Overview

Telebot is a bot framework for Telegram Bot API. This package provides the best of its kind API for command routing, inline query requests and keyboards, as well as callbacks. Actually, I went a couple steps further, so instead of making a 1:1 API wrapper I chose to focus on the beauty of API and performance. Some of the strong sides of telebot are:

  • Real concise API
  • Command routing
  • Middleware
  • Transparent File API
  • Effortless bot callbacks

All the methods of telebot API are extremely easy to memorize and get used to. Also, consider Telebot a highload-ready solution. I'll test and benchmark the most popular actions and if necessary, optimize against them without sacrificing API quality.

Getting Started

Let's take a look at the minimal telebot setup:

package main

import (
	"time"
	"log"

	tb "gopkg.in/tucnak/telebot.v2"
)

func main() {
	b, err := tb.NewBot(tb.Settings{
		Token:  "TOKEN_HERE",
		Poller: &tb.LongPoller{Timeout: 10 * time.Second},
	})

	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
		return
	}

	b.Handle("/hello", func(m *tb.Message) {
		b.Send(m.Sender, "hello world")
	})

	b.Start()
}

Simple, innit? Telebot's routing system takes care of deliviering updates to their endpoints, so in order to get to handle any meaningful event, all you got to do is just plug your function to one of the Telebot-provided endpoints. You can find the full list here.

b, _ := tb.NewBot(settings)

b.Handle(tb.OnText, func(m *tb.Message) {
	// all the text messages that weren't
	// captured by existing handlers
}

b.Handle(tb.OnPhoto, func(m *tb.Message) {
	// photos only
}

b.Handle(tb.OnChannelPost, func (m *tb.Message) {
	// channel posts only
})

b.Handle(tb.Query, func (q *tb.Query) {
	// incoming inline queries
})

Now there's a dozen of supported endpoints (see package consts). Let me know if you'd like to see some endpoint or endpoint idea implemented. This system is completely extensible, so I can introduce them without braking backwards-compatibity.

Poller

Telebot doesn't really care how you provide it with incoming updates, as long as you set it up with a Poller:

// Poller is a provider of Updates.
//
// All pollers must implement Poll(), which accepts bot
// pointer and subscription channel and start polling
// synchronously straight away.
type Poller interface {
	// Poll is supposed to take the bot object
	// subscription channel and start polling
	// for Updates immediately.
	//
	// Poller must listen for stop constantly and close
	// it as soon as it's done polling.
	Poll(b *Bot, updates chan Update, stop chan struct{})
}

Telegram Bot API supports long polling and webhook integration. I don't really care about webhooks, so the only concrete Poller you'll find in the library is the LongPoller. Poller means you can plug telebot into whatever existing bot infrastructure (load balancers?) you need, if you need to. Another great thing about pollers is that you can chain them, making some sort of middleware:

poller := &tb.LongPoller{Timeout: 15 * time.Second}
spamProtected := tb.NewMiddlewarePoller(poller, func(upd *tb.Update) bool {
	if upd.Message == nil {
		return true
	}

	if strings.Contains(upd.Message.Text, "spam") {
		return false
	}

	return true
})

bot, _ := tb.NewBot(tb.Settings{
	// ...
	Poller: spamProtected,
})

// graceful shutdown
go func() {
	<-time.After(N * time.Second)
	bot.Stop()
})()

bot.Start() // blocks until shutdown

fmt.Println(poller.LastUpdateID) // 134237

Commands

When handling commands, Telebot supports both direct (/command) and group-like syntax (/command@botname) and will never deliver messages addressed to some other bot, even if privacy mode is off. For simplified deep-linking, telebot also extracts payload:

// Command: /start <PAYLOAD>
b.Handle("/start", func(m *tb.Message) {
	if !m.Private() {
		return
	}

	fmt.Println(m.Payload) // <PAYLOAD>
})

Files

Telegram allows files up to 20 MB in size.

