Telegram Bot Webhooks

Verifiable

Telegram's webhook delivery to bot servers. Not a crawler; POSTs update events to a bot's registered HTTPS endpoint from two documented, static CIDR ranges. Telegram documents no User-Agent for these POSTs; the UA listed here is Telegram's documented fetcher token and is unconfirmed for webhook traffic — verify by source IP, not UA.
