PacktPub Free Ebook Telegram Bot

This is a simple bot that sends PacktPub's current free ebook offer to a Telegram chat.

Building

On unix based systems, run ./build.sh on the root of the project.

Instalation

This bot expects a config.json file to be present at the same directory as itself, with the following contents:

{
    "token": "<your-bot-token>",
    "chat_id": <the-chat-id-to-send-the-message-to>,
    "use_eu_url": true/false
}

Note: The use_eu_url flag changes the message's link to the EU free offers website instead.

This bot does not run automatically, but you can configure a service in you operating system of choice to run it periodically.
