C++ library for Telegram bot API.
Documentation is located here.
Simple echo bot which sends everything it receives:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <tgbot/tgbot.h>
int main() {
TgBot::Bot bot("PLACE YOUR TOKEN HERE");
bot.getEvents().onCommand("start", [&bot](TgBot::Message::Ptr message) {
bot.getApi().sendMessage(message->chat->id, "Hi!");
});
bot.getEvents().onAnyMessage([&bot](TgBot::Message::Ptr message) {
printf("User wrote %s\n", message->text.c_str());
if (StringTools::startsWith(message->text, "/start")) {
return;
}
bot.getApi().sendMessage(message->chat->id, "Your message is: " + message->text);
});
try {
printf("Bot username: %s\n", bot.getApi().getMe()->username.c_str());
TgBot::TgLongPoll longPoll(bot);
while (true) {
printf("Long poll started\n");
longPoll.start();
}
} catch (TgBot::TgException& e) {
printf("error: %s\n", e.what());
}
return 0;
}

Dependencies:
CurlHttpClient
).You can install dependencies on Debian-based distibutives with these commands:
sudo apt install g++ make binutils cmake libboost-system-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
Optionally, install the dependencies for testing and documenting
sudo apt install libboost-test-dev doxygen
You can compile and install the library with these commands:
git clone https://github.com/reo7sp/tgbot-cpp
cd tgbot-cpp
cmake .
make -j4
sudo make install
Alternatively, you can use Docker to build and run your bot. Set the base image of your's Dockerfile to reo7sp/tgbot-cpp.
You can install dependencies with these commands:
brew install gcc cmake boost openssl zlib curl
You can compile and install the library like Linux instructions.
Taken from Vcpkg - Quick Start: Windows.
Prerequisites:
First, download and bootstrap vcpkg itself; it can be installed anywhere, but generally we recommend using vcpkg as a submodule for CMake projects, and installing it globally for Visual Studio projects. We recommend somewhere like C:\src\vcpkg
or C:\dev\vcpkg
, since otherwise you may run into path issues for some port build systems.
> git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg
> .\vcpkg\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
In order to use vcpkg with Visual Studio, run the following command (may require administrator elevation):
> .\vcpkg\vcpkg integrate install
To install the libraries for Windows x64, run:
> .\vcpkg\vcpkg install tgbot-cpp:x64-windows
To install for Windows x86, run:
> .\vcpkg\vcpkg install tgbot-cpp
The library will now be installed and Visual Studio should be able to find the vcpkg installation.
Use the example CMakeLists.txt with changes:
/usr/local/include
/usr/local/lib/libTgBot.a
to C:/src/vcpkg/installed/x64-windows/lib/TgBot.lib
or something simmilar according to your own installation path.Also, you can treat this repository as a submodule of your project, for example, see echobot-submodule.
