Telegram Bot API Client for PHP

A lightweight, object-oriented PHP wrapper for the Telegram Bot API, with full support for all available methods and types. For details on each method and its parameters, refer to the official Telegram Bot API documentation.

Installation

$ composer require luzrain/telegram-bot-api

Bot API

The Telegram Bot Client is not tied to Guzzle or any specific HTTP client.
It relies on the PSR-18 HTTP client and PSR-17 HTTP Factories abstractions.

Note

Using named parameters is recommended, since parameter order and counts can vary between releases.

Example Initializing the BotApi with Guzzle HTTP Client

use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use GuzzleHttp\Psr7\HttpFactory;
use Luzrain\TelegramBotApi\BotApi;

$httpFactory = new HttpFactory();
$httpClient = new Client(['http_errors' => false]);

$bot = new BotApi(
    requestFactory: $httpFactory,
    streamFactory: $httpFactory,
    client: $httpClient,
    token: 'API_TOKEN',
);

Send Message

use Luzrain\TelegramBotApi\Method;
use Luzrain\TelegramBotApi\Type;

/**
 * @var Type\Message $response
 */
$response = $bot->call(new Method\SendMessage(
    chatId: 123456789,
    text: 'Example text',
));

Send Message with Reply Keyboard

use Luzrain\TelegramBotApi\Method;
use Luzrain\TelegramBotApi\Type;

$replyKeyboard = new Type\ReplyKeyboardMarkup(
    oneTimeKeyboard: true,
    resizeKeyboard: true,
    keyboard: Type\KeyboardButtonArrayBuilder::create()
        ->addButton(new Type\KeyboardButton(text: 'Button 1'))
        ->addButton(new Type\KeyboardButton(text: 'Button 2'))
        ->addBreak()
        ->addButton(new Type\KeyboardButton(text: 'Web App', webApp: new Type\WebAppInfo('https://github.com/')))
        ->addButton(new Type\KeyboardButton(text: 'Create Poll', requestPoll: new Type\KeyboardButtonPollType())),
);

// For keyboard remove
// $replyKeyboard = new Type\ReplyKeyboardRemove();

/**
 * @var Type\Message $response
 */
$response = $bot->call(new Method\SendMessage(
    chatId: 123456789,
    text: 'Example text',
    replyMarkup: $replyKeyboard,
));

Send Message with Inline Keyboard

use Luzrain\TelegramBotApi\Method;
use Luzrain\TelegramBotApi\Type;

    inlineKeyboard: Type\InlineKeyboardButtonArrayBuilder::create()
        ->addButton(new Type\InlineKeyboardButton(text: 'Url button', url: 'https://google.com'))
        ->addButton(new Type\InlineKeyboardButton(text: 'Callback button', callbackData: 'callback_data'))
        ->addBreak()
        ->addButton(new Type\InlineKeyboardButton(text: 'Iinline query', switchInlineQueryCurrentChat: 'test')),
);

/**
 * @var Type\Message $response

$response = $bot->call(new Method\SendMessage(
    chatId: 123456789,
    text: 'Example text',
    replyMarkup: $inlineKeyboard ,
));

    chatId: 123456789,
    photo: new Type\InputFile('/home/user/img/15311661465960.jpg'),
));

/**

$response = $bot->call(new Method\SendPhoto(
