telegram-webhook-proxy

Telegrap bot proxy for local webhook.

Useful for local bot developing when need to use webhooks. But it's just a little difficult when IP is not public accessable or Firewall is so angry. Here is a way to use getUpdates, but it's also bad show (try to realise it on PHP or when request-on-response are used).

This tiny programm will helps You. It just getting update using getUpdates method (don't panic: long poll is used) and sends it to hebhook You're specified. Error retrying and request-on-response are honored.

Steps to run:

1. Create dir

mkdir webhookproxy && cd "$_"

2. Clone repo

git clone https://github.com/zhecky/telegram-webhook-proxy.git .

3. Load dependencies

npm install

4. Configure your bot api and callback

nano params.yml

5. Run

node main.js
