Getting started.

Creating a bot

You must create a bot and get a token

Testing your bot's auth token

We use the method getMe:

>>> from telegrambotapiwrapper import Api
>>> first_bot_api = Api(token="<paste your token here>")
>>> me = first_bot_api.get_me()
>>> me
User(id=123456679, is_bot=True, first_name='botbotbot', last_name=None, username='myrudatingposterbot', language_code=None)

Check result type:

>>> from telegrambotapiwrapper.typelib import User
>>> isinstance(me, User)
True
