# Golang bindings for the Telegram Bot API
[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/go-telegram-bot-api/telegram-bot-api?status.svg)](http://godoc.org/github.com/go-telegram-bot-api/telegram-bot-api)

All methods are fairly self explanatory, and reading the [godoc](http://godoc.org/github.com/go-telegram-bot-api/telegram-bot-api) page should
explain everything. If something isn't clear, open an issue or submit
a pull request.
The scope of this project is just to provide a wrapper around the API
without any additional features. There are other projects for creating
something with plugins and command handlers without having to design
all that yourself.

## Example
First, ensure the library is installed and up to date by running
`go get -u github.com/go-telegram-bot-api/telegram-bot-api`.
This is a very simple bot that just displays any gotten updates,
then replies it to that chat.
```go
package main
import (
"log"
"github.com/go-telegram-bot-api/telegram-bot-api"
)
func main() {
bot, err := tgbotapi.NewBotAPI("MyAwesomeBotToken")
if err != nil {
log.Panic(err)
}
bot.Debug = true
log.Printf("Authorized on account %s", bot.Self.UserName)
u := tgbotapi.NewUpdate(0)
u.Timeout = 60
updates, err := bot.GetUpdatesChan(u)
for update := range updates {
if update.Message == nil { // ignore any non-Message Updates
continue
}
log.Printf("[%s] %s", update.Message.From.UserName, update.Message.Text)
msg := tgbotapi.NewMessage(update.Message.Chat.ID, update.Message.Text)
msg.ReplyToMessageID = update.Message.MessageID
bot.Send(msg)
}
}
```
There are more examples on the [site](https://go-telegram-bot-api.github.io/)
with detailed information on how to do many different kinds of things.
It's a great place to get started on using keyboards, commands, or other
kinds of reply markup.
