This is the source code of one of my blog post. To read the full blog post please click here.

bot.js

var token = 'xxx';

function doPost(e) {
  // Make sure to only reply to json requests
  if(e.postData.type == "application/json") {
    
    // Parse the update sent from Telegram
    var update = JSON.parse(e.postData.contents);

    // Instantiate our bot passing the update 
    var bot = new Bot(token, update);
    
    // Building commands
    var bus = new CommandBus();
    bus.on(/\/start/, function () {
      this.replyToSender("Congratulations! It works!");
    });
    
    bus.on(/\/joke\s*([A-Za-z0-9_]+)?\s*([A-Za-z0-9_]+)?/, randomJoke);
    
    // Register the command bus
    bot.register(bus);
    
    // If the update is valid, process it
    if (update) {
      bot.process();
    }   
  }

  var bot = new Bot(token, {});
  var result = bot.request('setWebhook', {
    url: // publish your app and put your /excec URL here

Hi,
I get this error when trying to run this script. Any help?

Exception: Request failed for https://api.telegram.org returned code 404. Truncated server response: {"ok":false,"error_code":404,"description":"Not Found"} (use muteHttpExceptions option to examine full response) (line 81, file "Code")

Thank you!

Привет,
я получаю эту ошибку при попытке запустить этот скрипт. Любая помощь?

Исключение: сбой запроса для https://api.telegram.org вернул код 404. Усеченный ответ сервера: {"ok": false, "error_code": 404, "description": "Not Found"} (используйте параметр muteHttpExceptions для проверки полный ответ) (строка 81, файл «Код»)

Спасибо!

Надо отправить команду боту Ошибка говорит что нет сообщения

Changing the function name to "function doPost(e)" works for me.
Also setWebhook https://gist.github.com/unnikked/828e45e52e217adc09478321225ec3de#gistcomment-3226679

Add keyboard to replytosender:

replyToSender(text,keys) { return this.request('sendMessage',{ 'chat_id': this.update.message.from.id, 'text': text, 'parse_mode': "HTML", 'reply_markup': JSON.stringify(keys) }); }
