## What it is
A runtime-agnostic TypeScript client library for the Telegram Bot API, supporting Node.js, Bun, Deno, Cloudflare Workers, and Vercel Functions. Version 2 is a from-scratch redesign with koa-style middleware, typed API methods, and fluent keyboard builders.

## Use cases
- build a telegram bot in nodejs
- handle telegram inline keyboard callbacks
- send telegram messages from a cloudflare worker
- add middleware to telegram bot update handling
- create a telegram echo bot
- call telegram bot api methods from typescript

## When to choose
- you want a modern, typed Telegram Bot API client for Node.js or edge runtimes
- you prefer middleware-based bot frameworks with command and regex filters
- you need to deploy a Telegram bot to serverless or edge environments

## When to avoid
- you rely on the v1 API, since v2 is not backward compatible
- you need a framework for platforms other than Telegram
- you want a batteries-included bot hosting service rather than a library

## Facets
- artifact type: library
