Gettting Started
The Bots standard commands are in the commands dispatcher commands.sh, Do not edit this file! Add your commands and functions to mycommands.sh. In 'mycommands.sh.dist' you find examples how to add own commands and overwrite existing ones. See Best practices for more information.
Once you're done with editing start the Bot with ./bashbot.sh start. To stop the Bot run ./bashbot.sh kill
If something doesn't work as expected, debug with ./bashbot.sh startbot DEBUG &, where DEBUG can be 'debug', 'xdebug' or 'xdebugx'.
See Bashbot Development for more information.
To use the functions provided in this script in other scripts simply source bashbot: source bashbot.sh source. see Expert Use
Have FUN!

Managing your Bot
Note: running bashbot as root is highly danger and not recommended. See Expert use.
Start / Stop
Start or Stop your Bot use the following commands:
./bashbot.sh start
./bashbot.sh kill
User stats
To count the total number of users and messages run the following command:
./bashbot.sh stats
Sending broadcasts to all users
To send a broadcast to all of users that ever used the bot run the following command:
./bashbot.sh broadcast "Hey! I just wanted to let you know that the bot's been updated!"
Recieve data
Evertime a Message is received, you can read incoming data using the following variables:
Regular Messages
These Variables are always present in regular messages:
${MESSAGE}: Current message text${MESSAGE[ID]}: ID of current message$USER: This array contains the First name, last name, username and user id of the sender of the current message.${USER[ID]}: User id${USER[FIRST_NAME]}: User's first name${USER[LAST_NAME]}: User's last name${USER[USERNAME]}: Username
$CHAT: This array contains the First name, last name, username, title and user id of the chat of the current message.${CHAT[ID]}: Chat id${CHAT[FIRST_NAME]}: Chat's first name${CHAT[LAST_NAME]}: Chat's last name${CHAT[USERNAME]}: Username${CHAT[TITLE]}: Title${CHAT[TYPE]}: Type${CHAT[ALL_MEMBERS_ARE_ADMINISTRATORS]}: All members are administrators (true if true)
The following variables are set if the message contains optional parts:
$REPLYTO: Original message wich was replied to$REPLYTO: This array contains the First name, last name, username and user id of the ORIGINAL sender of the message REPLIED to.${REPLYTO[ID]}: ID of message wich was replied to${REPLYTO[UID]}: Original user's id${REPLYTO[FIRST_NAME]}: Original user's first name${REPLYTO[LAST_NAME]}: Original user's' last name${REPLYTO[USERNAME]}: Original user's username
$FORWARD: This array contains the First name, last name, username and user id of the ORIGINAL sender of the FORWARDED message.${FORWARD[ID]}: Same as MESSAGE[ID] if message is forwarded${FORWARD[UID]}: Original user's id${FORWARD[FIRST_NAME]}: Original user's first name${FORWARD[LAST_NAME]}: Original user's' last name${FORWARD[USERNAME]}: Original user's username
$CAPTION: Picture, Audio, Video, File Captions$URLS: This array contains documents, audio files, voice recordings and stickers as URL.${URLS[AUDIO]}: Audio files${URLS[VIDEO]}: Videos${URLS[PHOTO]}: Photos (maximum quality)${URLS[VOICE]}: Voice recordings${URLS[STICKER]}: Stickers${URLS[DOCUMENT]}: Any other file
$CONTACT: This array contains info about contacts sent in a chat.${CONTACT[ID]}: User id${CONTACT[NUMBER]}: Phone number${CONTACT[FIRST_NAME]}: First name${CONTACT[LAST_NAME]}: Last name${CONTACT[VCARD]}: User's complete Vcard
$LOCATION: This array contains info about locations sent in a chat.${LOCATION[LONGITUDE]}: Longitude${LOCATION[LATITUDE]}: Latitude
$VENUE: This array contains info about venue (a place) sent in a chat.${VENUE[TITLE]}: Name of the place${VENUE[ADDRESS]}: Address of the place${VENUE[LONGITUDE]}: Longitude${VENUE[LATITUDE]}: Latitude${VENUE[FOURSQUARE]}: Fouresquare ID
Service Messages
Service Messages are regular messages not itended for end users, instead they signal special events to the client, e.g. new users.
