### Process Telegram Bot Updates and Echo Messages in Go

Source: https://github.com/go-telegram-bot-api/telegram-bot-api/blob/master/docs/getting-started/README.md

This Go code extends the simple bot to poll for updates, filter for incoming messages, and echo the received text back to the sender. It configures update polling with a timeout and demonstrates how to construct and send a reply message, including setting the `ReplyToMessageID`.

```go
	// Create a new UpdateConfig struct with an offset of 0. Offsets are used
	// to make sure Telegram knows we've handled previous values and we don't
	// need them repeated.
	updateConfig := tgbotapi.NewUpdate(0)

	// Tell Telegram we should wait up to 30 seconds on each request for an
	// update. This way we can get information just as quickly as making many
	// frequent requests without having to send nearly as many.
	updateConfig.Timeout = 30

	// Start polling Telegram for updates.
	updates := bot.GetUpdatesChan(updateConfig)

	// Let's go through each update that we're getting from Telegram.
	for update := range updates {
		// Telegram can send many types of updates depending on what your Bot
		// is up to. We only want to look at messages for now, so we can
		// discard any other updates.
		if update.Message == nil {
			continue
		}

		// Now that we know we've gotten a new message, we can construct a
		// reply! We'll take the Chat ID and Text from the incoming message
		// and use it to create a new message.
		msg := tgbotapi.NewMessage(update.Message.Chat.ID, update.Message.Text)
		// We'll also say that this message is a reply to the previous message.
		// For any other specifications than Chat ID or Text, you'll need to
		// set fields on the `MessageConfig`.
		msg.ReplyToMessageID = update.Message.MessageID

		// Okay, we're sending our message off! We don't care about the message
		// we just sent, so we'll discard it.
		if _, err := bot.Send(msg); err != nil {
			// Note that panics are a bad way to handle errors. Telegram can
			// have service outages or network errors, you should retry sending
			// messages or more gracefully handle failures.
			panic(err)
		}
	}
```

### Go Telegram Bot Command Handler Example

Source: https://github.com/go-telegram-bot-api/telegram-bot-api/blob/master/docs/examples/command-handling.md

This Go snippet demonstrates how to set up a Telegram bot to listen for and respond to specific commands. It initializes the bot using an API token from environment variables, retrieves updates, filters for command messages, and uses a switch statement to provide different responses for '/help', '/sayhi', and '/status' commands.

```go
package main

import (
	"log"
	"os"

	tgbotapi "github.com/go-telegram-bot-api/telegram-bot-api/v5"
)

func main() {
	bot, err := tgbotapi.NewBotAPI(os.Getenv("TELEGRAM_APITOKEN"))
	if err != nil {
		log.Panic(err)
	}

	bot.Debug = true

	log.Printf("Authorized on account %s", bot.Self.UserName)

	u := tgbotapi.NewUpdate(0)
	u.Timeout = 60

	updates := bot.GetUpdatesChan(u)

	for update := range updates {
		if update.Message == nil { // ignore any non-Message updates
			continue
		}

		if !update.Message.IsCommand() { // ignore any non-command Messages
			continue
		}

		// Create a new MessageConfig. We don't have text yet,
		// so we leave it empty.
		msg := tgbotapi.NewMessage(update.Message.Chat.ID, "")

		// Extract the command from the Message.
		switch update.Message.Command() {
		case "help":
			msg.Text = "I understand /sayhi and /status."
		case "sayhi":
			msg.Text = "Hi :)"
		case "status":
			msg.Text = "I'm ok."
		default:
			msg.Text = "I don't know that command"
		}

		if _, err := bot.Send(msg); err != nil {
			log.Panic(err)
		}
	}
}
```

	u := tgbotapi.NewUpdate(0)
	u.Timeout = 60

	updates := bot.GetUpdatesChan(u)

	// Loop through each update.
	for update := range updates {
		// Check if we've gotten a message update.
		if update.Message != nil {
			// Construct a new message from the given chat ID and containing
			// the text that we received.
			msg := tgbotapi.NewMessage(update.Message.Chat.ID, update.Message.Text)

			// If the message was open, add a copy of our numeric keyboard.
			switch update.Message.Text {
			case "open":
				msg.ReplyMarkup = numericKeyboard

			}

			// Send the message.
			if _, err = bot.Send(msg); err != nil {
				panic(err)
			}
		} else if update.CallbackQuery != nil {
			// Respond to the callback query, telling Telegram to show the user
			// a message with the data received.
			callback := tgbotapi.NewCallback(update.CallbackQuery.ID, update.CallbackQuery.Data)
			if _, err := bot.Request(callback); err != nil {
				panic(err)
			}

			// And finally, send a message containing the data received.
			msg := tgbotapi.NewMessage(update.CallbackQuery.Message.Chat.ID, update.CallbackQuery.Data)
			if _, err := bot.Send(msg); err != nil {
				panic(err)
			}
		}
	}
}

func main() {
	bot, err := tgbotapi.NewBotAPI(os.Getenv("TELEGRAM_APITOKEN"))
	if err != nil {
		log.Panic(err)
	}

	bot.Debug = true

	log.Printf("Authorized on account %s", bot.Self.UserName)

	u := tgbotapi.NewUpdate(0)
	u.Timeout = 60

	updates := bot.GetUpdatesChan(u)

	for update := range updates {
		if update.Message == nil { // ignore non-Message updates
			continue
		}

		msg := tgbotapi.NewMessage(update.Message.Chat.ID, update.Message.Text)

		switch update.Message.Text {
		case "open":
			msg.ReplyMarkup = numericKeyboard
		case "close":

func (config DocumentConfig) files() []RequestFile {
    // We can have multiple files, so we'll create an array. We also know that
    // there always is a document file, so initialize the array with that.
	files := []RequestFile{{
		Name: "document",
		Data: config.File,
	}}

    // We'll only add a file if we have one.
	if config.Thumb != nil {
