A Telegram bot that interacts with users to create orders from an admin updated store. The PyTelegramBotAPI is used to interact with the Telegram API. Store data is stored in a sqlite database and interactions with the database are handled by SQLAlchemy.
- Python 3.10 and up (Should work in 3.9, but you would have to convert
match-casestatements toifstatements) - Cloudinary account (for image uploads), or just modify the code to use a different image hosting service, or just remove the image upload functionality.
Using a virtual environment is recommended.
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activateUse the package manager pip to install the requirements from requirements.txt.
pip install -r requirements.txtCopy the .env.example file to .env and fill in the values.
The project was meant to be hosted on pythonanywhere, so the main.py file is meant
to be run as a flask web app.
To run the bot locally, you can use the bot.py file.
