Telebuzzed Backend

This repository contains the backend code for Telebuzzed, a directory website for discovering Telegram bots, channels, and groups. The backend is built using Node.js with Express, Mongoose for database management, and JWT for authentication.

Features

Express: For handling API routes and middleware.
Mongoose: Object Data Modeling (ODM) for MongoDB.
JWT Authentication: For secure user login and session management.
Multer: For handling file uploads.
Cloudinary: For managing media storage in the cloud.
Cheerio: For web scraping capabilities.
Bcrypt: For secure password hashing.

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/TerminalWarlord/Telebuzzed-Backend.git
cd Telebuzzed-Backend

Install the dependencies:
```
npm install
```

Create a .env file in the root directory with the following variables:

PORT=your_port
MONGODB=your_mongodb_uri
JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret
CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME=your_cloudinary_name
CLOUDINARY_API_KEY=your_cloudinary_api_key
CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET=your_cloudinary_api_secret

Start the server:
