Yocingo Telegram API Bot

A Telegram API Bot written in Elixir! Awesome! :D (Hex) (Documentation)

The libary is completed!! Yay! And it is accesible in the Hex repository! ^_^

ADVERTISEMENT: I will upgrade this API as soon as I have time.

This Wrapper was created before Telegram API 2.0, anyway, can still be used. Thank you :D

Disclaimer

This is my first Elixir program, so please, don't be hard with me, I'm just a poor boy who loves learn new things :D

Every comment or suggestion is welcome!

Install

Use Mix to install this module, add:

defp deps do
    [{:yocingo, ">= 0.0.1"}]
end

In your mix.exs deps function and then type:

$ mix deps.get

And finally add yocingo as an application dependency:

defp application do
    [applications: [:yocingo]]
end

And done! You can use Yocingo in your project :D

How it Works?

Well this is a complete implementation of the Telegram Bot API in Elixir, and it is really easy to use the functions.

get_me

A simple method for testing your bot's auth token. Requires no parameters. Returns basic information about the bot in form of a HashMap.

Example:

iex> Yocingo.get_me
%{"ok" => true,
"result" => %{"first_name" => "RaggerBot", "id" => 93294942,
"username" => "RaggerBot"}}

get_updates

Use this method to receive incoming updates using long polling. Returns the updates in form of a HashMap

Arguments

Name	Type	Required	Description
offset	Integer	Optional	Identifier of the first update to be returned. Must be greater by one than the highest among the identifiers of previously received updates. By default, updates starting with the earliest unconfirmed update are returned. An update is considered confirmed as soon as getUpdates is called with an offset higher than its update_id.
limits	Integer	Optional	Limits the number of updates to be retrieved. Values between 1—100 are accepted. Defaults to 100
timeout	Integer	Optional	Timeout in seconds for long polling. Defaults to 0, i.e. usual short polling

Example:

iex> Yocingo.get_updates 965421280
%{"ok" => true,
"result" => [%{"message" => %{"chat" => %{"first_name" => "Yago",
"id" => 8026522, "last_name" => "Wolf", "username" => "ygwolf"},
"date" => 1438340483,
