telex
=====

Telex exposes a very thin layer over the Telegram Bot API HTTP
interface, it does not care about any data bindings over the interface
and tries to abstract away only the boilerplate for building, sending
and serializing the API requests.

## Installation
```Erlang
{deps, [telex]}.
```

## Usage

### Get the bot details
```LFE
(telex:request "bot:token" "getMe")

#(ok
  #M(#"username" #"bot_bot" #"is_bot" true #"id" 123456789
     #"first_name" #"BotBot"))
```

### Sending a message
```LFE
(telex:request "bot:token" "sendMessage" #M(chat_id 123456789 text "hola mundo"))

#(ok
  #M(#"text" #"hello world" #"message_id" 86
     #"from"
     #M(#"username" #"bot_bot" #"is_bot" true
        #"id" 525399965 #"first_name" #"BotBot")
     #"date" 1517968605
     #"chat"
     #M(#"username" #"username" #"type" #"private"
        #"last_name" #"First" #"id" 123456789
        #"first_name" #"Last")))
```
