# POST /setWebhook

`POST /setWebhook`

Use this method to specify a url and receive incoming updates via an outgoing webhook. Whenever there is an update for the bot, we will send an HTTPS POST request to the specified url, containing a JSON-serialized [Update](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api/#update). In case of an unsuccessful request, we will give up after a reasonable amount of attempts. Returns *True* on success.

If you'd like to make sure that the Webhook request comes from Telegram, we recommend using a secret path in the URL, e.g. `https://www.example.com/<token>`. Since nobody else knows your bot's token, you can be pretty sure it's us.
