m4rr / money_bot

Docker-containered bot. Added to a group chat, she replies to any message containing price and currency pattern. Live!

Money Bot for Telegram

Bot is handy in group chats. She looks for the currencies in chat context and converts $, €, ₽, CAD currencies to opposite ones (based on Open Exchange Rates). Opposite ones are set empirically.

For example:

• someone sent to a chat bought a backpack for $119 free shipping
• she replies 7691 ₽

Start chat with @USDRUB_bot in Telegram. Ask '$1', '5€' or even '100 RUB'.

$ echo "BOT_TOKEN = 'YOUR_TOKEN'" >> money_bot/token.rb       # Telegram Bot Token from @BotFather

$ docker build -t m4rr/money_bot .                        # Build Docker image

$ docker run -d --name money_bot --restart=always m4rr/money_bot           # Run Docker container
