Seeing the logs of requests sent to Telegram Bot API

I've set up a Telegram bot. All queries to the Telegram Bot API must be served over HTTPS and are presented in this form: https://api.telegram.org/bot/METHOD_NAME (Reference: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api)
How do I check the history of requests to the API?

How to use REST to download Outlook attachments from a node server?

Right now I use the ewsURL to fetch the attachments through a SOAP request. My Outlook Addin gets the ewsURL with a token and send it to the server and the server uses that to get the attachments. The problem is, this does not work for the mobile app. In mobile, I can't get the ewsURL. According to the docs, I have to use the REST API but it's not clear how to use it on the server side. Any help?
On the add-in side, there are a couple of differences when using Outlook REST APIs from an Outlook add-in:
Modify the getCallbackTokenAsync API call to include the isRest parameter.
Use the convertToRestId API on the itemId before sending it to the back-end.
On the server-side, here are some steps on getting started with Outlook REST APIs. The code you use to call the API will be different depending on the server-side language, and there are language-specific steps under the getting started section.
The main difference will be instead of registering the application and implementing OAuth2, you will be able to skip to the step where you use the Mail API (Node.js) and use the REST access token returned by the add-in API.
For calling the attachment API, see the docs for listing attachments on an item and getting attachments.
To test the token returned by the getCallbackTokenAsync API, try making a request like this one:
GET https://outlook.office365.com/api/v2.0/me/messages/<item id>
Authorization: Bearer <REST token>

How to Verifying bot authenticity other than checking for varification token in Hangouts chat Bot?

I integrated hangouts chat BOT with my java webhook. I am getting messages properly from DM also, but my question is how can I validate the incoming message identity other than comparing verification token that I am getting in every Event object and comparing it with verification token I have in Bot creation page in Google developer console?
Create a service account here -> https://console.cloud.google.com/
Enable Chat API here -> https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/chat.googleapis.com/
Download the service key
You can find code on Google Chat documentation for authenticating a service account. Here is an example in Python
scopes= 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chat.bot'
credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name('<service_key_name>.json', scopes)
http2 = Http()
credentials.authorize(http2)
service = build('chat', 'v1', http=http2)
<use service here for REST API>
example:
resp = service.spaces().messages().create( parent = spaceName, body = chatBody).execute()

How to receive webhook signal from 3rd party service

I'm using a SaaS for my AWS instance monitoring and Mandrill for email sending/campaigns.
I had created a simple chart with Zapier but I'd rather like to host it myself. So my question is:
How can I receive a webhook signal from Mandrill and then send it to Datadog from my server? Then again I guess hosting this script right on the same server I'm monitoring would be a terrible idea...
Basically I don't know how to "receive the webhook" so I can report it back to my Datadog service agent so it gets updated on their website.
I get how to actually report the data to Datadog as explained here http://docs.datadoghq.com/api/ but I just don't have a clue how to host a listener for web hooks?
Programming language isn't important, I don't have a preference for that case.
Here you can find how to add a new webhook to your mandrill account: https://mandrillapp.com/api/docs/webhooks.php.html#method=add
tha main thing here is this:
$url = 'http://example/webhook-url';
this is your webhook URL what will process the data sent by mandrill and forward the information to Datadog.
and this is a description about what mandrill will send to your webhook URL: http://help.mandrill.com/entries/21738186-Introduction-to-Webhooks
a listener for webhooks is nothing else then a website/app which triggers an action if a request comes in. Usually you keep it secret or secure it with (http basic) authentication. E.g. create a website called http://yourdomain.com/hooklistener.php. You can then call it with HTTP POST or GET and pass some data like hooklistener.php?event=triggerDataDog or with POST and send data along with the body. You then run a script or anything you want to process that event.
A "listener" is just any URL that you host where you can receive data that is posted to it. Keep in mind, since you mentioned Zapier, you can set up a trigger that receives the webhook data - in this case the listener URL is provided by Zapier, and you can then send that data into any application (or even post to another webhook). Using Zapier is nice because it doesn't require you to write the listener code that receives the hook data and does something with it.
