TelegramBot bot = new TelegramBot("BOT_TOKEN");
Network operations based on OkHttp library.
You can build bot with custom OkHttpClient, for specific timeouts or interceptors.
TelegramBot bot = new TelegramBot.Builder("BOT_TOKEN").okHttpClient(client).build();
Synchronous
BaseResponse response = bot.execute(request);
Asynchronous
bot.execute(request, new Callback() {
@Override
public void onResponse(BaseRequest request, BaseResponse response) {
}
@Override
public void onFailure(BaseRequest request, IOException e) {
}
});
Request in response to update
String response = request.toWebhookResponse();
You can use getUpdates request, parse incoming Webhook request, or set listener to receive updates.
Update object just copies Telegram's response.
class Update {
Integer updateId();
Message message();
Message editedMessage();
InlineQuery inlineQuery();
ChosenInlineResult chosenInlineResult();
CallbackQuery callbackQuery();
}
Building request
GetUpdates getUpdates = new GetUpdates().limit(100).offset(0).timeout(0);
The getUpdates method returns the earliest 100 unconfirmed updates. To confirm an update, use the offset parameter when calling getUpdates like this:
offset = updateId of last processed update + 1
All updates with updateId less than offset will be marked as confirmed on the server and will no longer be returned.
Executing
// sync
GetUpdatesResponse updatesResponse = bot.execute(getUpdates);
List<Update> updates = updatesResponse.updates();
...
Message message = update.message()
// async
bot.execute(getUpdates, new Callback<GetUpdates, GetUpdatesResponse>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(GetUpdates request, GetUpdatesResponse response) {
List<Update> updates = updatesResponse.updates();
}
@Override
public void onFailure(GetUpdates request, IOException e) {
}
});
Building request
SetWebhook request = new SetWebhook()
.url("url")
.certificate(new byte[]{}) // byte[]
.certificate(new File("path")); // or file
Executing
// sync
BaseResponse response = bot.execute(request);
boolean ok = response.isOk();
// async
bot.execute(request, new Callback<SetWebhook, BaseResponse>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(SetWebhook request, BaseResponse response) {
}
@Override
public void onFailure(SetWebhook request, IOException e) {
}
});
Using Webhook you can parse request to Update
Update update = BotUtils.parseUpdate(stringRequest); // from String
Update update = BotUtils.parseUpdate(reader); // or from java.io.Reader
Message message = update.message();
You can set listener to receiving incoming updates as if using Webhook.
This will trigger executing getUpdates requests in a loop.
bot.setUpdatesListener(new UpdatesListener() {
@Override
public int process(List<Update> updates) {
// process updates
return UpdatesListener.CONFIRMED_UPDATES_ALL;
}
});
Listener should return id of the last processed (confirmed) update.
To confirm all updates return UpdatesListener.CONFIRMED_UPDATES_ALL
, this should be enough in most cases.
To not confirm any updates return UpdatesListener.CONFIRMED_UPDATES_NONE
, these updates will be redelivered.
To set specific update as last confirmed just return required updateId.
To stop receiving updates
bot.removeGetUpdatesListener();
All types have the same name as original ones.
Type's fields are methods in lowerCamelCase.
Types used in responses (Update, Message, User, Document...) are in com.pengrad.telegrambot.model
package.
Types used in requests (Keyboard, InlineQueryResult, ParseMode, InputMessageContent...) are in com.pengrad.telegrambot.model.request
package.
When creating request's type required params should be passed in constructor, optional params can be added in chains.
ForceReply, ReplyKeyboardRemove
Keyboard forceReply = new ForceReply(isSelective); // or just new ForceReply();
Keyboard replyKeyboardRemove = new ReplyKeyboardRemove(); // new ReplyKeyboardRemove(isSelective)
ReplyKeyboardMarkup

new String[]{"first row button1", "first row button2"},
new String[]{"second row button1", "second row button2"})

});
ChatAction action = ChatAction.typing;
ChatAction action = ChatAction.upload_photo;
ChatAction action = ChatAction.find_location;
All request methods have the same names as original ones.
Required params should be passed in constructor.
Optional params can be added in chains.
All send requests (SendMessage, SendPhoto, SendLocation...) return SendResponse object that contains Message.

