🤖 VK bot framework for Node.js, based on Bots Long Poll API and Callback API.
$ npm i node-vk-bot-api -S
const VkBot = require('node-vk-bot-api')
const bot = new VkBot(process.env.TOKEN)
bot.command('/start', (ctx) => {
ctx.reply('Hello!')
})
bot.startPolling()
const express = require('express')
const bodyParser = require('body-parser')
const VkBot = require('node-vk-bot-api')
const app = express()
const bot = new VkBot({
token: process.env.TOKEN,
confirmation: process.env.CONFIRMATION,
})
bot.on((ctx) => {
ctx.reply('Hello!')
})
app.use(bodyParser.json())
app.post('/', bot.webhookCallback)
app.listen(process.env.PORT)
There's a few simple examples.

Create bot.
// Simple usage
const bot = new VkBot(process.env.TOKEN)
// Advanced usage
const bot = new VkBot({
token: process.env.TOKEN,
group_id: process.env.GROUP_ID,
execute_timeout: process.env.EXECUTE_TIMEOUT, // in ms (50 by default)
polling_timeout: process.env.POLLING_TIMEOUT, // in secs (25 by default)
// webhooks options only
secret: process.env.SECRET, // secret key (optional)
confirmation: process.env.CONFIRMATION, // confirmation string
})
Add simple middleware.
bot.use((ctx, next) => {
ctx.message.timestamp = new Date().getTime()
next()
})
Add middlewares with triggers for message_new
event.
bot.command('start', (ctx) => {
ctx.reply('Hello!')
})
Add middlewares with triggers for selected events.
bot.event('message_edit', (ctx) => {
ctx.reply('Your message was editted')
})
Add reserved middlewares without triggers.
bot.on((ctx) => {
ctx.reply('No commands for you.')
})
Send message to user.
// Simple usage
bot.sendMessage(145003487, 'Hello!', 'photo1_1')
// Advanced usage
bot.sendMessage(145003487, {
message: 'Hello!',
lat: 59.939095,
lng: 30.315868,
})
Start polling with optional callback.
bot.startPolling(() => {
console.log('Bot started.')
})
Get webhook callback.
// express
bot.webhookCallback(req, res, next)
// koa
bot.webhookCallback(ctx, next)
Helper method for reply to the current user.
bot.command('start', (ctx) => {
ctx.reply('Hello!')
})
