I am trying to find the Api Key for Telegram but I cannot find it. Where do I find it on the website? If I use the Api Id, I get the error Incorrect Token Format
in the C# Console Application.

Attention! This question is not about Telegram bot. Find API key at https://my.telegram.org – 武状元 Woa Apr 06 '21 at 02:01

Like ihoru mentioned in his answer, you can find all of your bots relevant information in BotFather.
So navigate to @BotFather in Telegram. If you have not yet created a bot do so by entering /newbot
and follow the instructions on screen. You should get your key at the end of the process.
But now let's assume you already have a bot and can't find the key anymore. Again, go to @BotFather but this time enter /mybots
. You should see something like this:
Click/Touch whatever bot you would like your API key for, then you should see this:
Click the API Key button and tadaa there is your key:

You mean Telegram API for create a telegram application using C#, not Telegram Bot API, right? to get API key. Please see the step by step below or for detail information you can see this link
- Sign up for Telegram using any application.
- Log in to your Telegram core: https://my.telegram.org.
- Go to ‘API development tools’ and fill out the form.
- You will get basic addresses as well as the api_id and api_hash parameters required for user authorization.
- For the moment each number can only have one api_id connected to it.
But if you need API for Telegram Bot, You can check the API your bot using BotFather. for detail, you can check on this link
I hope this is useful for you.

Are you asking for finding bot's token ? or are looking for telegram client api code ?
@BotFather , gives you the token of each bot you made.
for getting api token for making client , you must make developer account for telegram. it can be you personal account for telegram .
