autogram 3.5.0

An easily extensible telegram API wrapper

Installation ::

pip install autogram Autogram is a telegram-BOT API wrapper written in python3, with a keen focus on remaining stupidly simple.

Why AutoGram?

The name implies automated-telegram. I needed a framework that is easy and intuitive to work with.

Usage

from autogram import Autogram
from autogram.config import load_config, Start

#-- handle private dm
@Autogram.add('message')
def message(bot, update):
    print('message:', update)

#-- handle callback queries
@Autogram.add('callback_query')
def callback_query(bot, update):
    print('callback_query:', update)

#***************************** <start>
@Start(config_file='web-auto.json')
def main(config):
    bot = Autogram(config)
    bot.run() # every call fetches updates, and updates internal offset
#-- </start>

You should implement a loop over bot.run() to fetch updates inside your application. This makes the timing arbitrary, depending on where the program is expected to run. i.e offline gadgets that do not have consistent internet to use a webhook, or a server(with all the incredible webhook features using public IP/ngrok or custom domain name and a possibility of a HTTPS nginx endpoint).

Project TODOs

• Tests.
• Add webhook support.
• Plans to cover the entire telegram API methods.

footnotes

• Polling is the default getUpdates() method.
• Don't run multiple bots with the same TOKEN as this will cause update problems
• Sending unescaped special characters when using MarkdownV2 will return HTTP400
• Have fun with whatever you're building ;)
