package main

import (
    "encoding/json"
    "fmt"
    "os"

    Telegraphist "github.com/xamut/telegraphist"
    Telegram "github.com/xamut/telegraphist/telegram"
)

func printResp(resp interface{}, err error) {
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }
    respAsJSON, _ := json.MarshalIndent(resp, "", "\t")
    fmt.Println(string(respAsJSON))
}

func main() {
    telegraphist, err := Telegraphist.NewClient(&Telegraphist.ClientConfig{
        BotToken: "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN",
    })

    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }

    printResp(telegraphist.GetMe()) // Simple method to obtain basic bot info
                    // https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#getme
                    // Returns an User struct

    chatID := int64(<YOUR_CHAT_ID>)
    printResp(telegraphist.SendMessage(&Telegram.SendMessageParams{ // Send a text message to a chat
        ChatID: chatID,                         // https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#sendmessage
        Text:   "Hello there!",                 // Returns a Message struct
    }))

    photo, _ := os.Open("<PATH_TO_PHOTO>")
    printResp(telegraphist.SendPhoto(&Telegram.SendPhotoParams{ // Send a photo to a chat
        ChatID:  chatID,                            // https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#sendphoto
        Photo:   photo,                     // Returns a Message struct
        Caption: "Just a nice photo",
    }))
}

Getting updates

Webhook

  • Find your IP
curl ifconfig.co

  • Use nip.io to pretend you have a domain, for example, "app.X.X.X.X.nip.io"

  • Generate a certificate, replace X.X.X.X with your IP:

openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 \
  -new -nodes -x509 \
  -days 3650 \
  -out cert.pem \
  -keyout key.pem \
  -subj "/O=Organization/CN=app.X.X.X.X.nip.io"
  • Run server
package main

    "log"
    "net/url"
    "os"
    "path"

NOTE: Use this example only for testing purposes, for production use something like nginx or traefik to serve HTTPS (and/or to (re)generate Let's Encrypt certificate).
