### Docker: 
* `docker pull xtrime/telegram-api-server`
* `git clone https://github.com/xtrime-ru/TelegramApiServer.git TelegramApiServer`
* `cd TelegramApiServer`
* Start container: `docker-compose up` 

    Folder will be linked inside container to store all necessary data: sessions, env, db.

### Manual: 
1. `git clone https://github.com/xtrime-ru/TelegramApiServer.git TelegramApiServer`
1. `cd telegramapiserver`
1. `composer install -o --no-dev`
1. `php server.php`

## First start
1. Ctrl + C to stop TelegramApiServer if running.
1. Get app_id and app_hash at [my.telegram.org](https://my.telegram.org/). 
    Only one app_id needed for any amount of users and bots.
1. Fill app_id and app_hash in `.env.docker` or `.env`.
1. Start TelegramApiServer in cli:
    * docker: 
        1. Start: `docker-compose up`
        1. Connect to docker container: `bash bin/docker-exec.sh`
        1. Start another instance with different port: `php server.php --docker --port=9500 --session=session`
    * manual:
        1. `php server.php --session=session`
1. Authorize your session:
    1. chose manual mode (`m`)
    1. Chose account type: user (`u`) or bot (`b`)
    1. Follow instructions
1. Wait 10-30 seconds until authorization is end and exit with `Ctrl + C`.
1. Run TAS in screen, tmux, supervisor (see below) or docker.

## Usage

1. Run server/parser
    ```
    usage: php server.php [--help] [-a=|--address=127.0.0.1] [-p=|--port=9503] [-s=|--session=]
    
    Options:
            --help      Show this message
            
        -a  --address   Server ip (optional) (default: 127.0.0.1)
                        To listen external connections use 0.0.0.0 and fill IP_WHITELIST in .env
                        
        -p  --port      Server port (optional) (default: 9503)
        
        -s  --session   Name for session file (optional)
                        Multiple sessions can be specified: "--session=user --session=bot"
                        
                        Each session is stored in `sessions/%session%.madeline`. 
                        Nested folders supported.
                        See README for more examples.
   
    Also  options can be set in .env file (see .env.example)
    ```
1. Access Telegram API with simple GET/POST requests.

    Regular and application/json POST supported.
    Its recommended to use http_build_query, when using GET requests.
    
    **Rules:**
    * All methods from MadelineProto supported: [Methods List](https://docs.madelineproto.xyz/API_docs/methods/)
    * Url: `http://%address%:%port%/api[/%session%]/%class%.%method%/?%param%=%val%`
    * <b>Important: api available only from ip in whitelist.</b> 
        By default it is: `127.0.0.1`
        You can add client ip in .env file to `API_CLIENT_WHITELIST` (use json format)
    * If method is inside class (messages, contacts and etc.) use '.' to separate class from method: 
        `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/contacts.getContacts`
    * If method requires array of values, use any name of array, for example 'data': 
        `?data[peer]=@xtrime&data[message]=Hello!`. Order of parameters does't matter in this case.
    * If method requires one or multiple separate parameters (not inside array) then pass parameters with any names but **in strict order**: 
        `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/getInfo/?id=@xtrime` or `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/getInfo/?abcd=@xtrime` works the same

    **Examples:**
    * get_info about channel/user: `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/getInfo/?id=@xtrime`
    * get_info about currect account: `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/getSelf`
    * repost: `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/messages.forwardMessages/?data[from_peer]=@xtrime&data[to_peer]=@xtrime&data[id]=1234`
    * get messages from channel/user: `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/getHistory/?data[peer]=@breakingmash&data[limit]=10`
    * get messages with text in HTML: `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/getHistoryHtml/?data[peer]=@breakingmash&data[limit]=10`
    * search: `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/searchGlobal/?data[q]=Hello%20World&data[limit]=10`
    * sendMessage: `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/sendMessage/?data[peer]=@xtrime&data[message]=Hello!`
    * copy message from one channel to another (not repost): `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/copyMessages/?data[from_peer]=@xtrime&data[to_peer]=@xtrime&data[id][0]=1`

## Run in background
* Docker: `docker compose up -d`
    Docker will monitor and restart containers.
* Manual: 
    1. Use [http://supervisord.org](supervisor) to monitor and restart swoole/amphp servers. 
    1. `apt-get install supervisor`
    1. Put config file in `/etc/supervisor/conf.d/telegram_api_server.conf`. Example: 
    ```
    [program:telegram_api_server]
    command=/usr/bin/php /home/admin/web/tg.i-c-a.su/TelegramApiServer/server.php --session=*
    numprocs=1
    directory=/home/admin/web/tg.i-c-a.su/TelegramApiServer/
    autostart=true
    autorestart=true
    startretries=10
    stdout_logfile=/var/log/telegram/stdout.log
    redirect_stderr=true
    ```
    1. Load new config: `supervisorctl update`
    1. View/control processes: `supervisorctl`
    