Telebot allows to both upload (from disk / by URL) and download (from Telegram) and files in bot's scope. Also, sending any kind of media with a File created from disk will upload the file to Telegram automatically:

a := &tb.Audio{File: tb.FromDisk("file.ogg")}

fmt.Println(a.OnDisk()) // true
fmt.Println(a.InCloud()) // false

// Will upload the file from disk and send it to recipient
bot.Send(recipient, a)

// Next time you'll be sending this very *Audio, Telebot won't
// re-upload the same file but rather utilize its Telegram FileID
bot.Send(otherRecipient, a)

fmt.Println(a.OnDisk()) // true
fmt.Println(a.InCloud()) // true
fmt.Println(a.FileID) // <telegram file id: ABC-DEF1234ghIkl-zyx57W2v1u123ew11>

You might want to save certain Files in order to avoid re-uploading. Feel free to marshal them into whatever format, File only contain public fields, so no data will ever be lost.

Sendable

Send is undoubteldy the most important method in Telebot. Send() accepts a Recipient (could be user, group or a channel) and a Sendable. FYI, not only all telebot-provided media types (Photo, Audio, Video, etc.) are Sendable, but you can create composite types of your own. As long as they satisfy Sendable, Telebot will be able to send them out.

// Sendable is any object that can send itself.
//
// This is pretty cool, since it lets bots implement
// custom Sendables for complex kind of media or
// chat objects spanning across multiple messages.
type Sendable interface {
    Send(*Bot, Recipient, *SendOptions) (*Message, error)
}

The only type at the time that doesn't fit Send() is Album and there is a reason for that. Albums were added not so long ago, so they are slightly quirky for backwards compatibilities sake. In fact, an Album can be sent, but never received. Instead, Telegram returns a []Message, one for each media object in the album:

p := &tb.Photo{File: tb.FromDisk("chicken.jpg")}
v := &tb.Video{File: tb.FromURL("http://video.mp4")}

msgs, err := b.SendAlbum(user, tb.Album{p, v})
Send options

Send options are objects and flags you can pass to Send(), Edit() and friends as optional arguments (following the recipient and the text/media). The most important one is called SendOptions, it lets you control all the properties of the message supported by Telegram. The only drawback is that it's rather inconvenient to use at times, so Send() supports multiple shorthands:

// regular send options
b.Send(user, "text", &tb.SendOptions{
	// ...
})

// ReplyMarkup is a part of SendOptions,
// but often it's the only option you need
b.Send(user, "text", &tb.ReplyMarkup{
	// ...
})

// flags: no notification && no web link preview
b.Send(user, "text", tb.Silent, tb.NoPreview)

Full list of supported option-flags you can find here.

Editable

If you want to edit some existing message, you don't really need to store the original *Message object. In fact, upon edit, Telegram only requires chat_id and message_id. So you don't really need the Message as the whole. Also you might want to store references to certain messages in the database, so I thought it made sense for any Go struct to be editable as a Telegram message, to implement Editable:

// Editable is an interface for all objects that
// provide "message signature", a pair of 32-bit
// message ID and 64-bit chat ID, both required
// for edit operations.
//
// Use case: DB model struct for messages to-be
// edited with, say two collums: msg_id,chat_id
// could easily implement MessageSig() making
// instances of stored messages editable.
type Editable interface {
	// MessageSig is a "message signature".
	//
	// For inline messages, return chatID = 0.
	MessageSig() (messageID int, chatID int64)
}

For example, Message type is Editable. Here is the implementation of StoredMessage type, provided by telebot:

// StoredMessage is an example struct suitable for being
// stored in the database as-is or being embedded into
// a larger struct, which is often the case (you might
// want to store some metadata alongside, or might not.)
type StoredMessage struct {
	MessageID int   `sql:"message_id" json:"message_id"`
	ChatID    int64 `sql:"chat_id" json:"chat_id"`
}

func (x StoredMessage) MessageSig() (int, int64) {
	return x.MessageID, x.ChatID
}

Why bother at all? Well, it allows you to do things like this:

// just two integer columns in the database
var msgs []tb.StoredMessage
db.Find(&msgs) // gorm syntax

for _, msg := range msgs {
	bot.Edit(&msg, "Updated text.")
	// or
	bot.Delete(&msg)
}

I find it incredibly neat. Worth noting, at this point of time there exists another method in the Edit family, EditCaption() which is of a pretty rare use, so I didn't bother including it to Edit(), just like I did with SendAlbum() as it would inevitably lead to unnecessary complications.

var m *Message

// change caption of a photo, audio, etc.
bot.EditCaption(m, "new caption")

Keyboards

Telebot supports both kinds of keyboards Telegram provides: reply and inline keyboards. Any button can also act as an endpoints for Handle():

func main() {
	b, _ := tb.NewBot(tb.Settings{...})

