 Telegram Bot 


## Description

This is a telegram bot that can be used as a template for personal telegram bot.

## Telegram API Token Generation

1. First you will need to create a personal telegram account and then search for `@BotFather`. Then type the command - `/newbot`

1. After that, enter the `username` for the bot.

1. The `@BotFather` will give you the API Token for the bot.

## Getting started with the Telegram-Bot

1. Make sure you are in the project directory: 

        cd /path/to/telegram_bot

        

2. Install the requirements: 

        pip3 install -r requirements.txt

3. Creating `config.yaml` file manually - This step could be skipped as running the bot without this file will automatically generate it for you.

	```yaml

	token: 

	bot_admin: 

	trusted_users: 

	```

	The `bot.py` will also generate the `saved` folder inside the project directory. 

	All the files that the trusted_users and admins send to the bot via telegram chat will be stored here.

4. Run the bot: 

        python3 bot.py

5. To Stop the bot: 

        ctrl + c