## Update
* `git fetch && git reset --hard origin/master`
* `composer install -o --no-dev`
* Compare `.env.docker` or `.env` with corresponding `.env.example`. Update if needed.
* `docker-compose restart` or `supervisorctl restart telegram_api_server`
    
## Advanced features
### Uploading files.

There are few options to upload and send media files:
- Custom method `sendMedia` supports upload from form:
    ```
    curl "http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/sendMedia?data[peer]=xtrime&data[message]=Hello" -g \
    -F "file=@/Users/xtrime/Downloads/test.txt"
    ```
- use custom `uploadMediaForm` method and then pass result to `messages.sendMedia`:
    1. `curl "http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/uploadMediaForm" -g -F "file=@/Users/xtrime/Downloads/test.txt"`
    Method supports `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` and `multipart/form-data`.
    
    2. Send result from `uploadMediaForm` to `messages.sendMedia` or `sendMedia`:
    ```
    curl --location --request POST 'http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/sendMedia' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data-raw '{
        "data":{

### Multiple sessions support. 

When running  multiple sessions, need to define which session to use for request.
Each session stored in `sessions/{$session}.madeline`. Nested folders supported.
**Examples:**
* `php server.php --session=bot --session=users/xtrime --session=users/user1`
* `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/bot/getSelf`
* `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/users/xtrime/getSelf` 
* `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/users/user1/getSelf`
* sessions file paths are: `sessions/bot.madeline`, `sessions/users/xtrime.madeline` and `sessions/users/user1.madeline`
* glob syntax for sessions:
    * `--session=*` to use all `sessions/*.madeline` files (in subfolders too).
    * `--session=users/* --session=bots/*`  to use all session files from `sessions/bots` and `sessions/users` folders. 

### Session management
    
**Examples:**
* Session list: `http://127.0.0.1:9503/system/getSessionList`
* Adding session: `http://127.0.0.1:9503/system/addSession?session=users/xtrime`
* [optional] Adding session with custom settings: `http://127.0.0.1:9503/system/addSession?session=users/xtrime&settings[app_info][app_id]=xxx&&settings[app_info][app_hash]=xxx`
* Removing session (session file will remain): `http://127.0.0.1:9503/system/removeSession?session=users/xtrime`
* Remove session file: `http://127.0.0.1:9503/system/removeSessionFile?session=users/xtrime`
    Don`t forget to logout first!
   
If there is no authorization in session, or session file is blank, authorization required:

User: 
* `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/users/xtrime/phoneLogin?phone=+7123...`
* `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/users/xtrime/completePhoneLogin?code=123456`
* (optional) `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/users/xtrime/complete2falogin?password=123456`
* (optional) `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/users/xtrime/completeSignup?firstName=MyExampleName`

Bot:
* `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/bot/botLogin?token=34298141894:aflknsaflknLKNFS`

Save new session to file immediately: `http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/bot/serialize`

### Websocket
#### EventHandler updates (webhooks).
 
Connect to `ws://127.0.0.1:9503/events` to get all events in json. 
This is efficient alternative for webhooks.
Each event is json object in [json-rpc 2.0 format](https://www.jsonrpc.org/specification#response_object). Example: 

When using multiple sessions, name of session can be added to path of websocket endpoint: 
This endpoint will send events only from `users/xtrime` session: `ws://127.0.0.1:9503/events/users/xtrime`

PHP websocket client example: [websocket-events.php](https://github.com/xtrime-ru/TelegramApiServer/blob/master/examples/websocket-events.php)

`php examples/websocket-events.php --url=ws://127.0.0.1:9503/events`

#### Logs.

Connect to `ws://127.0.0.1:9503/log[/%level%]` to get logs in real time.

`%level%` is optional parameter to filter logs. 
If filter is specified, then only messages with equal or greater level will be send.
This endpoint will send only alert and emergency logs: `ws://127.0.0.1:9503/log/alert`

Available levels: debug, info, notice, warning, error, critical, alert, emergency.

PHP websocket client example: [websocket-events.php](https://github.com/xtrime-ru/TelegramApiServer/blob/master/examples/websocket-events.php)

`php examples/websocket-events.php --url=ws://127.0.0.1:9503/log`
