Telegram Bot

Provides an API and a process to build telegram bots on kinode.

Example Usage

First, you need to obtain a bot token from BotFather on telegram. Once you have that, you can clone this repo, run kit b on it to build it, (instructions for installing kit here), and put it's wasm in your package folder as tg.wasm.

Then put tg/src/tg_api.rs somewhere in your app, and make it callable by putting mod tg_api in your code.

You might have to add some dependencies used by the bot to your Cargo.toml:

frankenstein = { version = "0.30", default-features = false, features = ["telegram-trait"] }
url = "2.5.0"

Then, spawning a worker that forwards you updates:

let (api, tg_worker) = tg_api::init_tg_bot(our.clone, "your_token", None)?;
// the third argument is an optional getUpdatesParams, here you can specify if you want specific updates only!

Updates will come in from tg_worker processId with the enum:

pub enum TgResponse {
    Update(TgUpdate),
    Error(String),
}

pub struct TgUpdate {
    pub updates: Vec<Update>,
}

And calling a method like get_chat_member_count:

use frankenstein::{GetChatMemberCountParams, ChatId}
let params = frankenstein::GetChatMemberCountParams {
    chat_id: ChatId::Integer(123)
}
let member_count: u32 = api.get_chat_member_count(&params)?;
