Sambad Result API

What can the API deliver?

The image may be delivered first. If result text is not ready yet, the sender checks again and sends the text when it becomes available.

@LotterySambadTV_bot can be used in a private Telegram chat and can also publish Lottery Sambad results automatically to Telegram Channels, Groups and Supergroups. The bot is managed centrally from admin.sambad.tv.

Start the bot in a private chat

1. Open @LotterySambadTV_bot in Telegram.
2. Tap Start or send /start.
3. The quick menu gives direct access to 1 PM, 6 PM, 8 PM, Today, Latest, Yesterday, Date, Month, Status, Prize, Alerts, Language, Website, Channel and Help.
4. Select a result. Every result message can include action buttons such as Check Ticket, PDF, Image Only, Text Only and Share.

Quick bot commands

Date selector: the bot can show the previous 10 dates as clickable buttons. Use Enter Other Date for an older date in DD-MM-YYYY format.

Check a ticket against the exact result

Use the Check Ticket button shown under a result. The check is tied to that exact result date and draw time; it does not silently switch to another draw.

• 1st Prize, Consolation Prize and 2nd Prize use the full 5-digit ticket number.
• 3rd Prize, 4th Prize and 5th Prize compare the last four digits of the entered 5-digit ticket number with the 4-digit winning numbers.
• The bot reports the matching prize when found, or a no-match message when the ticket does not match that result.

PDF behavior

• For a current single-draw result, the PDF button opens the PDF for that draw.
• For Yesterday or a selected/old date, the PDF button can open the full-day PDF containing the available 1 PM, 6 PM and 8 PM results.

Automatically send results to a Telegram Channel or Group

1. Open the Telegram Channel, Group or Supergroup where you want Lottery Sambad results.
2. Add @LotterySambadTV_bot.
3. Promote the bot to Administrator.
4. For a Channel, allow the bot to Post Messages. For a Group/Supergroup, allow the bot to send messages and media. Pin permission is also required if Auto Pin is enabled.
5. The central system automatically detects the Channel/Group and can add it directly to the active list without a pending-approval step.
6. When the bot first becomes an administrator, the latest available result for that day can be sent once to the new Channel/Group.
7. After that, fresh 1 PM, 6 PM and 8 PM results are posted automatically when the corresponding draw result becomes available.

Automatic post actions: result posts in Channels and Groups can also include the Check Ticket and PDF buttons. The Check Ticket button opens the bot with the exact date + draw context of that result.

Channel and Group controls in admin.sambad.tv

The Telegram admin panel can show each detected destination in one row with:

Duplicate manual/auto-detected records are merged by username or numeric Chat ID so the same Telegram destination is shown only once.

Manual Date + Time Send / Resend

The central administrator can select a saved result date and 1 PM / 6 PM / 8 PM, then send or resend the result to:

• All enabled Channels and Groups.
• Only selected enabled Channels/Groups.
• Manual resend intentionally bypasses the normal automatic duplicate lock.

Private bot tools

Affiliate and referral features

The bot also supports an optional, admin-controlled referral program. The recommended default is Tracking Only, with no cash value. Telegram users can become eligible through the bot itself, and the administrator may require the user to join the official Telegram Channel before a referral link is generated.

• Unique referral links can be generated for eligible private bot users.
• Self-referrals and duplicate referral credits are blocked.
• Points, badges, ranks, leaderboard titles and special bot access can be awarded for valid referrals.
• Official Telegram Channel membership can be required before a referral link is generated.
• No Google account registration is required for the Telegram referral flow.
• Affiliate availability, points and access rules are controlled by the Sambad TV administrator and may be changed or disabled.

Reliability, safety and maintenance

• Automatic result posts use duplicate protection so the same draw is not posted repeatedly.
• Temporary Telegram failures can be retried automatically using a retry queue.
• Failure alerts can be sent to a configured Telegram admin chat after retries are exhausted.
• Bot Health shows webhook status, last successful/failed post, connected destinations and usage statistics.
• Auto Pin / Auto-Unpin, Silent Post, caption templates, spam limits and log retention can be controlled from the Telegram admin settings.
• Old Telegram logs can be cleaned automatically according to the configured retention period.

Important Telegram notes

• The bot token is private and must never be shared publicly.
• If a Channel/Group shows Not Admin, promote the bot again and grant the required message/media permissions.
• If the bot is removed or demoted, automatic posting to that destination stops.
• Telegram controls the visual color of normal bot keyboard buttons; the bot uses short labels and emojis for clear identification.

How the secure connection works

• The central administrator provides a Connection Token for the new website registration.
• The connector sends a timestamped, HMAC-signed registration request to admin.sambad.tv.
• After successful registration, the connector receives its own Site ID and private Site Secret.
• The one-time Connection Token is not used for normal result requests after registration.
• Every result request is authenticated before data is returned.
• The central administrator can revoke or restore a connected website from API Connections.

Optional Result Source credit

Connected websites may show a Sambad.tv Result Source credit to identify where the result data comes from. This credit is optional and is not required for API delivery.

Removing or hiding this optional source credit does not pause image or result-text delivery.
