# Telegram Bot Java Library
A simple to use library to create Telegram Bots in Java (Still Beta Version)

## Translations
Bots are now supporting multilanguage. If you want to add your own, feel free to translate at [transifex](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/telegrambots/)

## Contributions
Feel free to fork this project, work on it and then make a pull request. 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 still didn't tested webhooks). To change between them, just go to *BuildVars.java* and change variable *useWebHook* value.

I recommend using getUpdates methods. Webhooks only works using a certificated that is not self-signed

## Example bots
Open them and send them */help* command to get some information about their capabilities:
