# Telebot

... is a basic _Chicken Scheme_ module to ease the development of Bots interfacing with the [Telegram Bot API](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api).

In this context _basic_ means that the module currently consists of barely more than raw HTTP API calls hidden behind analogously named functions and JSON deserialization provided by the _http-client_ respectively _medea_ eggs.

The maintanance of these API wrappers is simplified by an appropriate _Scheme_ macro that reduces the implementation of new API methods to basically slightly rewriting the documentation.

## Example

`example/echo.scm` implements a bot that echoes all messages back to their sender.
