Botasis Telegram Bot API Client
===============================

[](#botasis-telegram-bot-api-client)

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

**Botasis** offers a lightweight and strictly PSR-compliant implementation of the [Telegram Bot API](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api). Designed for developers seeking a robust and advanced bot SDK, **Botasis** simplifies the creation and management of Telegram bots.

Explore our advanced SDK at [botasis/runtime](https://github.com/botasis/runtime) and access a ready-to-deploy application template at [botasis/bot-template](https://github.com/botasis/bot-template).

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

[](#quick-start)

Ensure you have [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md) installed and a bot token from [BotFather](https://core.telegram.org/bots/features#creating-a-new-bot).

### Setup

[](#setup)

1. **Install the Package:**

    ```
    composer require botasis/telegram-client
    ```
2. **Install PSR HTTP Client and Message Factory:**If you don't have preferences, use:

    ```
    composer require httpsoft/http-message php-http/socket-client
    ```
3. **Create an API Client Instance:**Either use your DI container or manually instantiate:

    ```
    $streamFactory = new \HttpSoft\Message\StreamFactory();
    $client = new \Botasis\Client\Telegram\Client\ClientPsr(
        getenv('BOT_TOKEN'),
        new \Http\Client\Socket\Client(),
        new \HttpSoft\Message\RequestFactory(),
        $streamFactory,
        new \Http\Message\MultipartStream\MultipartStreamBuilder($streamFactory),
    );
    ```
4. **Send a Request:**Example to send a "Hello" message:

    ```
    $response = $client->send(new \Botasis\Client\Telegram\Request\TelegramRequest(
        'sendMessage', // any telegram bot api method you like
        // data to send
        [
            'text' => 'Hello Botasis!',
            'chat_id' => $chatId,
        ]
    ));
    ```

    `$response` will contain the Telegram Bot API response data. Refer to the [API specification](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api) for details.

Feature Highlights
------------------

[](#feature-highlights)

### Method-Specific Request Classes

[](#method-specific-request-classes)

Utilize strictly-typed classes for API requests. For instance:

```
$requestTyped = new \Botasis\Client\Telegram\Request\Message\Message(
    'Hello *Botasis*\!', // be sure you correctly escape special characters when use Markdown message format
    \Botasis\Client\Telegram\Request\Message\MessageFormat::MARKDOWN,
    $chatId,
);

// This is equal, but not strictly typed request:
$requestGeneric = new \Botasis\Client\Telegram\Request\TelegramRequest(
        'sendMessage',
        [
            'text' => 'Hello *Botasis*\!',
            'chat_id' => $chatId,
            'parse_mode' => 'MarkdownV2',
        ]
    )
```

### Extending Functionality

[](#extending-functionality)

Missing a method-specific request class? Extend the library:

- **Contribute**: Submit a PR with your implementation.
- **Fallback**: Use the generic `TelegramRequest` class.

This approach ensures immediate adaptability to any Telegram API updates.
