Snapshot taken 2026-07-21. Notable shape change: ReplyParameters.MessageID becomes optional (*int64) because Bot API 10.2 allows a reply to target ephemeral_message_id instead. This breaks callers that set MessageID by value, so examples/echo passes the address now. New surface includes the ephemeral message methods, sendRichMessage with InputRichMessageMedia, and the Community service messages.
Examples
Each subdirectory contains a self-contained sample bot demonstrating one feature area.
| Example | What it shows |
|---|---|
| echo | Long-poll bot that echoes text back to the sender |
| webhook | Webhook delivery with secret-token verification |
| callback | Inline keyboard with callback queries and counter state |
| conversation | Multi-step conversation flow with dispatch/conversation |
| files | Upload and download files via api.DownloadFile |
| inline | Inline-mode bot returning search-style results |
| middleware | Custom middleware chains via Router.Use |
| stateful | Per-user state managed via closures |
| welcome | Greet new chat members; detect and log departures |
| moderation | /kick, /ban, /mute, /warn with admin permission checks |
| polls | Create polls and tally answers via OnPollAnswer |
| payments | Telegram Payments: sendInvoice → pre_checkout_query → successful_payment |
| pagination | Multi-page inline keyboard with stateless prev/next navigation |
| admin | Auth middleware allowlisting specific user IDs via Router.Use |
Running
All examples follow the same pattern:
export TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=123456:ABC...
go run ./examples/<name>
Webhook examples need a public HTTPS endpoint (use Cloudflare Tunnel, ngrok, or similar).
Common patterns
Retry-safe HTTP — every example wraps the HTTP client with client.NewRetryDoer, which automatically honours Telegram's retry_after field on 429 responses.
Graceful shutdown — all examples use signal.NotifyContext so the bot drains cleanly on SIGINT/SIGTERM.
Structured logging — for production, wire a logger via client.WithLogger and wrap the process in supervision (systemd unit, k8s liveness probe, etc.).
