[BUG][Telegram Node] get file not found on local api server

[abolfazlakbarzadeh]

Hey there, I hope you all are well!

I have a problem with the Telegram node when I’m using the local API server for the bot, I’ve put the local API server base URL in the telegram credential, and when the get file node triggers it throws an error and saysthe file couldn’t be found! but when I’m using the telegram official API baseUrl it works fine, I think this issue comes from node implementation for the getFile method and it doesn’t use the custom telegram credential baseUrl setting, so it requests file from official server instead of local server thu it can’t found the by file_id, or I’m wrong, however please correct me

thanks in advance

Hi @ernanda, which version of n8n are you using? Which version of n8n are you using? And does your n8n instance have a proper connection to the Telegram bot server?
