Node.js Moves Toward Stable TypeScript Support with Amaro 1.0
Amaro 1.0 lays the groundwork for stable TypeScript support in Node.js, bringing official .ts loading closer to reality.
This is a simple and lightweight Ruby API for Telegram Bots.
With this tiny library you can create awesome Telegram Bot!
sudo gem install telegramAPI
Import the library in your script with:
require 'telegramAPI'
Obtain a token, if you haven't yet, talking with @BotFather
To test your access token, you can use the getMe method
require 'telegramAPI'
token = "******"
api = TelegramAPI.new(token)
bot = api.getMe()
puts "I'm bot #{bot['first_name']} with id #{bot['id']}"
puts "But you can call me @#{bot['username']}"
There are two ways of getting updates from Telegram. The first one is the simpliest, but less powerful: getUpdates
require 'telegramAPI'
token = "******"
api = TelegramAPI.new(token)
while true do
updates = api.getUpdates({"timeout"=>180})
updates.each do |update|
usr = update['message']['chat']['username'] || "unknown"
puts "Received update from @#{usr}"
end
end
Using setWebhook is not so complicated, but you need a web server with https support enabled (for example: Openshift or Heroku)
In the example below I will use Sinatra framework for the Web Server.
require 'telegramAPI'
require 'sinatra'
require 'json'
token = "******"
api = TelegramAPI.new token
post "/#{token}" do
status 200
# Get Telegram Data
request.body.rewind
data = JSON.parse(request.body.read)
# Output data on stdout
p data
# Return an empty json, to say "ok" to Telegram
"{}"
end
r = api.setWebhook("https://YOUR_URL/#{token}").to_json
puts "setWebhook Result: #{r}"
You can use the Telegram official documentation
Every method has a optional parameter. See the Send Custom Keyboard example for more.

unbanChatMember(chat_id, user_id)
getChat(chat_id)
getChatAdministrators(chat_id)
getChatMembersCount(chat_id)
getChatMember(chat_id, user_id)
token = "******"
api = TelegramAPI.new token
while true do
# Get last messages if there are, or wait 180 seconds for new messages
u=api.getUpdates({"timeout"=>180})
u.each do |m|
api.sendMessage(m['message']['chat']['id'], m['message']['text'])
end
end
api.sendSticker m['message']['chat']['id'], sticker_id
api.sendPhoto m['message']['chat']['id'], "/home/path-of-image/image.jpg"
api.sendDocument m['message']['chat']['id'], "/home/path-of-document/doc.gif"
api.sendAudio m['message']['chat']['id'], "/home/path-of-audio/audio.opus"
api.sendVideo m['message']['chat']['id'], "/home/path-of-video/video.mp4"
api.sendLocation m['message']['chat']['id'], 45.462781, 9.177732
Note: According to Telegram, each audio must be encoded in Ogg OPUS, and each video must be encoded in mp4.
You can find the complete list of options at the offical Telegram API Bots page.

api.sendMessage m['message']['chat']['id'], "Am I sexy?", {"reply_markup"=>markup}
while true do
updates = api.getUpdates({:timeout=>180})
updates.each do |u|
if(u['inline_query']!=nil) then
r = api.answerInlineQuery(u['inline_query']['id'], [
