telegramBotPhp
==============

[](#telegrambotphp)

Lightweight PHP 8.1+ wrapper for the **Telegram Bot API** — zero runtime dependencies, full coverage of every current API method (186 bot methods) and every response/entity type (199 types).

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP >= 8.1
- cURL extension (`ext-curl`)
- JSON extension (`ext-json`)
- Composer

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require alirezax5/telegram-bot-php
```

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

```
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use telegramBotApiPhp\Telegram;

// Long polling
$bot = new Telegram($_ENV['TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN']);

$updates = $bot->getUpdates(0, 100, 50);       // offset, limit, long-poll timeout (s)
foreach ($updates->result as $u) {
    $bot->setInputData($u);
    $chatId = $bot->chatId();
    $text   = $bot->text();

    if ($text === '/start') {
        $bot->sendMessage($chatId, 'Welcome!');
    }
}

// Webhook mode
$update = $bot->getInputData();                   // decodes php://input
if ($bot->isMessage()) {
    $bot->sendMessage($chatId, $bot->text());
}
```

```

`Telegram` pulls in all domain traits via the `method` aggregator trait. All API methods return a typed `returned*` (response) object built by `BaseType::create()`.
