This is a PHP7 bot API implementation for Telegram implementing the totality of Bot API up until v3.0
None at the moment. If you find any, feel free to submit a PR or create an issue!
- Enables you to anything supported by the Telegram Bot API: messages, stickers, location, inline bots and any other supported method via PHP to a Telegram user (either direct conversation, channel, group or supergroup).
- Respects and implements the default types and methods made by Telegram itself. Have any doubts about any method? Just check the original documentation, this implementation will not differ too much.
- Doesn't need any dependency, except for Guzzle, which you can inyect if you already use it elsewhere.
- Full inline bots support.
- Full support for payment system.
Composer is a tool for dependency management in PHP. It allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on and it will manage (install/update) them for you. Read this for installation instructions.
The preferred (and only for now) installation method is Composer, so add the following to your composer.json:
{
"require": {
"unreal4u/telegram-api": "~2.4"
}
}If you are not familiar with it, I suggest reading the basic usage manual located here.
Please check the following Wiki page if you have to upgrade from v1 to v2.
use \unreal4u\TelegramAPI\TgLog;
use \unreal4u\TelegramAPI\Telegram\Methods\SendMessage;
$sendMessage = new SendMessage();
$sendMessage->chat_id = A_USER_CHAT_ID;
$sendMessage->text = 'Hello world!';
$tgLog = new TgLog(BOT_TOKEN);
$message = $tgLog->performApiRequest($sendMessage);With the SendMessage() object, you can create a message to be sent through the TgLog object.
All other functionality is based upon this behaviour, so every other method is very similar: you instantiate an object,
pass that object to TelegramLog->performApiRequest() and you'll get the native Telegram response back as an object.
Different methods return different object types.
Please refer to the examples directory to view examples of some of the implemented methods, including inline bots.
For examples of actual code that works in a production environment, please refer to my other repo: https://github.com/unreal4u/telegram-bots
Please check the following wiki section for more information on this.
Please checkout the special wiki page about inline bots.
If you want to use this package, you'll need a bot API key. Check the following documentation for more instructions on that.
The most difficult thing to do when performing an action with the Telegram API is to get the chat_id, which is the actual conversation window the bot talks to. You can execute the GetUpdates() method in order to get this chatId. Note that there are some caveats on this, so you may be better out with the SetWebhook() method instead.
I will try my best to respect Semantic Versioning.
That being said, the first stable release is v1.0.0, from there on no mayor BC changes will occur unless we update
the major.
Colaborations are very welcome! Check this Wiki page out for more information that will make the development easier!
I actually don't use Telegram. Nah, kidding, I created a group where you can contact me at https://t.me/PHPBotAPI. Another great way to help is to simply create an issue or a pull request!
I would appreciate it if you could handle these responsibly. If you happen to find a security issue relating to this Telegram Bot API client, please ask me to contact you privately over here.
