============
Introduction
============

This library provides a pure Python interface for the
`Telegram Bot API <https://core.telegram.org/bots/api>`_.
It's compatible with Python versions 2.7, 3.3+ and `PyPy <http://pypy.org/>`_.
It also works with `Google App Engine <https://cloud.google.com/appengine>`_.

In addition to the pure API implementation, this library features a number of high-level classes to
make the development of bots easy and straightforward. These classes are contained in the
``telegram.ext`` submodule.

====================
Telegram API support
====================

As of **23. July 2017**, all types and methods of the Telegram Bot API 3.2 are supported.

==========
Installing
==========

You can install or upgrade python-telegram-bot with:

.. code:: shell

    $ pip install python-telegram-bot --upgrade

Or you can install from source with:

.. code:: shell

    $ git clone https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot --recursive
    $ cd python-telegram-bot
    $ python setup.py install
    
In case you have a previously cloned local repository already, you should initialize the added urllib3 submodule before installing with:

.. code:: shell

    $ git submodule update --init --recursive

===============
Getting started
===============

Our Wiki contains a lot of resources to get you started with ``python-telegram-bot``:

- `Introduction to the API <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Introduction-to-the-API>`_
- Tutorial: `Your first Bot <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Extensions-%E2%80%93-Your-first-Bot>`_

Other references:

- `Telegram API documentation <https://core.telegram.org/bots/api>`_
- `python-telegram-bot documentation <https://python-telegram-bot.readthedocs.io/>`_

-------------------
Learning by example
-------------------

We believe that the best way to learn and understand this simple package is by example. So here
are some examples for you to review. Even if it's not your approach for learning, please take a
look at ``echobot2``, it is de facto the base for most of the bots out there. Best of all,
the code for these examples are released to the public domain, so you can start by grabbing the
code and building on top of it.

Visit `this page <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/blob/master/examples/README.md>`_ to discover the official examples or look at the examples on the `wiki <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Examples>`_ to see other bots the community has built.

-------
Logging
-------

This library uses the ``logging`` module. To set up logging to standard output, put:

.. code:: python

    import logging
    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG,
                        format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')

at the beginning of your script.

You can also use logs in your application by calling ``logging.getLogger()`` and setting the log level you want:

.. code:: python

    logger = logging.getLogger()
    logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)

If you want DEBUG logs instead:

.. code:: python

    logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