	// This button will be displayed in user's
	// reply keyboard.
	replyBtn := tb.ReplyButton{Text: "🌕 Button #1"}
	replyKeys := [][]tb.ReplyButton{
		[]tb.ReplyButton{replyBtn},
		// ...
	}

	// And this one — just under the message itself.
	// Pressing it will cause the client to send
	// the bot a callback.
	//
	// Make sure Unique stays unique as it has to be
	// for callback routing to work.
	inlineBtn := tb.InlineButton{
		Unique: "sad_moon",
		Text: "🌚 Button #2",
	}
	inlineKeys := [][]tb.InlineButton{
		[]tb.InlineButton{inlineBtn},
		// ...
	}

	b.Handle(&replyBtn, func(m *tb.Message) {
		// on reply button pressed
	})

	b.Handle(&inlineBtn, func(c *tb.Callback) {
		// on inline button pressed (callback!)

		// always respond!
		c.Respond(&tb.CallbackResponse{...})
	})

	// Command: /start <PAYLOAD>
	b.Handle("/start", func(m *tb.Message) {
		if !m.Private() {
			return
		}

		b.Send(m.Sender, "Hello!", &tb.ReplyMarkup{
			ReplyKeyboard:  replyKeys,
			InlineKeyboard: inlineKeys,
		})
	})

	b.Start()
}

Inline mode

So if you want to handle incoming inline queries you better plug the tb.OnQuery endpoint and then use the Answer() method to send a list of inline queries back. I think at the time of writing, telebot supports all of the provided result types (but not the cached ones). This is how it looks like:

b.Handle(tb.OnQuery, func(q *tb.Query) {
	urls := []string{
		"http://photo.jpg",
		"http://photo2.jpg",
	}

	results := make(tb.Results, len(urls)) // []tb.Result
	for i, url := range urls {
		result := &tb.PhotoResult{
			URL: url,

			// required for photos
			ThumbURL: url,
		}

		results[i] = result
	}

	err := b.Answer(q, &tb.QueryResponse{
		Results: results,
		CacheTime: 60, // a minute
	})

	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
	}
})

There's not much to talk about really. It also support some form of authentication through deep-linking. For that, use fields SwitchPMText and SwitchPMParameter of QueryResponse.

Example: 

bot.Respond(c)
bot.Respond(c, response)

func (*Bot) Restrict 

func (b *Bot) Restrict(chat *Chat, member *ChatMember) error

Restrict let's you restrict a subset of member's rights until member.RestrictedUntil, such as:

  • can send messages
  • can send media
  • can send other
  • can add web page previews

func (*Bot) Send 

func (b *Bot) Send(to Recipient, what interface{}, options ...interface{}) (*Message, error)

Send accepts 2+ arguments, starting with destination chat, followed by some Sendable (or string!) and optional send options.

Note: since most arguments are of type interface{}, make sure to pass 

them by-pointer, NOT by-value, which will result in a panic.

What is a send option exactly? It can be one of the following types:

  • *SendOptions (the actual object accepted by Telegram API)
  • *ReplyMarkup (a component of SendOptions)
  • Option (a shorcut flag for popular options)

	// subscription channel and start polling
	// for Updates immediately.
	//
	// Poller must listen for stop constantly and close
	// it as soon as it's done polling.
	Poll(b *Bot, updates chan Update, stop chan struct{})
}

Poller is a provider of Updates.

All pollers must implement Poll(), which accepts bot pointer and subscription channel and start polling synchronously straight away.

type Query

	// (Optional) The maximum amount of time in seconds that the result
	// of the inline query may be cached on the server.
	CacheTime int `json:"cache_time,omitempty"`

	// (Optional) Pass True, if results may be cached on the server side
	// only for the user that sent the query. By default, results may
	// be returned to any user who sends the same query.
	IsPersonal bool `json:"is_personal"`

	// (Optional) Pass the offset that a client should send in the next
	// query with the same text to receive more results. Pass an empty
	// string if there are no more results or if you don‘t support
	// pagination. Offset length can’t exceed 64 bytes.
	NextOffset string `json:"next_offset"`

	// (Optional) If passed, clients will display a button with specified
	// text that switches the user to a private chat with the bot and sends
	// the bot a start message with the parameter switch_pm_parameter.
	SwitchPMText string `json:"switch_pm_text,omitempty"`

