.NET client for Telegram Bot API. The Bot API is an HTTP-based interface created for developers keen on building bots for Telegram.

Join our super group on Telegram: @tgbots_dotnet

Our official product is Telegram.Bot NuGet package. However, due to some issues, Telegram.Bot.Core package is also maintained and gets the latest updates faster. You can target Telegram.Bot.Core NuGet package for now and hopefully, we would again work only on the Telegram.Bot package soon.

Getting Started

First, talk to BotFather on Telegram to get an API token. Place your token in method below and call the method.

static async Task TestApiAsync()
{
    var botClient = new Telegram.Bot.TelegramBotClient("your API access Token");
    var me = await botClient.GetMeAsync();
    System.Console.WriteLine("Hello! My name is " + me.FirstName);
}
