Unofficial Google Search Bot for Telegram

Telegram bot (support both inline/chat) that return search results (web/image) from Google

What's Different in This Version

This version uses the google-search-results library instead of Google's Custom Search API, which means:

• No API key required ✅
• No daily quota limits ✅
• Unlimited searches ✅
• Uses web scraping (may be rate-limited by Google)

How to use

Clone and host your own bot. The setup is simpler without needing Google API credentials.

Run instruction

git clone https://github.com/abnjo/Toooogle
cd Toooogle
pip install -e .
PYTHONPATH=src python3 src/app/__init__.py

You might want to do this in a venv env

After setting up these you'll have to fill in your config.json with your Telegram bot token

Hosting on pythonanywhere

One easy option to host the bot freely is on PAW. In your web console you should set the source directory to src and modify the WSGI config file based on the sample given in this repo (misc/pythonanywhere_com_wsgi.py)

config.json

This file holds constants that should be kept outside of the repo. config.json should be a text file of valid serialized JSON. The following fields must be present:

• telegram_bot_token
  • Your telegram bot token. You need to obtain it via @BotFather following the instructions outlined at https://core.telegram.org/bots
• allow_only_users
  • You could limit who could use the bot hosted by you. You can either whitelist a user by id or username. Example: [999999,"fancy_user"] would allow the 2 users to use your hosted bot. An empty list would allow all
• paw_app
  • Useful only when you are hosting on PAW (See Hosting on pythonanywhere for more details)
  • url
    • The URL of your web app
  • webhook_secret
    • Any string, must be valid URL character