	// (Optional) Parameter for the start message sent to the bot when user
	// presses the switch button.
	SwitchPMParameter string `json:"switch_pm_parameter,omitempty"`

	// ReplyKeyboard is a grid, consisting of keyboard buttons.
	//
	// Note: you don't need to set HideCustomKeyboard field to show custom keyboard.
	ReplyKeyboard [][]ReplyButton `json:"keyboard,omitempty"`

	// ForceReply forces Telegram clients to display
	// a reply interface to the user (act as if the user
	// has selected the bot‘s message and tapped "Reply").
	ForceReply bool `json:"force_reply,omitempty"`

	// Requests clients to resize the keyboard vertically for optimal fit
	// (e.g. make the keyboard smaller if there are just two rows of buttons).
	//
	// Defaults to false, in which case the custom keyboard is always of the
	// same height as the app's standard keyboard.
	ResizeReplyKeyboard bool `json:"resize_keyboard,omitempty"`

	// Requests clients to hide the reply keyboard as soon as it's been used.
	//
	// Defaults to false.
	OneTimeKeyboard bool `json:"one_time_keyboard,omitempty"`

	// Use this param if you want to force reply from
	// specific users only.
	//
	// Targets:
	// 1) Users that are @mentioned in the text of the Message object;
	// 2) If the bot's message is a reply (has SendOptions.ReplyTo),
	//       sender of the original message.
	Selective bool `json:"selective,omitempty"`
}

ReplyMarkup controls two convenient options for bot-user communications such as reply keyboard and inline "keyboard" (a grid of buttons as a part of the message).

type Result

	ID string `json:"id",hash:"ignore"`

	// Ignore. This field gets set automatically.
	Type string `json:"type",hash:"ignore"`

	// Optional. Content of the message to be sent.
	Content *InputMessageContent `json:"input_message_content,omitempty"`

	ReplyMarkup *InlineKeyboardMarkup `json:"reply_markup,omitempty"`
}

ResultBase must be embedded into all IQRs.

func (*ResultBase) ResultID

ResultID returns ResultBase.ID.

func (*ResultBase) SetResultID 

func (r *ResultBase) SetResultID(id string)

func (Results) MarshalJSON 

func (results Results) MarshalJSON() ([]byte, error)

MarshalJSON makes sure IQRs have proper IDs and Type variables set.

If ID of some result appears empty, it gets set to a new hash. JSON-specific Type gets infered from the actual (specific) IQR type.

type Rights 

type Rights struct {
	CanBeEdited        bool `json:"can_be_edited,omitempty"`             // 1
	CanChangeInfo      bool `json:"can_change_info,omitempty"`           // 2
	CanPostMessages    bool `json:"can_post_messages,omitempty"`         // 3
	CanEditMessages    bool `json:"can_edit_messages,omitempty"`         // 4

}

Rights is a list of privileges available to chat members.

func AdminRights 

func AdminRights() Rights

AdminRights could be used to promote user to admin.

func NoRestrictions 

func NoRestrictions() Rights

NoRestrictions should be used when un-restricting or un-promoting user. 

	   member.Rights = NoRestrictions()
    bot.Restrict(chat, member)

NoRights is the default Rights{}

type SendOptions 

type SendOptions struct {
	// If the message is a reply, original message.
	ReplyTo *Message

	// See ReplyMarkup struct definition.

	// For text messages, disables previews for links in this message.
	DisableWebPagePreview bool

	// Sends the message silently. iOS users will not receive a notification, Android users will receive a notification with no sound.
	DisableNotification bool

	// ParseMode controls how client apps render your message.
	ParseMode ParseMode
}

SendOptions has most complete control over in what way the message must be sent, providing an API-complete set of custom properties and options.

Despite its power, SendOptions is rather inconvenient to use all the way through bot logic, so you might want to consider storing and re-using it somewhere or be using Option flags instead.

type Sendable 

type Sendable interface {
	Send(*Bot, Recipient, *SendOptions) (*Message, error)
}

Sendable is any object that can send itself.

This is pretty cool, since it lets bots implement custom Sendables for complex kind of media or chat objects spanning across multiple messages.

type Settings struct {
	// Telegram token
	Token string

	// Updates channel capacity
	Updates int // Default: 100
