# Telegram and Discord bots Source: https://www.solscanner.app/docs/bots > Look up wallets and tokens, browse KOL and alpha traders, and track group token calls from Telegram or Discord. Scanner has a Telegram bot and a Discord bot. Both let you check wallets and tokens without leaving chat, browse the [KOL tracker](/docs/trackers) and alpha trader leaderboards, and keep a leaderboard of token calls in your group or server. They work on Solana and Robinhood Chain (0x addresses). Alerts, KOL, identity, and PnL tools are Solana-only for now. The bots are included on every plan, Free included. How scans work [#how-scans-work] The bots don't render full scan reports in chat (the one exception is Telegram's `/bm`, below). When you ask for a scan, you get a reply with buttons that open it in Scanner: the live bubble map, the full report, and your scan history. The scan runs there and uses your plan's scan allowance like any other scan: Deep 2, Max 4, token 1. See [Deep Scan](/docs/scanner) for what each depth covers and [Plans and access](/docs/access) for allowances. Lookups that aren't scans cost nothing and need no account: balances, holdings, trades, identities, token cards, and the KOL and alpha leaderboards. Add a bot [#add-a-bot] Telegram [#telegram] * **Private chat:** open the Scanner bot in Telegram and send `/start`. * **Group:** add the bot to the group like any other member. It posts a welcome message listing the group commands. In a group, `/link` and `/credits` reply to you in a private message so your account details stay out of the channel. Start a private chat with the bot first, otherwise it can't message you. Discord [#discord] Run `/setup` to get the install link and see whether auto-scan is on for your server. The bot asks for these permissions: View Channels, Send Messages, Embed Links, Attach Files (for charts and maps), and Read Message History. Server-only commands such as `/leaderboard` only work inside a server, not in DMs. Link your Scanner account [#link-your-scanner-account] Linking ties the bot to your Scanner account, so scans, saved wallets, and alerts belong to you. 1. Send `/link` to the bot. It replies with a one-time code and a link to your settings. 2. Open the link while signed in, or paste the code under Telegram or Discord in [Settings](/dashboard/settings). Telegram codes expire after 10 minutes. You can unlink either account from the same Settings page. Pasting addresses and tickers [#pasting-addresses-and-tickers] You don't always need a command: * **Token contract:** paste a Solana mint or a 0x token and the bot replies with a token card (price, market cap, holders, socials, and trading links). In a group or server, the paste also counts as a call for the leaderboard. * **`$TICKER`:** a ticker like `$BONK` resolves to the token and gets the same card. * **Wallet:** a pasted wallet gets a quick balance summary with a button to open a Deep Scan. The scan itself only runs when you open it. Auto-replies are throttled per user and per group, so repeating the same address a few seconds apart won't flood the chat. If the bot doesn't react to pastes in your group or server, auto-replies are off there; the commands below still work, and on Discord `/setup` shows the current status. Group call tracking [#group-call-tracking] Every token pasted in a group or server is recorded as a call by the person who posted it first. The bot then follows the token's peak after the call. | Command | What it shows | | -------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | `/leaderboard` | Members ranked by their best call | | `/calls` | Recent token calls in this group or server | | `/mycalls` | Your own call stats and rank | Calls are tracked separately for each group or server.
