# BitLinker

Just a Telegram bot to shorten your links. Purely written in Typescript using [node-telegram-bot-api](https://github.com/yagop/node-telegram-bot-api).

If you want to see a test flight, you can check out the [@BitLinkerBot](https://t.me/BitLinkerBot) on Telegram.

## Prerequisites:

1. [node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/)

2. [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/)

## Setup

1. Send `/newbot` to [@BotFather](https://t.me/botfather) and follow the instructions to create a bot.

2. Clone the repo.

3. Run `npm install` to install the dependencies.

4. Add an .env file with following content:

   - TOKEN: your bot token (you'll get this from @BotFather on successful bot creation).

   - BITLY_TOKEN: Your Access token for bit.ly, [see more here](https://app.bitly.com/settings/api/).

Your `.env` file should look like this:

```

TOKEN=

BITLY_TOKEN=

```

4. Run `tsc` to compile the code.

5. Run `node bin/main` to run the bot!

### You're all set to go! 🚀
