Here are some examples on how to use Telegram bot api via CURL

Prerequisites

For getting messages in private chat with bot

Create a bot using @BotFather, get it's token
Start conversation with bot
Run following curl command

curl https://api.telegram.org/bot/getUpdates | grep -Po '"from":{"id":.+?,'

README

Especially when developing new query logic, it's helpful to query elasticsearch from the command line. If your Elasticsearch cluster uses SAML authentication or some other SSO, it's not simple or sometimes not even possible to query using curl directly. I wrote an auth plugin for HTTPie that should greatly simplify this process if you have rights to create API keys via the Kibana dev console (talk to your administrator and see the link below).

This process is also super handy for shell scripting because you can provide fine-grained limits of what your API key can do, making their use much safer and easier to manage than embedding native realm username/passwords.

Using the ssh agent

The following would show a similar output if a key is already added to your agent, and you are good to go.

$ ssh-add -l
2048 d7:8e:3d:03:9c:4f:f8:9d:04:0f:11:c5:24:e1:2f:3a rsa w/o comment (RSA)

The following will show if no agent is running.

Delete lines by line numbers

Example 1: Delete lines 1, 3 and 5.

sed -e '1d;3d;5d' $filename

Example 2: Delete line 1.
