Telegram Bot

Description

This is a telegram bot that can be used as a template for personal telegram bot.

Telegram API Token Generation

1. First you will need to create a personal telegram account and then search for @BotFather. Then type the command - /newbot

2. After that, enter the username for the bot.

3. The @BotFather will give you the API Token for the bot.

Getting started with the Telegram-Bot

1. Make sure you are in the project directory:

    cd /path/to/telegram_bot
   

2. Install the requirements:

    pip3 install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Creating config.yaml file manually - This could be skipped as running the bot without this file will automatically generate it for you.

token: <put the bot token here>
bot_admin: <bot admin username>
trusted_users: <trusted user's username>

1. The bot.py will also generate the saved folder inside the project directory.

   • Here all the files will be stored that the trusted_users and admins send to the bot via telegram.

2. Run the bot:

    python3 bot.py
   

3. To Stop the bot:

    ctrl + c
