Installing

Install via pip:

pip install tgcli

Rationale

A similar project, built on Python, was created by @vysheng, but it has not been updated since 2016 and considered abandoned. This tool is not a fork of the mentioned project, it is built from ground up.

Example

For now, the use case is pretty simple. To send a message:

tgcli bot --token "BotToken" send --receiver "UserID" message "Your message"

You don't need to expose your token as flag. If you set TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN environment variable, you do not need to set --token flag. Just set it before using tgcli:

export TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN="BotToken"

You can get more information by doing:

tgcli bot send --help

Also, this repository uses notification from a private bot, you can see the example Travis configuration here. Private TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN and TELEGRAM_RECEIVER environment variables were set.

This application serves a really small purpose for now. It might face breaking changes in the future.

Documentation

Documentation has an intensive amount of information about how to use tgcli. Refer to the documentation.
