Whether you’re a beginner or professional programmer, you can create personalized tools with the help of the Bot Platform.įor a detailed explanation of Bot Features, see this guide Using TDLib, it took the developer of the app approximately one year to reproduce all the major features of Telegram for Android – and add plenty of his own.The possibilities for bots are endless – from simple scripts to complex web apps. Our new Android X client is an example of what can be done with TDLib. We use TDLib in the Telegram Bot API, where each TDLib instance handles more than 18,000 active bots simultaneously. The library is fully asynchronous and optimized for high performance. All local data is encrypted using a user-provided encryption key. TDLib will remain stable on slow and unreliable Internet connections and guarantees that all updates will be delivered in the correct order. The code is, of course, completely open and available on GitHub. Open and well-documentedĪll TDLib API methods and public interfaces are fully documented. The library is compatible with any programming language that can execute C functions it also has native bindings to Java and C#.

It can be used on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux and virtually any other system. TDLib supports all Telegram features and makes developing Telegram apps a breeze on any platform. TDLib takes care of all network implementation details, encryption and local data storage, so that developers can dedicate more time to design, responsive interfaces and beautiful animations.

Meet TDLib – the Telegram Database Library. Today we are introducing a new tool for third-party developers that will make it even easier to build fast, secure and feature-rich Telegram apps on our platform.

Users of these alternative clients can communicate with anyone on Telegram, but the apps often offer experimental, highly specialized or locally flavored features. These apps openly compete with the official ones and some of them have now reached more than 10 million downloads on Google Play. Since day one, we've also had a free and open Telegram API that allows anyone to create their own messaging apps operating in the Telegram cloud. Telegram offers developers more than just the Bot API.
