Hi, I have completed Bot (locally) where I used webhook + ngrok tunnel:

updater.start_webhook(
	    listen='127.0.0.1',
            port=8443,
            url_path=settings.TOKEN,
            key='private.key',
	    # cert='cert.pem',
	    webhook_url = 'https://2068-84-54-80-160.ngrok.io/' + settings.TOKEN,
	)

All works but, when I moved to pythonanywhere I started getting 404 not found error on getWebhookInfo and on pythonanywhere access logs. Here I pinned my new setup and logs on the server:

I will be glad to have any help

You can't run a web app from a console on PythonAnywhere. You need to configure your webhook endpoint as part of your normal web app deployment.

I also have the same issue. I've set up the webhook. I have this code in my VSCode:
@app.route('/update', methods=['POST'])
def webhook():
if request.method == 'POST':
repo = git.Repo('./hello-app2')
origin = repo.remotes.origin
origin.pull()
return 'Updated PythonAnywhere successfully', 200
else:
return 'Wrong event type', 400

And in github, my webhook URL is configured to be .pythonanywhere.com/update

And I see the log of the webhook being triggered and failing. This is the webhook error message in github:
Content-Length: 207
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
