We ask the developer to obtain his own api credentials, because the bundled 'api_id' / 'api_hash' are strictly limited by the server. The old credentials still could be used for test purposes, but the developer will need to explicitly opt-in to use them.

## Obtaining your API credentials
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To build your version of Telegram Desktop you're required to provide your own **api_id** and **api_hash** for the Telegram API access.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
How to obtain your **api_id** and **api_hash** is described here: [https://core.telegram.org/api/obtaining_api_id](https://core.telegram.org/api/obtaining_api_id)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you're building the application not for deployment, but only for test purposes you can use TEST ONLY credentials, which are very limited by the Telegram API server:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**api_id**: 17349
 | 
						|
**api_hash**: 344583e45741c457fe1862106095a5eb
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Your users will start getting internal server errors on login if you deploy an app using those **api_id** and **api_hash**.
