Telebot is a Node.js library that wraps the Telegram Bot API, letting developers create Telegram bots with a simple, promise-based interface. It supports both polling and webhooks, full Bot API coverage including payments, and an extensible plugin and event system.

Use cases

  • build a telegram bot in node.js
  • create a telegram bot with javascript
  • handle telegram bot updates via webhook
  • make a telegram bot that answers commands
  • add payments to a telegram bot
  • extend a telegram bot with plugins
  • simple telegram bot api wrapper for node

When to choose

  • You want a lightweight, promise-based Node.js wrapper that covers the full Telegram Bot API, including payments
  • You want to get a bot running quickly with polling or webhook support and minimal boilerplate
  • You want to organize bot logic with an event system and share behavior via plugins

When to avoid

  • You need a framework with heavy ongoing development, frequent releases, or long-term guarantees - activity is low and a 2.0 rewrite has been in progress for a long time
  • Your project is not on Node.js/JavaScript
  • You need advanced built-in bot patterns such as conversation scenes, wizards, or state management without building them yourself
