Anything like that for Telegram? Not necessarily by you, I mean in general. I know it supports bots so this should be possible.

None that I know of but it should be fairly easy in telegram. It perfect for chatbots! Integration with WhatsApp was the hardest part really. I know there used to be a version for Facebook messenger[1] though.

Is the Whatsapp Api hard to work with? Or does it require using private APIs?

Not op but Twilio has a whatsapp integration, and it seems pretty straightforward.

WhatsApp has recently announced their plans for their API after a very long beta program (open to enterprise companies only). They will not be working directly with customers but have chosen 20+ partners through which their API will be available (e.g. Twilio).

At the time of building this project this was not yet available. And automating WhatsApp was somewhat of a hassle.
