## What is a Telegram Bot
Bots are small applications that run entirely within the Telegram app. Users interact with bots through flexible interfaces that can support any kind of task or service.
_You can read more about bots in the official documentation:_
[Bots](https://core.telegram.org/bots)
[Telegram Bot API](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api)
## [Demo Bots](https://github.com/dkoleev/telegram-bots/tree/main/demo)
Demo bots from python-telegram-bot [Examples](https://docs.python-telegram-bot.org/en/stable/examples.html)
## My Bots
## [Word Meaning Bot](https://github.com/dkoleev/telegram-bots/blob/main/word_meaning_bot.py)
This bot shows phonetic, meaning, and pronunciations for entered words.
### How to use:
1. Find this bot in Telegram by the name `@WordExplainBot`.
2. Enter the word you need the explanation in the chat with the bot.
### How it works:
This bot uses [Free Dictionary API](https://dictionaryapi.dev/).
After getting a message from a user, the bot sends the request to `Free Dictionary API`
```python3
def get_meaning(word):
url = f'https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/{word}'
r = requests.get(url)
if r.status_code == 200:
data = r.json()
return format_respone(data)
else:
return f"Sorryy, I couldn't find the meaning of '{word}'."
```
Parse the result and send it back to the user.
## Host bots
You can host your bots on a `third-party host` or `your own`.
### Third-party hosts
There are many choices for hosts. For example:
* Heroku
* [PythonAnywhere](https://www.pythonanywhere.com/)
* AWS (Amazon Web Services)
* Google Cloud Platform
I'd recommend you start with `PythonAnywhere` because of its simplicity and free plan.
### Own host
I use [Raspberry Pi 5](https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-5/) for hosting my bots.
