body: <p>How can I access to a Telegram channel messages with a bot registered as channel admin?</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to get all the messages from Telegram channel and display them in an ASP.NET webpage (c#)</p>
  
  <p>I am able to get updates when new message sent directly to the bot:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var json = wc.DownloadString(" https://api.telegram.org/bot&lt;token&gt;/getUpdates");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but its not working for the channel.</p>
