a dumb tg bot

evethebot

A handy telegram bot for building other bots

Usage

1. Add the bot as friend: @{your_telegram_bot_id}
2. Ask the bot for your token: /token

Then you can access APIs (with your token):

1. Post message to your chat:

URL: http://{server_addr_you_run_your_bot}/post

Request body:

{
    "token" : "{your token}"
    "msg" : "{your message}"
}

Example:

$ curl -X POST http://0xffff.me:8089/post -d '{"token":"{your token}","msg":"*Hello* World"}'

2. Get recent messages you sent to your bot

URL: http://{server_addr_you_run_your_bot}/message

Request body:

{
    "token" : "{your token}"
    "limit" : 100 // by default
}

Example:

$ curl -X GET http://0xffff.me:8089/message -d '{"token":"{your token}"}' | jq .

Example

Add @eve_is_not_a_bot and have a try:)

@eve_is_not_a_bot is using TiDB Cloud (Free Tier) as backend storage

So? What can we do?

I put 2 examples in demo directory:

1. A BTC-USD pricing live broadcast bot (with the help of crontab) See: btcprice.py
2. A Hackernews bot, notify you when news appears on the HN front page for a specific keyword. See: hnfilter.py
