Two approaches to utilise Telegram Bots:

  • request library
  • python-telegram-bot library

Some Notes:

  • Request library allows the utilisation of bots straight from python without chat commands

Some Uses:

  • Remotely post content to a group using python & store data content found in response.text (when using request library), so the data can be passed on and utilised for analysis etc
