Bots are special Telegram accounts designed to handle messages automatically. Users can interact with bots by sending them command messages in private or group chats. These accounts serve as an interface for code running somewhere on your server.
Bots are special Telegram accounts designed to handle messages automatically. Users can interact with bots
by sending them command messages in private or group chats. These accounts serve as an interface for
code running somewhere on your server.
Telebot offers a convenient wrapper to Bots API, so you shouldn't even
care about networking at all. You may install it with
bother about networking at all. You may install it with
go get github.com/tucnak/telebot
(after setting up your `GOPATH` properly).
Since you are probably
hosting your bot in a public repository, we'll add an environment
variable for the token in this example. Please set it with
We highly recommend you to keep your bot access token outside the code base,
preferably as an environmental variable:
export BOT_TOKEN=<your token here>
Here is an example "helloworld" bot, written with telebot:
Take a look at a minimal functional bot setup:
```go
package main
import (
"log"
"time"
"os"
"github.com/tucnak/telebot"
"log"
"os"
"time"
"github.com/tucnak/telebot"
)
func main() {
bot, err := telebot.NewBot(os.Getenv("BOT_TOKEN"))
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
messages := make(chan telebot.Message)
bot.Listen(messages, 1*time.Second)
for message := range messages {
if message.Text == "/hi" {
bot.SendMessage(message.Chat,
"Hello, "+message.Sender.FirstName+"!", nil)
}
}
bot, err := telebot.NewBot(os.Getenv("BOT_TOKEN"))
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
messages := make(chan telebot.Message, 100)
bot.Listen(messages, 1*time.Second)
for message := range messages {
if message.Text == "/hi" {
bot.SendMessage(message.Chat,
"Hello, "+message.Sender.FirstName+"!", nil)
}
}
}
```
## Inline mode
As of January 4, 2016, Telegram added inline mode support for bots.
Telebot support inline mode in a fancy manner. Here's a nice way to handle both incoming messages and inline queries:

bot.Messages = make(chan telebot.Message, 1000)
bot.Queries = make(chan telebot.Query, 1000)

bot.Start(1 * time.Second)
bot.Start(1 * time.Second)
}
func messages() {

func queries() {

log.Println("--- new query ---")
log.Println("from:", query.From.Username)
log.Println("text:", query.Text)
// Create an article (a link) object to show in our results.

## Files
Telebot lets you upload files from the file system:
```go
boom, err := telebot.NewFile("boom.ogg")
if err != nil {
return err
return err
}
audio := telebot.Audio{File: boom}
@ -139,22 +136,22 @@ err = bot.SendAudio(recipient, &audio, nil)
```
## Reply markup
Sometimes you wanna send a little complicated messages with some optional parameters. The third argument of all `Send*` methods accepts `telebot.SendOptions`, capable of defining an advanced reply markup:
```go
// Send a selective force reply message.
bot.SendMessage(user, "pong", &telebot.SendOptions{
ReplyMarkup: telebot.ReplyMarkup{
ForceReply: true,
Selective: true,
ReplyMarkup: telebot.ReplyMarkup{
ForceReply: true,
Selective: true,
CustomKeyboard: [][]string{
[]string{"1", "2", "3"},
[]string{"4", "5", "6"},
[]string{"7", "8", "9"},
[]string{"*", "0", "#"},
},
},
},
},
},
)
```
