# featherChat Bot API
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
featherChat exposes a **Telegram Bot API-compatible** HTTP interface, allowing
|
||||
developers to build bots that interact with featherChat users using familiar
|
||||
patterns. Bots register with the server, receive a token, and communicate via
|
||||
long-polling (webhook support is planned).
|
||||
|
||||
Key properties of v1:
|
||||
|
||||
- Bot aliases **must** end with `Bot`, `bot`, or `_bot` (auto-enforced on
|
||||
registration).
|
||||
- Bots receive encrypted user messages as **base64 blobs** (`raw_encrypted`
|
||||
field). Plaintext bot-to-bot messages are delivered with a readable `text`
|
||||
field.
|
||||
- Bot-sent messages are **plaintext** (not E2E encrypted) in v1.
|
||||
- `chat_id` values are hex fingerprints (not numeric Telegram-style IDs).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. Register your bot:
|
||||
POST /v1/bot/register
|
||||
{"name": "WeatherBot", "fingerprint": "aabbccdd..."}
|
||||
|
||||
2. Extract the token from the response.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Poll for updates:
|
||||
POST /v1/bot/<token>/getUpdates
|
||||
{"timeout": 5}
|
||||
|
||||
4. Send a reply:
|
||||
POST /v1/bot/<token>/sendMessage
|
||||
{"chat_id": "<sender_fingerprint>", "text": "Hello!"}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Endpoints
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Register a Bot
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
POST /v1/bot/register
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Creates a new bot, stores it in the server database, and auto-registers an
|
||||
alias.
|
||||
|
||||
**Request:**
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "MyBot",
|
||||
"fingerprint": "aabbccdd1122334455667788aabbccdd"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Type | Description |
|
||||
|---------------|--------|----------------------------------------------|
|
||||
| `name` | string | Display name. Alias suffix auto-added if needed. |
|
||||
| `fingerprint` | string | Hex-encoded public key fingerprint for the bot. |
|
||||
|
||||
**Response:**
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"ok": true,
|
||||
"result": {
|
||||
"token": "aabbccdd11223344:9f8e7d6c5b4a39281706abcdef012345",
|
||||
"name": "MyBot",
|
||||
"fingerprint": "aabbccdd1122334455667788aabbccdd",
|
||||
"alias": "@mybot_bot"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Token format:** `<first-16-chars-of-fingerprint>:<32-hex-random-bytes>`
|
||||
|
||||
**Alias rules:**
|
||||
|
||||
- If the name already ends with `Bot`, `bot`, or `_bot`, the alias is the
|
||||
lowercased name (e.g. `WeatherBot` -> `@weatherbot`).
|
||||
- Otherwise `_bot` is appended (e.g. `weather` -> `@weather_bot`).
|
||||
- The alias is registered in both directions (alias -> fingerprint and
|
||||
fingerprint -> alias).
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Get Bot Info
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
GET /v1/bot/:token/getMe
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Returns information about the bot in a Telegram-compatible shape.
|
||||
|
||||
**Response (valid token):**
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"ok": true,
|
||||
"result": {
|
||||
"id": "aabbccdd1122334455667788aabbccdd",
|
||||
"is_bot": true,
|
||||
"first_name": "MyBot",
|
||||
"username": "MyBot"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Response (invalid token):**
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"ok": false,
|
||||
"description": "invalid token"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Get Updates (Long-Poll)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
POST /v1/bot/:token/getUpdates
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Returns queued messages for the bot and deletes them from the queue.
|
||||
|
||||
**Request:**
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"timeout": 5
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Type | Description |
|
||||
|-----------|------|-----------------------------------------------------|
|
||||
| `timeout` | u64 | Optional. Long-poll wait in seconds. **Capped at 5.** |
|
||||
|
||||
If the queue is empty and `timeout > 0`, the server waits up to `timeout`
|
||||
seconds (max 5) before returning an empty result, giving new messages a chance
|
||||
to arrive.
