telegram-api-data

Automated scraper for the Telegram Bot API. Parses the official docs and stores structured data as JSON — used by laraXgram/laraquest to generate PHP code.

How it works

1. GitHub Actions fetches core.telegram.org/bots/api
2. Parses all methods and types from the HTML
3. Saves telegram-api.json and commits it to this repo
4. Laraquest fetches the JSON from raw content and generates PHP files
