lulzbot Telegram Bot - @lulzbot

This bot is using Telegram bot API. It has lot of features. The concept is driven from IRC bot that I used to use for my IRC channels. Look at the commands below to know how to use it.

Note that some features of the actual bot @lulzbot registered on telegram will be missing from here. Like bot administration commands and commands meant for my own personal use. However, they do not break this code nor do they in any way affect the working on this code. They are completely unrelated modules. On request, I can explain how you can write bot administration commands for Telegram bot API.

As of April, I have removed instagram support because Instagram API is being too restrictive now. Hot or Not game is now using imgur r/models

##Derive your own bot from this

  1. First open data/config.ini file and add all the required API keys from various social media sites. For telegram token, contact @BotFather on telegram and create a new bot there. @BotFather will reply provide you the token once the bot is created.

  2. Then you need to make sure you have all the required dependencies. Python 2.7 is required. Apart from that I have provided requirements.txt file and pip command should be able to fetch it all for you.

     $ pip install -r requirements.txt

  3. For debugging, run using python bot.py. If there is a crash, it won't restart. Test all the commands.

  4. For production mode, run ./botmon.sh which will restart bot if it crashes.

  5. Now you can make any changes you want and use it as your own bot in telegram.
