A simple to use library to create Telegram Bots in Java
## Contributions
Feel free to fork this project, work on it and then make a pull request against **DEV** branch. Most of the times I will accept them if they add something valuable to the code.
Please, **DO NOT PUSH ANY TOKEN OR API KEY**, I will never accept a pull request with that content.
## Webhooks vs GetUpdates
Both ways are supported, but I recommend long polling method.
## Usage
Just import add the library to your project with one of these options:
1. Using Maven Central Repository:
```xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.telegram</groupId>
<artifactId>telegrambots</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
</dependency>
```
2. Using Jitpack from [here](https://jitpack.io/#rubenlagus/TelegramBots/v2.4)
3. Download the jar(including all dependencies) from [here](https://github.com/rubenlagus/TelegramBots/releases/tag/v2.4)
In order to use Long Polling mode, just create your own bot extending `org.telegram.telegrambots.bots.TelegramLongPollingBot`.
If you like to use Webhook, extend `org.telegram.telegrambots.bots.TelegramWebhookBot`
Once done, you just need to create a `org.telegram.telegrambots.TelegramBotsApi`and register your bots:
```java
// Example taken from https://github.com/rubenlagus/TelegramBotsExample
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
TelegramBotsApi telegramBotsApi = new TelegramBotsApi();
try {
telegramBotsApi.registerBot(new ChannelHandlers());
telegramBotsApi.registerBot(new DirectionsHandlers());
telegramBotsApi.registerBot(new RaeHandlers());
telegramBotsApi.registerBot(new WeatherHandlers());
telegramBotsApi.registerBot(new TransifexHandlers());
telegramBotsApi.registerBot(new FilesHandlers());
} catch (TelegramApiException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
```
For detailed explanation, visite our [How To](HOWTO.md) (thanks Clevero)
## Example bots
Open them and send them */help* command to get some information about their capabilities:
https://telegram.me/weatherbot (**Use custom keyboards**)
https://telegram.me/directionsbot (**Basic messages**)
https://telegram.me/filesbot (**Send files by file_id**)
https://telegram.me/TGlanguagesbot (**Send files uploding them**)
https://telegram.me/RaeBot (**Inline support**)
https://telegram.me/SnowcrashBot (**Webhook support**)
You can see code for those bots at [TelegramBotsExample](https://github.com/rubenlagus/TelegramBotsExample) project.
