Please note that this parameter doesn't affect updates created before the call to the setWebhook, so unwanted updates may be received for a short period of time.
$drop_pending_updates : bool|null = null: Optional. Pass True to drop all pending updates
$secret_token : string|null = null: Optional. A secret token to be sent in a header "X-Telegram-Bot-Api-Secret-Token" in every webhook request, 1-256 characters. Only characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, _ and - are allowed. The header is useful to ensure that the request comes from a webhook set by you.
