# Golang bindings for the Telegram Bot API

[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/go-telegram-bot-api/telegram-bot-api?status.svg)](http://godoc.org/github.com/go-telegram-bot-api/telegram-bot-api)
[![Travis](https://travis-ci.org/go-telegram-bot-api/telegram-bot-api.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/go-telegram-bot-api/telegram-bot-api)

All methods have been added, and all features should be available.
If you want a feature that hasn't been added yet or something is broken,
open an issue and I'll see what I can do.

All methods are fairly self explanatory, and reading the godoc page should
explain everything. If something isn't clear, open an issue or submit
a pull request.

The scope of this project is just to provide a wrapper around the API
without any additional features. There are other projects for creating
something with plugins and command handlers without having to design
all that yourself.

Use `github.com/go-telegram-bot-api/telegram-bot-api` for the latest
version, or use `gopkg.in/telegram-bot-api.v4` for the stable build.

Join [the development group](https://telegram.me/go_telegram_bot_api) if
you want to ask questions or discuss development.

## Example

This is a very simple bot that just displays any gotten updates,
then replies it to that chat.

```go
package main

import (
	"log"
	"gopkg.in/telegram-bot-api.v4"
)

func main() {
	bot, err := tgbotapi.NewBotAPI("MyAwesomeBotToken")
	if err != nil {
		log.Panic(err)
	}

	bot.Debug = true

	log.Printf("Authorized on account %s", bot.Self.UserName)

	u := tgbotapi.NewUpdate(0)
	u.Timeout = 60

	updates, err := bot.GetUpdatesChan(u)

	for update := range updates {
		if update.Message == nil {
			continue
		}

		log.Printf("[%s] %s", update.Message.From.UserName, update.Message.Text)

		msg := tgbotapi.NewMessage(update.Message.Chat.ID, update.Message.Text)
		msg.ReplyToMessageID = update.Message.MessageID

		bot.Send(msg)
	}
}
```

If you need to use webhooks (if you wish to run on Google App Engine),
you may use a slightly different method.

```go
package main

import (
	"gopkg.in/telegram-bot-api.v4"
	"log"
	"net/http"
)

func main() {
	bot, err := tgbotapi.NewBotAPI("MyAwesomeBotToken")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	bot.Debug = true

	log.Printf("Authorized on account %s", bot.Self.UserName)

	_, err = bot.SetWebhook(tgbotapi.NewWebhookWithCert("https://www.google.com:8443/"+bot.Token, "cert.pem"))
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	info, err := bot.GetWebhookInfo()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	if info.LastErrorDate != 0 {
		log.Printf("[Telegram callback failed]%s", info.LastErrorMessage)
	}
	updates := bot.ListenForWebhook("/" + bot.Token)
	go http.ListenAndServeTLS("0.0.0.0:8443", "cert.pem", "key.pem", nil)

	for update := range updates {
		log.Printf("%+v\n", update)
	}
}
```

If you need, you may generate a self signed certficate, as this requires
HTTPS / TLS. The above example tells Telegram that this is your
certificate and that it should be trusted, even though it is not
properly signed.

    openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 3560 -subj "//O=Org\CN=Test" -nodes

Now that [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org) has entered public beta,
you may wish to generate your free TLS certificate there.
