Overview

The simplest possible Gogram example - authenticate and send a message to yourself (Saved Messages).

​
Code

package main

import (
	"github.com/amarnathcjd/gogram/telegram"
)

func main() {
	// Create a new Telegram client with your API credentials
	client, _ := telegram.NewClient(telegram.ClientConfig{
		AppID:   6,                // Your API ID from my.telegram.org
		AppHash: "YOUR_APP_HASH",  // Your API Hash from my.telegram.org
	})
	
	// Authenticate as a bot using token from @BotFather
	client.LoginBot("YOUR_BOT_TOKEN")
	
	// Send a message to yourself (Saved Messages)
	// "me" is a special identifier for your own Saved Messages
	client.SendMessage("me", "hello world!")
}

​
How It Works

  1. Create Client - Initialize a new Telegram client with your API credentials from my.telegram.org
  2. Authenticate - Login as a bot using the token you got from @BotFather
  3. Send Message - Send “hello world!” to your Saved Messages (use "me" as the chat identifier)

​
Running the Example

  1. Replace YOUR_APP_HASH with your actual API hash
  2. Replace YOUR_BOT_TOKEN with your bot token from @BotFather
  3. Run the program: 
    go run main.go
  4. Check your Saved Messages in Telegram to see “hello world!”