|
||||
|
||||
**Response:**
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"ok": true,
|
||||
"result": [ ...updates... ]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Update Types
|
||||
|
||||
**Encrypted message** (from a user — bot must decrypt if it has a session):
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"update_id": 1,
|
||||
"message": {
|
||||
"message_id": "uuid",
|
||||
"from": {
|
||||
"id": "sender_fingerprint",
|
||||
"is_bot": false,
|
||||
"first_name": "sender_finge"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"chat": {
|
||||
"id": "sender_fingerprint",
|
||||
"type": "private"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"date": 1711670400,
|
||||
"text": null,
|
||||
"raw_encrypted": "base64-encoded-wiremessage..."
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key exchange** (X3DH session initiation — same shape as encrypted message):
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"update_id": 2,
|
||||
"message": {
|
||||
"message_id": "uuid",
|
||||
"from": { "id": "sender_fp", "is_bot": false, "first_name": "sender_fp..." },
|
||||
"chat": { "id": "sender_fp", "type": "private" },
|
||||
"date": 1711670400,
|
||||
"text": null,
|
||||
"raw_encrypted": "base64-encoded-keyexchange..."
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Call signal:**
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"update_id": 3,
|
||||
"message": {
|
||||
"message_id": "uuid",
|
||||
"from": { "id": "sender_fp", "is_bot": false, "first_name": "sender_fp..." },
|
||||
"chat": { "id": "sender_fp", "type": "private" },
|
||||
"date": 1711670400,
|
||||
"text": "/call_Offer",
|
||||
"call_signal": {
|
||||
"type": "Offer",
|
||||
"payload": "SDP or ICE data..."
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**File header:**
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"update_id": 4,
|
||||
"message": {
|
||||
"message_id": "uuid",
|
||||
"from": { "id": "sender_fp", "is_bot": false, "first_name": "sender_fp..." },
|
||||
"chat": { "id": "sender_fp", "type": "private" },
|
||||
"date": 1711670400,
|
||||
"document": {
|
||||
"file_name": "report.pdf",
|
||||
"file_size": 204800
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Bot message (plaintext, from another bot via `sendMessage`):**
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"update_id": 5,
|
||||
"message": {
|
||||
"message_id": "uuid",
|
||||
"from": {
|
||||
"id": "other_bot_fingerprint",
|
||||
"is_bot": true
|
||||
},
|
||||
"chat": {
|
||||
"id": "other_bot_fingerprint",
|
||||
"type": "private"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"date": 1711670400,
|
||||
"text": "Hello from the other bot!"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note:** Receipt and internal wire messages (FileChunk, GroupSenderKey,
|
||||
> SenderKeyDistribution) are silently skipped and never delivered as updates.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Send Message
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
POST /v1/bot/:token/sendMessage
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Sends a **plaintext** message to a user or another bot.
|
||||
|
||||
**Request:**
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"chat_id": "aabbccdd1122334455667788aabbccdd",
|
||||
"text": "Hello from MyBot!"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Type | Description |
|
||||
|-----------|--------|--------------------------------------------------|
|
||||
| `chat_id` | string | Recipient fingerprint (hex) or Ethereum address. |
|
||||
| `text` | string | Plaintext message body. |
|
||||
|
||||
Non-hex characters in `chat_id` are stripped and the value is lowercased before
|
||||
routing.
|
||||
|
||||
**Response:**
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"ok": true,
|
||||
"result": {
|
||||
"message_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
|
||||
"chat": {
|
||||
"id": "aabbccdd1122334455667788aabbccdd",
|
||||
"type": "private"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"text": "Hello from MyBot!",
|
||||
"date": 1711670400,
|
||||
"delivered": true
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `delivered` field indicates whether the message was sent over a live
|
||||
WebSocket connection (`true`) or queued for later retrieval (`false`).
