Bug: During polling, deleting the already-set webhook, caused the `TelegramBotPolling#_getUpdates()` return an unexpected value. We expect the method to return an array (in the `.then()` clause). However, deleting the webhook returns its value, which is an object, from the method `_getUpdates()`. Fix: Simply retry the polling request and return the promise. Notes: Should we use recursion? I do not think so. Why? The chances of getting the error (having a webhook set) AGAIN is quite rare. And if it happens, there must be some problem with different instances invoking polling and webhook simultaneously. In that case, we wont struggle to recover from such a scenario.

Node.js module to interact with official Telegram Bot API. A bot token is needed, to obtain one, talk to @botfather and create a new bot.
Installation:
npm install node-telegram-bot-api
Sample Usage:
var TelegramBot = require('node-telegram-bot-api');
// replace the value below with the Telegram token you receive from @BotFather
var token = 'YOUR_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN';
// Create a bot that uses 'polling' to fetch new updates
var bot = new TelegramBot(token, { polling: true });
// Matches "/echo [whatever]"
bot.onText(/\/echo (.+)/, function (msg, match) {
// 'msg' is the received Message from Telegram
// 'match' is the result of executing the regexp above on the text content
// of the message
var chatId = msg.chat.id;
var resp = match[1]; // the captured "whatever"
// send back the matched "whatever" to the chat
bot.sendMessage(chatId, resp);
});
// Listen for any kind of message. There are different kinds of
// messages.
bot.on('message', function (msg) {
var chatId = msg.chat.id;
// send a message to the chat acknowledging receipt of their message
bot.sendMessage(chatId, "Received your message");
});
