api.sendMessage({ chat_id: 1, text: 'test' }, function (err, message) {
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log(message);
});

api.sendPhoto({ chat_id: 1, photo: fs.createReadStream(__dirname + '/test.jpg') }, function (err, message) {
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log(message);
});

Using 'invoke'

The library contains an invoke call that can be used to call any API method even before it's been implemented as part of the library interface. All library calls wrap this call and serve mostly as a convenience.

var TelegramBot = require('telegrambot');
var fs = require('fs');

var api = new TelegramBot('<YOUR TOKEN HERE>');

api.invoke('getMe', {}, function (err, me) {
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log(me);
});