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Alias Rules
|
||||
|
||||
| Rule | Detail |
|
||||
|------|--------|
|
||||
| Bot aliases **must** end with `Bot`, `bot`, or `_bot` | Enforced at registration time. |
|
||||
| Non-bot users **cannot** register aliases with these suffixes | Reserved for bots. |
|
||||
| Auto-registered on bot creation | No separate alias step needed. |
|
||||
| Users message bots via alias | e.g. `@mybot_bot`, resolved like any other alias. |

## Differences from Telegram Bot API
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature | Telegram | featherChat |
|
||||
|---------|----------|-------------|
|
||||
| `chat_id` type | Numeric integer | Hex fingerprint string |
|
||||
| `getUpdates` timeout | Up to 50s | Capped at **5s** |
|
||||
| Message content | Always plaintext | Encrypted messages arrive as `raw_encrypted` base64; bot must decrypt if it has a session |
|
||||
| Bot-sent messages | Plaintext | Plaintext (not E2E encrypted) in v1 |
|
||||
| Inline keyboards / callback queries | Supported | Not yet (planned) |
|
||||
| Media groups | Supported | Not yet (planned) |
|
||||
| Webhooks (`setWebhook`) | Supported | Not yet (planned) |
|
||||
| File download (`getFile`) | Supported | Not yet (planned) |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Example: Simple Echo Bot (Python)
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import requests
|
||||
import time
|
||||
|
||||
TOKEN = "your_bot_token"
|
||||
API = f"http://localhost:7700/v1/bot/{TOKEN}"
|
||||
|
||||
while True:
|
||||
resp = requests.post(f"{API}/getUpdates", json={"timeout": 5}).json()
|
||||
for update in resp.get("result", []):
|
||||
msg = update.get("message", {})
|
||||
text = msg.get("text") or "[encrypted]"
|
||||
chat_id = msg.get("chat", {}).get("id", "")
|
||||
if text and chat_id:
|
||||
requests.post(f"{API}/sendMessage", json={
|
||||
"chat_id": chat_id,
|
||||
"text": f"Echo: {text}",
|
||||
})
|
||||
time.sleep(1)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Example: Registration (curl)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X POST http://localhost:7700/v1/bot/register \
|
||||
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
||||
-d '{"name": "EchoBot", "fingerprint": "aabbccdd1122334455667788aabbccdd"}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Authentication
|
||||
|
||||
All bot endpoints (except `/register`) are authenticated by the **token** in
|
||||
the URL path. Tokens are generated at registration time and stored server-side.
|
||||
There is no expiration mechanism in v1 -- tokens remain valid until the server
|
||||
database is cleared.
|
||||
|
||||
The token grants full access to poll and send messages as the bot. **Treat it
|
||||
like a password.**
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Internal Details
|
||||
|
||||
- Bot info is stored in the `tokens` sled tree under key `bot:<token>`.
|
||||
- A reverse lookup `bot_fp:<fingerprint>` -> `<token>` is also maintained.
|
||||
- Aliases are stored in the `aliases` sled tree (`a:<alias>` -> fingerprint,
|
||||
`fp:<fingerprint>` -> alias).
|
||||
- Queued messages live in the `messages` sled tree under prefix
|
||||
`queue:<bot_fingerprint>:*` and are deleted after `getUpdates` consumes them.
|
||||
- Messages are delivered via `deliver_or_queue` -- live WebSocket if online,
|
||||
otherwise queued.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Future Plans
|
||||
|
||||
- **Webhook mode** (`setWebhook`) -- push updates to a URL instead of polling.
|
||||
- **Inline keyboards and callback queries** -- interactive message buttons.
|
||||
- **E2E encrypted bot sessions** -- bots participate in X3DH key exchange.
|
||||
- **File send/receive APIs** -- `sendDocument`, `getFile`.
|
||||
- **Group bot support** -- bots in group chats with sender-key encryption.
