Tourmaline

Chat on Telegram

Telegram Bot API framework written in Crystal. Based heavily off of Telegraf this Crystal implementation allows your Telegram bot to be written in a language that's both beautiful and fast. Benchmarks coming soon.

If you want to extend your bot by using NLP, see my other library Cadmium.

Installation

Add this to your application's shard.yml:

dependencies:
  tourmaline:
    github: protoncr/tourmaline
    branch: master

Usage

API documentation is also available here.

Examples are available in the examples folder.

Just for README purposes though, let's look at the echo bot example:

require "tourmaline"

class EchoBot < Tourmaline::Client
  @[Command("echo")]
  def echo_command(ctx)
    ctx.message.reply(ctx.text)
  end
end

bot = EchoBot.new(bot_token: ENV["API_KEY"])
bot.poll
