Telegram Bot Integrated with Ollama API

This repository contains the code for a simple Telegram bot that integrates with the Ollama API to process user inputs and provide intelligent responses. The bot is built using the node-telegram-bot-api library and uses axios for HTTP requests.

Features

• Accepts user input via Telegram chat.
• Sends user input to the Ollama API for processing.
• Returns responses generated by the Ollama API to the Telegram chat.
• Handles basic commands such as /start and /stop.

Prerequisites

• Node.js: Ensure you have Node.js installed on your system.
• Telegram Bot Token: Obtain a bot token by creating a bot using BotFather.
• Ollama API: Ensure you have access to the Ollama API and know the endpoint URL.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/AsbDaryaee/telegram-ollama-bot.git
   cd telegram-ollama-bot

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

   OR

3. Create a .env file in the root directory and add the following environment variables:

   TELEGRAM_TOKEN=your-telegram-bot-token
   OLLAMA_API_URL=http://localhost:11434/api/generate  # Replace with your Ollama API endpoint
   PROXY=http://your-proxy-url  # Optional, if you need a proxy

   node server.js

   The bot will start polling Telegram for messages.
