API

TARS.configure: This configuration block allow you to specify your bot settings. Options are:

• token: This is your bot token, keep it private. To obtain your bot token you should talk to the @botFather and register your bot.

• webhook: The URL that telegram will use to send you update each time your bot receive a message. This URL should point to this bot server where you run TARS. It's should be in HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. See How to run TARS behind Nginx below for more information about configuring SSL.

• server.port: The port of the local TARS server. This can be anything if you don't want to use TARS behind a reverse proxy. However it should be a valid port handled by Telegram Bot API (Currently 80, 443, 8443)

• server.path: The prefix of the URL to access TARS server. This could be anything

Note: The server Hash can contain any WEBrick params so you can set SSL directly with TARS. See How to run TARS with WEBrick and SSL for more informations.
