Telegram Bot

Overview

Telegram-Bot is a powerful framework aimed at simplifying the development of Telegram bots using PHP Laravel. As of August 2024, it will operate under the GNU Affero General Public License Version 3 (AGPLv3), reinforcing the ethos of software freedom by requiring the sharing of source code for any usage over a network. Despite recent challenges, including the sunset of Searchable Bots and scaling down on support for Contribute Bots, the main bot remains functional and is actively maintained with enhancements in its private code structure.

As the project evolves, the creators acknowledge the growing complexity of maintaining a variety of bot functions and the increasing costs associated with API usage. They encourage the community's support and participation while ensuring that users can continue to utilize the bot's core features without disruption.
