README
PHP Library for Telegram Bot API.
Telegram Bot API
First you must have a Telegram Bot. To do so, just read the documentation on Telegram website.
TL;DR
- Add @BotFather to start conversation.
- Type
/newbot
and @BotFather will ask the name for your bot. - Choose a cool name, for example
The Cool Bot
and hit enter. - Now choose a username for your bot. It must end in bot, for example
CoolBot
orCool_Bot
. - If succeed, @BotFather will give you API key to be used in this library.
Installation
The easiest way to install is using Composer.
composer require matriphe/telegrambot

<?php require('../vendor/autoload.php'); $apikey = '<fill_your_api_key_here>'; $chat_id = '<user_or_group_id>'; $telegram = new \Matriphe\Telegrambot\Telegrambot($apikey); // Get bot info $getme = $telegram->getMe(); var_dump($getme); // Get bot messages received by bot. See user_id from here. $updates = $telegram->getUpdates(); var_dump($updates); // Send message to user. $message = $telegram->sendMessage([ 'chat_id' => $chat_id, 'text' => 'Today is '.date('Y-m-d H:i:s') ]); var_dump($message); // Upload file, use fopen function. $filepath = '/home/matriphe/photo.jpg'; $photo = $telegram->sendPhoto([ 'chat_id' => $chat_id, 'photo' => fopen($filepath, 'rb'), 'caption' => 'The caption goes here!' ]); var_dump($photo);
