Powerful client for Telegram Bot API

Advantages

  1. Lightweight. You could use only two classes for work: API client and response
  2. Powerful. Same time you could use all 16 Bot API types and all 13 Bot API methods
  3. composer support makes installation simplified
  4. Independent namespace helps to use Bot API client on different projects and frameworks
  5. CLI utility helps you to test Bot API interactions

Installation

For simplified usage all what you need is require packet via composer

    $ composer require alxmsl/telegrambotclient

In third-party projects, require packet in your composer.json

    "alxmsl/telegrambotclient": "*"

...and update composer: composer update

Usages

First what you need is client instance. Just create it

    use alxmsl\Telegram\Bot\Client;
    $Client = new Client('123456789:Y0uR5EcREtT0KEn');

....then you could call bot methods directly and got API response string

    $result = $Client->call(<method name>, <call parameters>);
    printf("%s\n", $result);

...or use methods wrappers

    $updates = $Client->getUpdates(0, 1);
    var_dump($updates);

Method wrappers helps you to return specific result types as described in API documentation. For example, using getUpdates you be returned array of Update instances, sendMessage wrapper returns you Message object etc.

    use alxmsl\Telegram\Bot\Client;
    use alxmsl\Telegram\Bot\Type\Message;
    
    $Client  = new Client('123456789:Y0uR5EcREtT0KEn');
    $Message = $Client->sendMessage(34567, 'hello');
    ($Message instanceof Message); // that's TRUE 

When something wrong, wrapper throws UnsuccessfulException. For example code

    $Client = new Client('123456789:Br0KEnT0kEN');
    try {
        $Message = $Client->getMe();
    } catch (UnsuccessfulException $Ex) {
        printf("%s\n%s", $Ex->getCode(), $Ex->getMessage());
    }

is showed you

401
Error: Unauthorized

Console usage

You could use script call.php to call Telegram Bot API directly

    $ php bin/call.php -h
    Using: /usr/local/bin/php bin/call.php [-h|--help] -m|--method [-p|--parameters] -t|--token
    -h, --help  - show help
    -m, --method  - bot method name
    -p, --parameters  - method calls parameters
    -t, --token  - authentication token

Using utility you could test your bot's authentication token

    $ php bin/call.php -t='123456789:Y0uR5EcREtT0KEn' -m='getMe' 
    {"ok":true,"result":{"id":123456789,"first_name":"alxmslClientBot","username":"alxmslClientBot"}}

When something wrong^ utility will show you error response from Bot API

    $ php bin/call.php -t='123456789:Br0KEnT0kEN' -m='getMe' 
    {"ok":false,"error_code":401,"description":"Error: Unauthorized"}

... got updates etc.

    $ php bin/call.php -t='123456789:Y0uR5EcREtT0KEn' -m='getUpdates' -p='{"limit":1}' 
    {"ok":true,"result":[{"update_id":7654321,"message":{"message_id":2,"from":{"id":34567,"first_name":"Alexey","last_name":"Maslov"},"chat":{"id":34567,"first_name":"Alexey","last_name":"Maslov"},"date":1435870467,"text":"\/start"}}]}
