## What it is
A Ruby gem that wraps Telegram's Bot API, exposing all API methods and message objects in idiomatic Ruby. It supports long polling, webhooks, test environments, and proxy configuration for building Telegram bots.

## Use cases
- build a telegram bot in ruby
- send messages from a ruby app to telegram
- handle telegram bot commands like /start
- listen for telegram updates with long polling
- set up a telegram bot behind a proxy
- run a telegram bot in test mode during development

## When to choose
- you're building a Telegram bot in Ruby and want a thin, idiomatic wrapper over the official Bot API
- you need long polling with graceful shutdown or webhook support
- you're in a region where Telegram is blocked and need proxy/SOCKS5 support

## When to avoid
- you need a full bot framework with routing, middleware, or conversation flows rather than a raw API wrapper
- you're building bots in another language
- you need Telegram client (user account) features rather than bot API features

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: sdk, http-client, chatbot
- domain: messaging-platforms, chatbots, developer-tools
- platform: ruby, cross-platform
- tags: telegram-bot-api, bot-framework, long-polling, webhooks, messaging, automation
