Description

Supported go version: 1.5, 1.6, tip

Implementation of the telegram bot API, inspired by github.com/go-telegram-bot-api/telegram-bot-api.

The main difference between telegram-bot-api and this version is supporting net/context. Also, this library handles errors more correctly at this time (telegram-bot-api v4).

Supported go version: 1.5, 1.6, tip

Implementation of the telegram bot API, inspired by github.com/go-telegram-bot-api/telegram-bot-api.

The main difference between telegram-bot-api and this version is supporting net/context. Also, this library handles errors more correctly at this time (telegram-bot-api v4).

Package contains:

  1. Client for telegram bot api.
  2. Bot with:
    1. Middleware support
      1. Command middleware to handle commands.
      2. Recover middleware to recover on panics.
    2. Webhook support

Get started

Get last telegram api:

go get github.com/bot-api/telegram

If you want to use telegram bot api directly:

go run ./examples/api/main.go -debug -token BOT_TOKEN

package main

import (
    "log"
    "flag"

    "github.com/bot-api/telegram"
    "golang.org/x/net/context"
)


func main() {
    token := flag.String("token", "", "telegram bot token")
    debug := flag.Bool("debug", false, "show debug information")
    flag.Parse()

    if *token == "" {
        log.Fatal("token flag required")
    }

    api := telegram.New(*token)
    api.Debug(*debug)

    ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
    defer cancel()

    if user, err := api.GetMe(ctx); err != nil {
        log.Panic(err)
    } else {
        log.Printf("bot info: %#v", user)
    }

    updatesCh := make(chan telegram.Update)

    go telegram.GetUpdates(ctx, api, telegram.UpdateCfg{
        Timeout: 10,    // Timeout in seconds for long polling.
        Offset: 0,  // Start with the oldest update
    }, updatesCh)

    for update := range updatesCh {
        log.Printf("got update from %s", update.Message.From.Username)
        if update.Message == nil {
            continue
        }
        msg := telegram.CloneMessage(update.Message, nil)
        // echo with the same message
        if _, err := api.Send(ctx, msg); err != nil {
            log.Printf("send error: %v", err)
        }
    }
}

If you want to use bot

go run ./examples/echo/main.go -debug -token BOT_TOKEN

package main
// Simple echo bot, that responses with the same message

import (
    "flag"
    "log"

    "github.com/bot-api/telegram"
    "github.com/bot-api/telegram/telebot"
    "golang.org/x/net/context"
)

func main() {
    token := flag.String("token", "", "telegram bot token")
    debug := flag.Bool("debug", false, "show debug information")
    flag.Parse()

    if *token == "" {
        log.Fatal("token flag is required")
    }

    api := telegram.New(*token)
    api.Debug(*debug)
    bot := telebot.NewWithAPI(api)
    bot.Use(telebot.Recover()) // recover if handler panic

    netCtx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
    defer cancel()

    bot.HandleFunc(func(ctx context.Context) error {
        update := telebot.GetUpdate(ctx) // take update from context
        if update.Message == nil {
            return nil
        }
        api := telebot.GetAPI(ctx) // take api from context
        msg := telegram.CloneMessage(update.Message, nil)
        _, err := api.Send(ctx, msg)
        return err

    })

    // Use command middleware, that helps to work with commands
    bot.Use(telebot.Commands(map[string]telebot.Commander{
        "start": telebot.CommandFunc(
            func(ctx context.Context, arg string) error {

                api := telebot.GetAPI(ctx)
                update := telebot.GetUpdate(ctx)
                _, err := api.SendMessage(ctx,
                    telegram.NewMessagef(update.Chat().ID,
                        "received start with arg %s", arg,
                    ))
                return err
            }),
    }))


    err := bot.Serve(netCtx)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
}

Use callback query and edit bot's message

go run ./examples/callback/main.go -debug -token BOT_TOKEN


bot.HandleFunc(func(ctx context.Context) error {
    update := telebot.GetUpdate(ctx) // take update from context
    api := telebot.GetAPI(ctx) // take api from context

    if update.CallbackQuery != nil {
        data := update.CallbackQuery.Data
        if strings.HasPrefix(data, "sex:") {
            cfg := telegram.NewEditMessageText(
                update.Chat().ID,
                update.CallbackQuery.Message.MessageID,
                fmt.Sprintf("You sex: %s", data[4:]),
            )
            api.AnswerCallbackQuery(
                ctx,
                telegram.NewAnswerCallback(
                    update.CallbackQuery.ID,
                    "Your configs changed",
                ),
            )
            _, err := api.EditMessageText(ctx, cfg)
            return err
        }
    }

    msg := telegram.NewMessage(update.Chat().ID,
        "Your sex:")
    msg.ReplyMarkup = telegram.InlineKeyboardMarkup{
        InlineKeyboard: telegram.NewVInlineKeyboard(
            "sex:",
            []string{"Female", "Male",},
            []string{"female", "male",},
        ),
    }
    _, err := api.SendMessage(ctx, msg)
    return err

})
