Installation

go get github.com/benjaminchen/telegram-bot-api

Example

There are two mutually exclusive ways of receiving updates for your bot — the getUpdates method on one hand and Webhooks on the other.

GetUpdates

package main

import (
	"log"
	"net/http"
	"strconv"

	"github.com/benjaminchen/telegram-bot-api"
)

func main() {
	bot, err := tgbot.NewBotApi("your-bot-token", &http.Client{})
	if err != nil {
		log.Panic(err)
	}

	payload := &tgbot.GetUpdatesPayload{
		Timeout: 10,
	}
	updates := bot.GetUpdatesChannel(payload)
	for update := range updates {
        fromId := update.Message.From.Id
        fromName := update.Message.From.UserName
        text := update.Message.Text

		log.Printf("Get msg from %d[%s] and msg is: %s", fromId, fromName, text)
		if update.Message.Text != "" {
			continue
		}

		bot.SendMessage(&tgbot.SendMessagePayload{
			ChatId: strconv.Itoa(fromId),
			Text:   update.Message.Text,
		})
	}
}

SetWebhook

package main

import (
	"encoding/json"
	"strconv"
	"io/ioutil"
	"log"
	"net/http"

	"github.com/benjaminchen/telegram-bot-api"
)

func main() {
	bot, err := tgbot.NewBotApi("your-bot-token", &http.Client{})
	if err != nil {
		log.Panic(err)
	}

    payload := &tgbot.SetWebhookPayload{
		Url: "your-webhook-url",
	}
	_, err = bot.SetWebhook(payload)
	if err != nil {
		log.Panic(err)
	}

	http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
		bytes, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(r.Body)

		var update tgbot.Update
		json.Unmarshal(bytes, &update)

		bot.SendMessage(&tgbot.SendMessagePayload{
			ChatId: strconv.Itoa(update.Message.From.Id),
			Text:   update.Message.Text,
		})
	})
	http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
}
