I know that a bot can be created in a telegram if you send the command /newbot to the bot @BotFather. But to do this, you need to take your device, open Telegram, open a chat with @BotFather and send him the command /newbot. Can all of the above be done programmatically?
P.S.: this is not laziness, but an attempt to optimize the solution.
Yes, it's possible to create such interaction with mtproto libraries (pyrogram, telethon, madelineproto, etc...)
Here is a PoC script using telethon (python3 -m pip install -U telethon first to install the dependency):
from telethon import TelegramClient, events
api_id = ...
api_hash = "..."
client = TelegramClient('session', api_id, api_hash)
BOT_NAME="..."
BOT_USER_NAME="..." # must end with -bot
@client.on(events.NewMessage)
async def message_handler(event):
if 'Please choose a name for your bot' in event.raw_text:
await event.reply(BOT_NAME)
elif 'choose a username for your bot' in event.raw_text:
await event.reply(BOT_USER_NAME)
elif 'Done! Congratulations on your new bot' in event.raw_text:
print("Bot created!")
await client.disconnect()
async def main():
await client.send_message('botfather', '/newbot')
with client:
client.loop.run_until_complete(main())
client.run_until_disconnected()
You acquire the app_id and app_hash values from https://my.telegram.org/
and here is telethon's doc.
