A zero-dependency Go framework for building Telegram bots, supporting the latest Bot API version with both long-polling and webhook modes. It provides typed API methods, update handlers, and options for timeouts and webhook secret tokens.

Use cases

• build a telegram bot in go
• create an echo bot that replies to messages
• handle telegram updates with custom handlers
• run a telegram bot with webhooks
• send messages via the telegram bot api
• integrate a telegram bot into an existing go service

When to choose

• you want a pure-Go Telegram bot library with no external dependencies
• you need support for the latest Telegram Bot API version
• you want both long-polling and webhook support out of the box
• you prefer typed parameters and idiomatic Go handler patterns

When to avoid

• you need a bot framework for platforms other than Telegram
• you want a batteries-included bot framework with built-in NLU or conversation flows
• your project is not written in Go
