  $ composer require sysbot/tgscraper-cache

Using from command line

Once installed, you can use the CLI to interact with the library.

For basic help and command list:

  $ vendor/bin/tgscraper help

JSON

Extract the latest schema in a human-readable JSON:

  $ vendor/bin/tgscraper app:export-schema --readable botapi.json

Or, if you want a Postman-compatible JSON (thanks to davtur19):

  $ vendor/bin/tgscraper app:export-schema --postman botapi_postman.json

YAML

Extract the latest schema in YAML format:

  $ vendor/bin/tgscraper app:export-schema --yaml botapi.yaml

OpenAPI

Extract the latest OpenAPI schema in JSON format:

  $ vendor/bin/tgscraper app:export-schema --openapi botapi_openapi.json

Or, if you prefer YAML:

  $ vendor/bin/tgscraper app:export-schema --openapi --yaml botapi_openapi.yaml

Stubs

Note: since Telegram may change the page format at any time, do NOT rely on the automagically generated stubs from this library, ALWAYS review the code!

TGScraper can also generate class stubs that you can use in your library. A sample implementation is available in the Sysbot Telegram module.

Create stubs in the out/ directory using Sysbot\Telegram as namespace prefix:

  $ vendor/bin/tgscraper app:create-stubs --namespace-prefix "Sysbot\Telegram" out

Custom format

If you're interested in the custom format generated by TGScraper, you can find its schema here.
