This app is is a very simple Telegram PHP API for newly announced Telegram Bots.
###Features
- By installing this app, you can have a working Telegram Bot within minutes!
- This app only has two routes (which one is to register the webhook, another is to listen the webhook) in an
index.phpfile, and a configuration file. - This app can handle multiple accounts from same route. Different hooks will be different route parameters. I'm already hosting two different bots with the same application.
- There is a single
config.phpfile which holds the API keys, auto reply strings and patterns. - Bot works on both private chats and groups.
- The bot can either quote or send the response text directly.
- You can enable or disable preview links in Bots' responses.
- For now, the Bots can only send a random string from an array of each predefined text patterns, or else the fallback string.
###Requirements
- PHP5.5+ (for Guzzle)
- An SSL certificate (Telegram API requires this). You can use Cloudflare's Free Flexilbe SSL which crypts the web traffic from end user to their proxies if you're using CloudFlare DNS.
- Telegram API key, you can get one simply with @BotFather with simple commands right after creating your bot.
###Installation
- Copy the app into your (virtual)server
- Cd into the app's directory
- Run
composer install - Edit the
config.phpfile with your credentials, and API keys - Run your app.
###Thanks
