# asciifacesbot

Telegram Bot [@asciifacesbot](https://telegram.me/asciifacesbot) that allows you to append ascii faces to your messages ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯

## Backend

Bot runs on [Google App Engine](https://cloud.google.com/appengine/)

## Telegram API

Bot replies to every incoming webhook and doesn't send requests to the API directly

## How to run your own `asciifacesbot`

- Download and install [App Engine SDK](https://cloud.google.com/appengine/downloads)

- Register your app in [Google Cloud console](https://console.cloud.google.com)

- Register your bot via [BotFather](https://telegram.me/BotFather)

- Rename `sample_app.yaml` to `app.yaml` and replace `YOUR_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` with your bot token

- Set up webhook by running something like `curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"url":"https://{yourappid}.appspot.com/{YOUR_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN}"}' https://api.telegram.org/bot{YOUR_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN}/setWebhook`

- Run `gcloud app deploy app.yaml --project yourappid` in the project folder

- `¯\_(ツ)_/¯`
