Telegram client for Bobby B Bot

Bobby B Bot - Telegram version

In this repository you can find the Telegram version of the Bobby B Bot.

How to use it

Simply mention the bot's name (Bobby B) in your channel after adding it via this link, and the bot will reply with a random quote.

How to install

1. Create a virtual environment and activate it (this is optional but when working with Python, I cannot recommend it enough) or create a root folder that will hold all the code;
2. Clone discord repository inside this virtual enviroment folder (let's call it 'root') and then clone utils repository. The final structure should be somewhat similar to this:

+ root
└───+ telegram
│     |-- telegram_bot.py
└───+ utils
      |-- __init__.py
      |-- core.py
      |-- logging_config.ini
      |-- quotes.json
      |-- triggers.json

3. Run command pip install -r requirements.txt in telegram directory (this should install the requirements for utils as well, otherwise, you can also run the command in utils folder);
4. Done, you are ready to configure it.

TL;DR Installation:

$ python -m venv <venv_name>
$ cd venv_name
$ source bin/activate
(venv_name) $ git clone https://github.com/bobby-b-bot/telegram.git
(venv_name) $ git clone https://github.com/bobby-b-bot/utils.git
(venv_name) $ cd telegram
(venv_name) $ pip install -r requirements.txt

How to configure and run

1. Create and maintain the .env file for environment variables in root discord folder (ENV = 'TEST' or 'PROD' and Telegram token in variable TOKEN)
2. Create and mantain a logging_config.ini file in utils folder for logging configuration (see documentation);
3. Run the bot (python telegram_bot.py)
4. Have fun!
