C++ library for Telegram bot API.
Documentation is located here.
The largest fork of this library is https://github.com/foxcpp/tgbot-cpp. There is a development of payment and video notes APIs and more.
Firstly you need to install some dependencies such as Boost and build tools such as CMake. On Debian-based distibutives you can do it with these commands:
sudo apt-get install g++ make binutils cmake libssl-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-iostreams-devTo compile the library execute this commands:
cd /path/where/you/have/cloned/the/library/repository
cmake .
make -j4
sudo make installg++ telegram_bot.cpp -o telegram_bot --std=c++11 -I/usr/local/include -lTgBot -lboost_system -lboost_iostreams -lssl -lcrypto -lpthreadYou can use Docker to build and run your bot. Set the base image of your's Dockerfile to reo7sp/tgbot-cpp.
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;

Created for compability with visual studio 2015-2017.
Configure project like (change path to your boost root/libs directory)
cmake . -DBOOST_ROOT="D:\boost\boost_1_59_0" -DBoost_LIBRARY_DIRS="D:\boost\boost_1_59_0\x86_64\lib"
