Try the running bot here: Show JSON Bot

A simple Telegram Bot to show JSON data of Telegram messages. The JSON data is the updates that Telegram sent to the bot. The bot also provides an UI to navigate through the JSON object. The workflow is highly inspired by JSONShowBot which is NOT working as of May 2, 2022.

Re-written in TypeScript and now it runs on Deno.
