A concise and high-performance Telegram bot framework for Go, featuring command routing, middleware, and transparent file handling.
Telebot is a Telegram bot framework written in Go that provides a clean, high-performance API for building feature-rich bots. It simplifies interaction with the Telegram Bot API through intuitive command routing, middleware, file management, and inline query support. The framework is designed to be both easy to use and scalable for high-load applications.
Go developers who want to build Telegram bots with a concise, idiomatic API and need features like command handling, middleware, and inline mode. It's ideal for those prioritizing performance and clean code structure.
Developers choose Telebot for its extremely memorable API, transparent file handling that avoids re-uploads, and robust support for advanced features like middleware and inline keyboards—all while being optimized for high performance.

The API is designed to be extremely easy to memorize, with clean, idiomatic methods that abstract Telegram's complexities, as highlighted in the README's emphasis on 'beautiful code.'
Automatically caches FileIDs to avoid re-uploads and supports uploading from disk or URLs, simplifying file handling with clear examples in the Files section.
Supports chainable middleware at global, group, and handler scopes, with out-of-box implementations like Logger and Whitelist, enabling easy extensibility for logging and access control.
Handles commands with payload extraction and inline keyboard callbacks with unique routing, making interactive bot development straightforward and efficient.
The framework emphasizes pollers by default, which may not scale as well as webhooks for very high-traffic bots, requiring custom implementation for webhook support despite being highload-ready.
Custom Sendable and Editable interfaces require a deep understanding of Go interfaces and patterns, which can be daunting for developers new to such abstractions, as noted in the Sendable and Editable sections.
Compared to more popular bot frameworks, Telebot has a smaller community, leading to fewer third-party resources and plugins, and the documentation, while comprehensive, lacks advanced troubleshooting guides.
