Telegram Gateway
Telegram's paid API for sending login and verification codes through Telegram instead of SMS, at $0.01 per delivered code with automatic refunds for undelivered ones. The API token is copied in the Gateway account and the balance is funded via Fragment. It is the only fully documented paid API connected to Fragment, and it has nothing to do with advertising data — a common source of confusion around "Fragment API keys".
