Able to connect bot to the test network

[saneqq]

The test environment is completely separate from the main environment, so you will need to create a new user account and a new bot with @BotFather. This is very convenient when connecting a web app with a bot https://docs.ton.org/develop/dapps/telegram-apps/testing-apps examples https://docs.pyrogram.org/topics/test-servers

What actions are required for this support?

Hi @negasus

ran into the same question as @saneqq

Bot API 6.0 introduced the test environment

After receiving your bot token, you can send requests to the Bot API in this format:

https://api.telegram.org/bot<token>/test/METHOD_NAME

so i guess to support that it would need a flag - eg UseTestEnvironment - to pass to bot.New - using bot tokens created with an account in the test env get rejected by as Unauthorized when initializing the bot.
