## Overview

This repository scrapes Telegram’s Bot API documentation and produces JSON specifications for downstream library generation. The principal workflow is to fetch and parse the documentation, extract method and type details, validate the extracted schema, and write JSON output. The README also identifies the generated-library use case. The sampled source shows the scraper and validation flow; unsampled implementation details are not expanded here.

Main entry points: [`scrape.py`](https://github.com/paulsonoflars/telegram-bot-api-spec/blob/main/scrape.py) (Scraper entry point), [`api.json`](https://github.com/paulsonoflars/telegram-bot-api-spec/blob/main/api.json) (API specification)