If a service message is recieved bashbot sets MESSAGE to the service message type as a command, e.g. if a new user joins a chat MESSAGE is set to "/new_chat_user".
$SERVICE: This array contains info abbout recived service messages.${SERVICE}: "yes" if service message is received${SERVICE[NEWMEMBER]: New user's id${MESSAGE}: /new_chat_member${NEWMEMBER[ID]: New user's id${NEWMEMBER[FIRST_NAME]: New user's first name${NEWMEMBER[LAST_NAME]: New user's last name${NEWMEMBER[USERNAME]: New user's username${NEWMEMBER[ISBOT]: New user is a bot
${SERVICE[LEFTMEMBER]: Id of user left${MESSAGE}: /left_chat_member${LEFTMEMBER[ID]: Left user's id${LEFTMEMBER[FIRST_NAME]: Left user's first name${LEFTMEMBER[LAST_NAME]: Left user's last name${LEFTMEMBER[USERNAME]: Left user's username${LEFTMEMBER[ISBOT]: Left user is a bot
${SERVICE[NEWTITLE]: Text of new title${MESSAGE}: /new_chat_title
${SERVICE[NEWPHOTO]: New Chat Picture URL${MESSAGE}: /new_chat_picture
${SERVICE[PINNED]: Pinned Message structure${MESSAGE}: /new_pinned_message
Inline query messages
Inline query messages are small, non regular messages used for interaction with the user, they contain the following varibles only:
${iQUERY}: Current inline query$iQUERY: This array contains the ID, First name, last name, username and user id of the sender of the current inline query.${iQUERY[ID]}: Inline query ID${iQUERY[USER_ID]}: User's id${iQUERY[FIRST_NAME]}: User's first name${iQUERY[LAST_NAME]}: User's last name
Usage of bashbot functions
sending messages
To send messages use the send_xxx_message functions.
To send regular text without any markdown use:
send_text_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "lol"
To send text with markdown:
send_markdown_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "lol *bold*"
To send text with html:
send_html_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "lol <b>bold</b>"
To forward messages use the forward function:
forward "${CHAT[ID]}" "from_chat_id" "message_id"
If your Bot is Admin in a Chat you can delete every message, if not you can delete only your messages. To delete a message with a known ${MESSAGE[ID]} you can simple use:
delete_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "${MESSAGE[ID]}"
send_message
In addition there is a universal send_massage function which can output any type of message.
This function is used to process output from external scrips like interactive chats or background jobs.
For safety and performance reasons I recommend to use send_xxxx_message functions above for sending messages
send_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "lol"
To send html or markdown put the following strings before the text, depending on the parsing mode you want to enable:
send_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "markdown_parse_mode lol *bold*"
send_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "html_parse_mode lol <b>bold</b>"
This function also allows a third parameter that disables additional function parsing (for safety use this when reprinting user input):
send_message "${CHAT[ID]}" "lol" "safe"
See also Interactive chats
Send files, locations, keyboards.
To send images, videos, voice files, photos etc. use the send_photo function (remember to change the safety Regex @ line 14 of command.sh to allow sending files only from certain directories):
send_file "${CHAT[ID]}" "/home/user/doge.jpg" "Lool"
To send custom keyboards use the send_keyboard function:
send_keyboard "${CHAT[ID]}" "Text that will appear in chat?" '[ "Yep" , "No" ]' # note the simgle quotes!
send_keyboard "${CHAT[ID]}" "Text that will appear in chat?" "[ \\"Yep\\" , \\"No\\" ]" # within double quotes you must excape the inside double quots
To send locations use the send_location function:
send_location "${CHAT[ID]}" "Latitude" "Longitude"
To send venues use the send_venue function:
send_venue "${CHAT[ID]}" "Latitude" "Longitude" "Title" "Address" "optional foursquare id"
To send a chat action use the send_action function.
Allowed values: typing for text messages, upload_photo for photos, record_video or upload_video for videos, record_audio or upload_audio for audio files, upload_document for general files, find_location for locations.
send_action "${CHAT[ID]}" "action"
