A simple to use library to create Telegram Bots in Java

Feel free to fork this project, work on it and then make a pull request against DEV branch. Most of the times I will accept them if they add something valuable to the code.

Please, DO NOT PUSH ANY TOKEN OR API KEY, I will never accept a pull request with that content.

Both ways are supported, but I recommend long polling method.

Just import add the library to your project using Maven, Gradle, ... or download the jar(including all dependencies) from here

In order to use Long Polling mode, just create your own bot extending org.telegram.telegrambots.bots.TelegramLongPollingBot.

If you like to use Webhook, extend org.telegram.telegrambots.bots.TelegramWebhookBot

Once done, you just need to create a org.telegram.telegrambots.TelegramBotsApiand register your bots:

    // Example taken from https://github.com/rubenlagus/TelegramBotsExample
    public class Main {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
    
            TelegramBotsApi telegramBotsApi = new TelegramBotsApi();
            try {
                telegramBotsApi.registerBot(new ChannelHandlers());
                telegramBotsApi.registerBot(new DirectionsHandlers());
                telegramBotsApi.registerBot(new RaeHandlers());
                telegramBotsApi.registerBot(new WeatherHandlers());
                telegramBotsApi.registerBot(new TransifexHandlers());
                telegramBotsApi.registerBot(new FilesHandlers());
            } catch (TelegramApiException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }

Open them and send them /help command to get some information about their capabilities:

https://telegram.me/weatherbot (Use custom keyboards)

https://telegram.me/directionsbot (Basic messages)

https://telegram.me/filesbot (Send files by file_id)

https://telegram.me/TGlanguagesbot (Send files uploding them)

https://telegram.me/RaeBot (Inline support)

https://telegram.me/SnowcrashBot (Webhook support)

You can see code for those bots at TelegramBotsExample project.
