utility telegram bot

Getting started

To run this bot you will need node and npm. After cloning this repository, install the dependencies, configure the environment and start the server:

npm install
# set up necessary environmental variables (next section)
npm start

To actualy use it in Telegram you should set a webhook pointing to the server.

Configuration

Next are the environmental variables used by this bot. You can set those normally on you environment or use a .env file.

• PORT: server port.
• BOT_KEY: telegram bot token.
• FUMP_TOKEN: ufmg's fump services token.
• TWITTER_TOKEN: twitter app token.
• DEBUG: when present the server will print the message instead of sending it.

Developing

git clone git@github.com:huijari/simons.git
cd simons
npm install
# set up environmental variables
npm run dev # hot reloading

As it starts a local server you can send sample messages directly into it. Also, with the DEBUG variable on, you don't need to use real messages.
