DESCRIPTION

Net::API::Telegram is a powerful and yet simple interface to Telegram Bot api.

Net::API::Telegram inherits from Module::Generic and all its module excepted for Net::API::Telegram::Generic and Net::API::Telegram::Number are auto generated based on Telegram api online documentation.

CORE METHODS

new( [ TOKEN ], %PARAMETERS )

This initiate a Net::API::Telegram object as an accessor to all the core methods and api methods.

It can take the following parameters:

browser

This is the name of the browser our http agent will take as identity when communicating with the Telegram api.

BY default, it looks like DEGUEST_Bot/0.1

conf_file

This is an optional configuration file in json format that contains properties. For example, it can contain the property token to avoid passing it as argument.

cookie_file

This takes a cookie file path. By default it is empty. The Telegram api does not send cookie, so it should not be needed.

debug

Defaults to 0 (false). Can be set to any digit. The higher, the more debug output.

encode_with_json

Can be true or false. Defaults to false.

If true, Net::API::Telegram will encode data in json format and send it to the server rather than using the url-encoded format.

host

This is the host to set up the webhook. It will be provided as part of the uri our HTTP::Daemon server listens to. The path is randomly generated to ensure some level of security.

port

This is the host to set up the webhook.

ssl_cert

Pass to the ssl certificate. This is used to run the ssl http server and to be sent to Telegram.

This parameter is necessary only under ssl with the use_ssl.

If the server is run on a host with certificate signed by a proper authority like Let's Encrypt, the certificate does not need to be sent to Telegram.

To create a ssl key and certificate, you can use the following command:

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365 -nodes -subj "/C=JP/ST=Tokyo/L=Tokyo/O=Deguest Pte. Ltd./OU=Org/CN=www.example.jp"

Ref: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10175812/how-to-create-a-self-signed-certificate-with-openssl

ssl_key

Path to the ssl key. This is used to run the ssl http server.

This parameter is necessary only under ssl with the use_ssl.

timeout

The timeout in second when making http requests. It defaults to 5 seconds.

token

This is a required item. It can be provided either the first parameter of the new() method or as a hash parameter. Example:

my $t = Net::API::Telegram->new( '123456:ABC-DEF1234ghIkl-zyx57W2v1u123ew11', debug => 3, webhook => 1 );

## or

my $t = Net::API::Telegram->new( 'token' => '123456:ABC-DEF1234ghIkl-zyx57W2v1u123ew11', debug => 3, webhook => 1 );

use_ssl

Can be true or false. If true, the server launched to handle the webhook will run under ssl. Please note that Telegram only accepts webhooks that run under ssl.

verbose

Defaults to 0 (false).

webhook

Either true or false. If true, this will initiate the web token and automatically declare it to the Telegram server. It defaults to false.

agent()

It returns a LWP::UserAgent object which is used to make http calls to Telegram api.

api_uri()

This returns the uri of the api for our bot. It would be something like: https://api.telegram.org/bot123456:ABC-DEF1234ghIkl-zyx57W2v1u123ew11

data2json( JSON )

Given a json data this returns an equivalent structure in perl, so a hash reference.

debug( TRUE | FALSE )

Set or get the debug value, which is an integer. 0 deactivate debug mode and a number greater than 0 activates it. The greater the number, the more debug output.

error( ERROR )

Sets or get an error. When making calls to methods under this package and package children, if the return value is undef(), then it means an error has been set and can be retrieved with $t-error>

The error retrieved is a Net::API::Telegram::Error object that has the following properties:

type: This is the type of error, if any. It could be empty.
code: This is the error code using the http standard.
message: This is the error message.
file: The file from which the error came from.
line: The line at which the error was triggered.
package: The perl module name from which the error occurred.
sub: The subroutine that triggered the error.
trace: This is a Devel::StackTrace which can be stringified. This provides the full stack trace of the error.
retry_after: This is optional, and represents the number of seconds to wait until the next attempt. This is provided as a response by the Telegram api.

generate_uuid()

This will generate a new uuid using Data::UUID.

launch_daemon()

This will prepare a new http daemon to listen for the webhook

port( INTEGER )

This sets the port that will be used by HTTP::Daemon to listen for webhooks.

The only acceptable ports, as per Telegram Bot API documentation, are: 443, 80, 88, 8443.

It returns the current value set, if any.

Ref: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#setwebhook

query( { PARAMETERS } )

This takes an hash reference as parameters, and issues a http post request to Telegram api. If successful, it returns a hash reference of the data returned by Telegram api, otherwise it returns undef() upon an error.

start()

This will start processing requests received by the bot.

If the webhook option was set, this will start the http daemon, as prepared with the launch_daemon() method.

Otherwise, this will probe indefinitely, in a loop, the Telegram server using the api method getUpdates()

It will receive json data from Telegram in the form of a Net::API::Telegram::Update object.

Ref: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#update

verbose( [ TRUE | FALSE ] )

This sets or get the value of verbose.

webhook( [ TRUE | FALSE ] )

This sets the boolean flag for the option webhook. If set to true, this will call the launch_daemon() method. It will also create a randomly generated path which can be retrieved using the webhook_path method.

webhook_path()

Returns the webhook path randomly generated. If webhook has not been activated this will return an empty string.
