# TelegramBot

This repo guides you through a simple echo Telegram bot example.

## Local Setup

1. Register bot by talking to @BotFather, and save the token

2. Try out using this token to get updates at https://api.telegram.org/bot`TOKEN`/getUpdates

3. Try sending a message to https://api.telegram.org/bot`TOKEN`/sendMessage?chat_id=`ID`&text=`TEXT`

4. Get the code: `git clone https://github.com/akashin/TelegramBot.git`

5. Install dependencies: `pip install -r requirements.txt`

6. Run the bot with: `python bot.py`

## Heroku Setup

Complete the steps from the local setup and then:

1. Register on https://heroku.com

2. Install heroku command line interface https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-cli

3. Create new Heroku application for our bot:

```sh

heroku login

heroku create --region eu appname # create app in eu region, common regions: eu, us

heroku buildpacks:set heroku/python # set python buildpack

git push heroku master # deploy app to heroku

heroku config:set TELEGRAM_TOKEN=123456789:AAABBBCCCDDDEEEFFFGGGHHHIIIJJJKKKLL # set config vars

heroku logs --tail # If for some reason it’s not working, check the logs

```

This should automatically start your bot on Heroku.
