class Hamilton::Api

Overview

Class that is used for communication with Bot API endpoints.

NOTE none of the API methods raises exceptions. Instead, exceptions are logged as WARN - Hamilton::API. This is done for simplicity: the developer sees the exception in logs, and in the same time doesn't need to handle it when calling. That is why the return type is T | Nil, that is much easier to catch (if var, .try, or something else).

Defined in:

api/api.cr
api/endpoints.cr