});
ParseMode parseMode = ParseMode.Markdown;
ParseMode parseMode = ParseMode.HTML;
GetFile request = new GetFile("fileId")
GetFileResponse getFileResponse = bot.execute(request);
File file = getFileResponse.file(); // com.pengrad.telegrambot.model.File
file.fileId();
file.filePath(); // relative path
file.fileSize();
To get downloading link as https://api.telegram.org/file/bot<token>/<file_path>
String fullPath = bot.getFullFilePath(file); // com.pengrad.telegrambot.model.File

List<Update> updates = updatesResponse.updates();
...
InlineQuery inlineQuery = update.inlineQuery();

);
BaseResponse response = bot.execute(answerShippingQuery);
// answer with error
AnswerShippingQuery answerShippingError = new AnswerShippingQuery(id, "Can't deliver here!");

BaseResponse response = bot.execute(answerPreCheckoutQuery);
When the user confirms your request by pressing the ‘Authorize’ button, the Bot API sends an Update with the field passport_data to the bot that contains encrypted Telegram Passport data. Telegram Passport Manual
You can get encrypted Passport data from Update (via UpdatesListener or Webhook)
PassportData passportData = update.message().passportData();
PassportData contains array of EncryptedPassportElement
and EncryptedCredentials
.
You need to decrypt Credentials
using private key (public key you uploaded to @BotFather
)
String privateKey = "...";
EncryptedCredentials encryptedCredentials = passportData.credentials();
Credentials credentials = encryptedCredentials.decrypt(privateKey);
These Credentials
can be used to decrypt encrypted data in EncryptedPassportElement
.
EncryptedPassportElement[] encryptedPassportElements = passportData.data();
for (EncryptedPassportElement element : encryptedPassportElements) {
DecryptedData decryptedData = element.decryptData(credentials);
// DecryptedData can be cast to specific type by checking instanceOf
if (decryptedData instanceof PersonalDetails) {
PersonalDetails personalDetails = (PersonalDetails) decryptedData;
}
// Or by checking type of passport element
if (element.type() == EncryptedPassportElement.Type.address) {
ResidentialAddress address = (ResidentialAddress) decryptedData;
}
}
EncryptedPassportElement
also contains array of PassportFile
(file uploaded to Telegram Passport).
You need to download them 1 by 1 and decrypt content.
This library supports downloading and decryption, returns decrypted byte[]
EncryptedPassportElement element = ...
// Combine all files
List<PassportFile> files = new ArrayList<PassportFile>();
files.add(element.frontSide());
files.add(element.reverseSide());
files.add(element.selfie());
if (element.files() != null) {
files.addAll(Arrays.asList(element.files()));
}
if (element.translation() != null) {
files.addAll(Arrays.asList(element.translation()));
}
// Decrypt
for (PassportFile file : files) {
if (file == null) continue;
byte[] data = element.decryptFile(file, credentials, bot); // GetFile request and decrypt content
// save to file if needed
new FileOutputStream("files/" + element.type()).write(data);
}
SetPassportDataErrors setPassportDataErrors = new SetPassportDataErrors(chatId,
new PassportElementErrorDataField("personal_details", "first_name", "dataHash",
"Please enter a valid First name"),
new PassportElementErrorSelfie("driver_license", "fileHash",
"Can't see your face on photo")
);
bot.execute(setPassportDataErrors);
Send game
SendResponse response = bot.execute(new SendGame(chatId, "my_super_game"));
Set game score
BaseResponse response = bot.execute(new SetGameScore(userId, score, chatId, messageId));
Get game high scores
GetGameHighScoresResponse response = bot.execute(new GetGameHighScores(userId, chatId, messageId));
GameHighScore[] scores = response.result();
