# telegram.sh, a telegram bot api library in bash
|
|
|
|
This library aims to make creating quick-and-dirty bots in Bash as easy
|
|
as possible. To create a basic bot, all you need is the following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
source tg.sh
|
|
TELEGRAM_TOKEN="<token>"
|
|
|
|
function _on_msg() {
|
|
echo "${event[from_username]}: ${event[text]}"
|
|
|
|
if [[ "${event[text]}" == "o/" ]]; then
|
|
tg_send ${event[chat_id]} "$(_escape '\o')"
|
|
fi
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
tg_start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Please note how you need to *escape* the text if there are any characters
|
|
which would conflict with the MarkdownV2 standard. If you wish to use MD
|
|
styling, the `tg_send` call could look like that:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
tg_send ${event[chat_id]} "[$(_escape "^_^")]($(_escape "https://example.org"))"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, if you decide that you don't want to run `_escape` on every
|
|
string, set `ESCAPE_ALL` to `true` after loading the library.
