## What it is
A TypeScript monorepo of API client libraries for building chatbots across multiple messaging platforms including Messenger, LINE, Slack, Telegram, Viber, and WeChat. It provides a unified, learn-once API surface for sending messages and interacting with platform APIs, and underpins the Bottender bot framework.

## Use cases
- send messages to telegram from nodejs
- build a line chatbot in typescript
- unified api client for multiple messaging platforms
- integrate facebook messenger bot api
- send slack messages programmatically
- cross-platform bot development library

## When to choose
- you need low-level API clients for several messaging platforms with a consistent interface
- you want to build a custom bot framework or use Bottender
- your stack is Node.js/TypeScript

## When to avoid
- you need a full bot framework with conversation state and middleware out of the box
- you need a platform not covered (e.g. WhatsApp, Discord)
- you need actively developed features - releases have slowed since 2023

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: http-client, sdk, chatbot
- domain: messaging-platforms, chatbots, developer-tools, apis
