# Bypass Paywalls Telegram Bot

Unblock web sites with paywalled articles by forwarding links to Telegram!


### Install

1. Clone git repo.
2. Run ```npm i``` in project folder. This will install the required dependencies.
3. Populate .env file with bot token.

#### Bot token can be obtained from @BotFather.

4. Run ```node bot``` to start the bot.

#### It's advisable to run the bot using PM2 or any startup manager for persistent execution, as this ensures you won't have to have the terminal open. You can set up auto-start as well. Or pass a cron job.

#### Alternatively, you can just use my instance at [@nopaywallbot](https://nopaywallbot.t.me).


### Uninstall

1. Use ```rm -rf```.

*Note:* If you're unfamiliar with this command, delete project folder from file explorer.


### Mechanism

The bot detects links and prepends 'https://12ft.io/' to use the 12ft.io service to unblock articles.
