Possibe Telegram API request issue

[Kalruun]

So I made a telegram API request for my region. According to the guide I followed, it should have only taken a few minutes for a response to arrive. However, its been over an hour and still no response. Also, I have no way of knowing whether my request was sent or not. Is this normal, is there possibly an issue here?

It may just be a delay, might want to try checking back tomorrow in few more hours. Sometimes these things happen.

By 'telegram API request' I presume you mean the Getting Help Request you filed with the mods. That one will be processed when a moderator gets to it. ETA is way more than a few minutes.

See: https://www.nationstates.net/pages/api.html

Unlike the rest of the API, to use the Telegrams API you need an API Client Key. Currently, you can do this by lodging a Help Request with the moderators, describing:

The purpose of your script (e.g. to send recruitment TGs, welcome-to-my-region TGs...)
The region your script will be serving
The nation primarily responsible for the script

API Client Keys are tied to a particular region, and each region may only have one (although they can be revoked and re-issued). Multiple people and scripts within a region can use the same API Client Key. If they do, they will be bound by the same rate limit: that is, when anyone uses the API Client Key to send a recruitment telegram, no-one else using the same API Client Key will be able to send more messages until the rate limit expires.

Once approved, a moderator will telegram you an API Client Key, which you can use for future API calls.

You are responsible for all use of your Telegrams API Client Key. If you suspect that it is not being used appropriately, please immediately contact the moderators.

Yep, that is exactly what it is. Thank you for informing me.
