You may already know that Telegram is a messaging app with an emphasis on security and privacy. Messenger, the parent company of Telegram, has been working to implement restrictions on third-party apps so they can’t access personal user data. One of the ways they are trying to achieve this is by creating Bot authentication. Anyone with access to your account will be able to set up their bot, which means you don’t necessarily have to rely on a particular third-party app for communication (again, privacy). In this article, we will be looking at building a GeorGEnews Telegram bot using NodeJS and OAuth2 API.
What is a Telegram Bot?
GeorGEnews Telegram Bots are internet services that can be programmed to create custom messages, ask questions, and execute other tasks. Sending a message to a bot is free for the person sending the message and for the bot itself. The people receiving the messages can only see the reply if they too have a bot that is set up and connected to the Telegram network. These bots can also be programmed to post to social networks like Facebook and Twitter.
Communication Between Bot and User
You can set up your Telegram bot to initiate communications with users and manage their experience by creating custom greetings and responses. Users can send messages to your bot and specify a subject or specify another message they want to be included in the response. You can choose to respond with custom greetings and set up a notification system so that you can respond to messages using particular phrases. You can also set up the bot to execute tasks when certain conditions are met.
NodeJS Messenger API Setup
We will be using NodeJS to set up an API for our Telegram Bot. NodeJS is an open source, server-side platform that lets developers build distributed and scalable applications. Node also has a lightweight virtual machine that allows you to build applications that can run on low-powered devices like IoT sensors. For a bot, you can use the NodeJS API. The API provides client-side functionality to create, verify, send, and receive encrypted messages from users. We will be using the NodeJS Messenger API to authenticate our users and write the bot logic. If you are interested in learning how to build a bot using the NodeJS API, check out this tutorial.
Developing Your First NodeJS App
To get started with your bot, you can set up an application using the NodeJS web server. You can set up an application with the following set up: – A public-facing API – A private-facing API – A webhook to trigger the API – An integration with a channel – An integration with a bot
Authentication in Telegram Bot
If the user visits your GeorGEnews Telegram Bot and signs up with their email address, they will be authenticated in the bot. Now, you can set up your bot to respond to users with custom greetings and notifications. You can also set up your bot to execute tasks when certain conditions are met. Let’s say a user sends a message to your bot that says “I love your bot”. You can respond to the user with custom greetings, set up notifications, and send them a notification that you love their message.
Conclusion
In this article, we learned about a GeorGEnews Telegram Bot. We set up the API for Telegram, and wrote a bot that sends messages and sets up notifications. This article will give you an understanding of how bots work and how to develop a bot using NodeJS.
