Autogenerated Go wrapper for the telegram API. Inspired by the python-telegram-bot library.

Golang Telegram Bot library

Heavily inspired by the python-telegram-bot library, this package is a code-generated wrapper for the telegram bot api. We also provide an extensions package which defines an updater/dispatcher pattern to avoid having to rewrite update processing.

All the telegram types and methods are present in the gen_*.go files. These are all generated from a bot api spec and can be recreated by running go generate in the repo root. This makes it extremely easy to update the library; simply download the latest spec, and regenerate.

If you have any questions, come find us in our telegram support chat!

Features:

• All telegram API types and methods are generated from the bot api docs, which makes this library:
  • Guaranteed to match the docs
  • Easy to update
  • Self-documenting (Can simply reuse pre-existing telegram docs)
• Type safe; no weird interface{} logic.
• No third party library bloat; only uses standard library.
• Updates are each processed in their own go routine, encouraging concurrent processing, and keeping your bot responsive.
• Code panics automatically recovered from and logged, avoiding unexpected downtime.

Getting started

Download the library with the standard go get command:

go get github.com/PaulSonOfLars/gotgbot/v2
