding, though.

Hello. Looking to integrate this in to my site. Does someone looking into this right now? I can take a look

The typographic style of this post is interesting, is it a '<frame>'?
How can I do it?
Please.
