# Telegram

Telegram does not strictly regulate the authorization expiration time, so you may need to set your own expiration time, which can be less than the default value. You can also set this parameter in Social applications settings as json `{"auth_date_validity": 100}`. The default value of the `auth_date_validity` is 30 seconds.

    SOCIALACCOUNT_PROVIDERS = {
        'telegram': {
            'APP': {
                'client_id': '<bot_id>',

                # NOTE: For the secret, be sure to provide the complete bot token,
                # which typically includes the bot ID as a prefix.
                'secret': '<bot token>',
            },
            'AUTH_PARAMS': {'auth_date_validity': 30},
        }
    }

Attention! If your server time is different from the telegram server time, you need NTP.
