Example Bot from "Build your own bot"-Workshop

Build a simple Python Telegram Bot that displays top news headlines.

We use the python-telegram-bot wrapper and the NewsAPI.org Python client.

Getting Started

1. Create a new bot with Telegram's BotFather (https://t.me/BotFather)

2. Insert the bot's token in bot.py.

3. Register at https://newsapi.org to get your personalized token.

4. Insert NewsAPI token in news_api.py.

5. Set up virtual environment and activate it:

virtualenv -p python3.7 env
. env/bin/activate

6. Install dependencies: pip install python-telegram-bot newsapi-python

7. Run Chatbot: python bot.py

Have fun with your bot!
