The base for all our operations is the [telegram bot api documentations](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api) . This 220 kB monster of a website will tell us almost everything we need to know about how to use the api.
It is split into multiple sections. We can ignore the sections *Authorizing your bot", "Making Requests" and "Getting Updates". These things are done for us by the library.
So, let's see how we can send a poll for example. First, lets take a look at the *Available Methods*. It already gives us a bunch of send methods
One of them sticks out to us. *sendPoll* looks promising, and when we take a look at the description
`Use this method to send a native poll. On success, the sent Message is returned`
That looks like the thing we need. So let's see what we need to send it

So as we can see, we need to set 3 things. The id of the chat we want to send it to, a question as a string and an Array of Strings.
This will result in an anonymous regular type poll without mutliselection looking like this when sent:

We can customize a bunch of other things like create quizzes, send closed polls or reply to a certain message. Now, how is this api object mapped in the library? How *do* we create a poll?
Pretty straight forward. We take our libary, look for the "Go To Class" or "SearchClass" option and type in the name of the Method we are looking for. This will quickly yield a "SendPoll" method.
**Every** Method, listed under *Available Methods* has such a Class. And if we go ahead and scroll down a bit we find a set of fields for the class
This is a lot at first glance, but if we remember back at the table from the documentation, everything is there. We have the 3 required fields on top (chatId, question and the list of options and everything) else below
