I tray to get some info bot Telegram don't reply support tickets!

Can you help me with Telegram. so that I am sent in the right direction.

I work for a government organization and we have a weekly exercise, now I would like to simplify this with, for example, a poll or something else where if someone responds to that I get a feedback via the telegram API.

I want to use PHP for this but see many options on the Telegram website https://core.telegram.org/bots/samples#php but now which one is and is not suitable for this and there is a little explanation somewhere how to find it tackles this?

Greetings Theo

We want to change minimal version php to 7.4 in our package version 2. It's make all methods and types more strict and clean.

In this thread we will collect suggestions for version 2.
This update will not be compatible with version 1.x, so you can suggest any reasonable improvement.

Ofcourse we will support both versions (1.x and 2.x) and update it according telegram bot api changes.

Detailed description

When the user which seends a message to the bot has a username, there will be an exception thrown while processing webhook updates.

ReflectionException: Property TgBotApi\BotApiBase\Type\ChatType::$username does not exist

If i remove my username in telegram, the message get processed normally.

Possible implementation

After a quick test, it seems to be sufficient to simply add a property called $username in the ChatType class.

Your environment

PHP 7.3 with lando.dev

Detailed description

When I'm building a new message via SendMessageMethod I'm passing an entities list that cannot be normalized by BotApiNormalizer. It just ignores them and still appears as an array instead of encoded json.

$buttonA = new InlineKeyboardButtonType();
$buttonA->callbackData = 'a';
$buttonA->text = 'A';

$buttonB = new InlineKeyboardButtonType();
$buttonB->callbackData = 'b';
$buttonB->text = 'B';

$inlineKeyboard = new InlineKeyboardMarkupType();
$inlineKeyboard->inlineKeyboard = [
    [$buttonA, $buttonB],
];

$messageEntity = new MessageEntityType();
$messageEntity->type = MessageEntityType::TYPE_TEXT_LINK;
$messageEntity->offset = 58;
$messageEntity->length = 23;
$messageEntity->url = 'https://google.com';

$sendMessage = new SendMessageMethod();
$sendMessage->chatId = '111222333';
$sendMessage->text = 'some text';
$sendMessage->replyMarkup = $inlineKeyboard;
$sendMessage->entities = [$messageEntity];

$this->botApi->send($sendMessage);

$normalizer = new BotApiNormalizer();
$normalizedRequest = $normalizer->normalize($sendMessage); // entities are not normalized at this step

And this method cannot be sent by the api client:

Include as many relevant details about the environment you experienced the bug in and how to reproduce it.

• Version used: PHP 8.1

We need to support it

March 30, 2020

Bot API 4.7

• Added the method sendDice for sending a dice message, which will have a random value from 1 to 6. (Yes, we're aware of the “proper” singular of die. But it's awkward, and we decided to help it change. One dice at a time!)
• Added the field dice to the Message object.
• Added the method getMyCommands for getting the current list of the bot's commands.
• Added the method setMyCommands for changing the list of the bot's commands through the Bot API instead of @BotFather.
• Added the ability to create animated sticker sets by specifying the parameter tgs_sticker instead of png_sticker in the method createNewStickerSet.
• Added the ability to add animated stickers to sets created by the bot by specifying the parameter tgs_sticker instead of png_sticker in the method addStickerToSet.
• Added the field thumb to the StickerSet object.
• Added the ability to change thumbnails of sticker sets created by the bot using the method setStickerSetThumb.

• add all tests

We need to replace ci.

I have servers in Russia but Telegram servers are blocked.
Is there any good way to set in config proxy path? Or i need to patch/extend source code of this library?
And how exactly? Thanks.

When sending SendPollMethod, there is no poll info in response. I suppose it can be achieved by adding the following property to the MessageType class:

    /**
     * @var PollType
     */
    public $poll;

I rely on a quick fix for this. Thank you in advance.

Need to implement all new features

Serialization error

When I'm sends poll I receive this error. It's because wrong normalization in request.

In ApiClient.php line 128:
                                      
Notice: Array to string conversion

How to fix

We need to add new normalizer like this

I'll fix it tonight

Need to update library to support Bot api version 5 (November 4, 2020)

Detailed description

When I tried to install using composer, I got this error message :

[InvalidArgumentException]
Could not find a matching version of package greenplugin/telegram-bot-api.
Check the package spelling, your version constraint and that the package is
available in a stability which matches your minimum-stability (stable).

Installation does not work because there are no stable version. Please make a release so it can be used.

after executing following line:

BotApi::edit(EditMessageMediaMethod::create($chatId, $messageId, InputMediaVideoType::create($url), array('replyMarkup'=>$someInlineKeyboardMarkup)));

exception throws : Bad Request: can't parse InputMedia: Can't parse media JSON object

and PHP Notice : Array to string conversion in /foo/vendor/tg-bot-api/bot-api-base/src/ApiClient.php on line 106 which is ApiClient::createStreamBody() method

Need to implement all new features:

• Added the new field via_bot to the Message object. You can now know which bot was used to send a message.
• Supported video thumbnails for inline GIF and MPEG4 animations.
• Supported the new basketball animation for the random dice. Choose between different animations (dice, darts, basketball) by specifying the emoji parameter in the method sendDice.

We need to create Symfony Flex recipe for this library.
It will easy installation and easy configuration.

    $response = $bot->send(
        \TgBotApi\BotApiBase\Method\SendMessageMethod::create($userId, 'Hi2')
    );

    $prevMessageId = $response->messageId;
    $response = $bot->edit(

    );

Symfony \ Component \ Debug \ Exception \ FatalThrowableError (E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR)
Argument 3 passed to TgBotApi\BotApiBase\ApiClient::createDataStream() must be of the type string, int given

I tried to send an invoice, but got the notice:
PHP Notice: Array to string conversion in .../src/ApiClient.php on line 106

And receive unsuccessful response from telegram.

Example

$invoice = SendInvoiceMethod::create(
    $telegramAccount->getTelegramId(),
    'title',
    'description',
    'payload',
    'token',
    'startParameter',
    'USD',
    [LabeledPriceType::create('label', 234)]
);

$bot->sendInvoice($invoice);

When ApiClient try to createStreamBody it cast value (array) as string:

        foreach ($request->getData() as $name => $value) {
            // todo [GreenPlugin] fix type cast and replace it to normalizer
            $stream .= $this->createDataStream($boundary, $name, (string) $value);
        }

If you using Symfony flex please give feedback about our recipe in this issue.

Could not find package tg-bot-api/bot-api-base at any version matching your PHP version 7.0.10.0

Do you support PHP7?

In internal classes and in tests phpdoc is not pretty (like this).
Please improve it and write input/output types.

Telegram released new version of bot api. Need to update the library to support their changes.
