Node.js module to interact with official [Telegram Bot API](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api). A bot token is needed, to obtain one, talk to [@botfather](https://telegram.me/BotFather) and create a new bot.
**Installation:**
```sh
npm install node-telegram-bot-api
```
**Sample Usage:**
```js
var TelegramBot = require('node-telegram-bot-api');
// replace the value below with the Telegram token you receive from @BotFather
var token = 'YOUR_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN';
// Create a bot that uses 'polling' to fetch new updates
var bot = new TelegramBot(token, { polling: true });
// Matches "/echo [whatever]"
bot.onText(/\/echo (.+)/, function (msg, match) {
// 'msg' is the received Message from Telegram
// 'match' is the result of executing the regexp above on the text content
// of the message
var chatId = msg.chat.id;
var resp = match[1]; // the captured "whatever"
// send back the matched "whatever" to the chat
bot.sendMessage(chatId, resp);
});
// Listen for any kind of message. There are different kinds of
// messages.
bot.on('message', function (msg) {
var chatId = msg.chat.id;
// send a message to the chat acknowledging receipt of their message
bot.sendMessage(chatId, "Received your message");
});
```
