Documentation

The full documentation is at https://django-telegram-bot.readthedocs.org.

Telegram API documentation at https://core.telegram.org/bots/api

Quickstart

Install django-telegram-bot:

pip install django-telegram-bot

Add telegrambot and rest_framework to your INSTALLED_APPS, and run:

python manage.py migrate

After creating a bot in Telegram Platform set token received:

TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN = "token from your telegram bot"

Add webhook url to your urlpatterns:

url(r'^telegrambot/', include('telegrambot.urls'), name="telegrambot")

Define whe file where commands will be defined in commandspatterns variable, analogue to django urls and ROOT_URLCONF:

TELEGRAM_BOT_COMMANDS_CONF = "app.commands"

Set bot commands handlers is very easy just define a module with commandspatterns list of tuples (‘command’, command_view):

commandspatterns = [('start', StartView.as_command_view())

Command views responses with Telegram messages to the user who send the command with a text message and keyboard. Compound with a context and a template. The way it is handled is analogue to Django views. Visits docs for more details https://django-telegram-bot.readthedocs.org/usage.html
