Telebot

Ruby client for Telegram's Bot API.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'telebot'

Run

$ gem install telebot

Usage

Minimal example, that repeats a message, would look like this:

bot = Telebot::Bot.new(TOKEN)

bot.run do |client, message|
  reply = "You've said: #{message.text}"
  client.send_message(chat_id: message.chat.id, text: reply)
end

Please check out full featured example as well: demo.rb.

Using pure client

client = Telebot::Client.new(TOKEN)

# Perform getMe call
client.get_me
# =>
# #<Telebot::User:0x0000000111f688
#  @first_name="Telebot Demo",
#  @id=97445105,
#  @last_name=nil,
#  @username="demoTelebot">

# Send message to chat with id=12345
client.send_message(chat_id: 12345, text: "Hello there!")

The client supports all Telegram's Bot API methods.
