Integrate MakerWorld with Telegram

Hi, as a creator I would like to notify my followers, for example on Telegram, when I upload a new model. However, I wouldn’t want to create posts on Telegram by hand, but I would like to do it via an automatic integration. There are various web connectors & script that handle these integrations, but there is one key requirement: the “source” of the information (in this case MakerWorld) should provide the data in a standard format, such as feed RSS, XML, JSON, etc.

It would therefore be nice if each user had a reserved area where they could manage these APIs, for example with a personal non-transferable token without expiration. :cat:

I imagine that this request is not in Bambulab’s critical strategy path, but taking into account that it is something that your developers will really enjoy implementing (the effort is almost all on the back-end side). :grin:

If you decide to implement this feature, I recommend an incremental rollout on a limited user base and obviously I volunteer for testing! :raised_hand:

Cheers :beer:

Regarding data in a standard format:
Makerworld has implemented Open Graph, which works perfectly for these types of scenarios. It includes all relevant information:

You could pair this with a polling script that checks your profile for new models. As far as I know, Telegram is banned in China, so an integration is unlikely.
