Telegram Bot using Pyrogram Template

This is a template for creating a Telegram bot using the Pyrogram library in Python. Pyrogram is a powerful and asynchoronous library for building Telegram bots.

Prequisites

This is not a beginner's guide to making telegram bots. Beginner to Intermediate familiarity with Python3.6+ is recommended.

Obtain all the required API credentials

• Go to https://my.telegram.org/auth
• Follow this guide to obtain Telegram API hash & API key
• Obtain the bot token from https://t.me/BotFather

Configuration

copy the contents of config.env_example to a new file config.env by using the following command:

Windows

copy config.env_example config.env

Linux/maxOS (Unix-like systems)

cp config.env_example config.env

or you can just rename config.env_example to config.env. After that, edit the config.env file and replace the values as follows:

(do not add quotes(" ") symbol in any value)

• in TELEGRAM_SESSION_NAME enter whatever you want as session name in telegram
• enter telegram API Hash in TELEGRAM_API_HASH & API ID in TELEGRAM_API_ID
• enter telegram bot token in TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN
• the VERSION could be anything. It will be printed in the console whenever the bot is deployed.

Installation

1. Clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/JuvenileLad/Telegram_bot_template.git

2. Change to the project directory:

cd Telegram_bot_template

3. Install the required Python packages using pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run the bot:

python3 -m app_name

change all instaces of app_name to the name of your project/bot.

Usage

• Start a chat with your bot on Telegram and send it /start command to interact with it.

Bot Development

You can start building your bot by customizing the app_name/core/main.py file. Pyrogram provides a comprehensive API to interact with Telegram's Bot API, allowing you to handle messages, send replies, and perform various actions. This template follows a modular system in which the utility modules would be inside the app_name/utils folder. There is also a separate folder for database related modules in app_name/db. A plugins folder can also be added if the need arises.
