Sending files (including photo, audio, document, video and sticker)

Now only require filepath,

 
bot.sendPhoto({
  chat_id: USER_ID,
  caption: 'Telegram Logo',
  files: {
    photo: './examples/logo.png'
  }
}, function (err, msg) {
  console.log(err);
  console.log(msg);
});
 

Previously,

 
bot.sendPhoto({
  chat_id: USER_ID,
  caption: 'Telegram Logo',
  files: {
    photo: {
      filename: './examples/logo.png',
      stream: fs.createReadStream('./examples/logo.png')
    }
  }
}, function (err, msg) {
  console.log(err);
  console.log(msg);
});
 

Here's an example:

 
var Bot = require('node-telegram-bot');
 
var bot = new Bot({
  token: 'TOKEN HERE'
})
.on('message', function (message) {
  console.log(message);
})
.start();
 

How to use Botan.io analytics:

 
var bot = new Bot({
  token: 'Telegram token'
})
.enableAnalytics('Botan.io token')
.on('message', function (message) {
  console.log(message);
})
.start();
