Telegram Bot 🔥

This project is a bot which posts educational content from a csv file to a telegram group at a sceduled time. We are online most of the times so I thought to use the time for reading educational content .

So I used node js to build this bot and utilized the Telegram Bot API to post messages.

  • Create a new group in telegram , copy the username - That is your GROUP_ID .
  • Mention the time interval in CRON_JOB variable the standard is in hours.
  • I am using my quora scraper to generate the csv file , Quora Scraper
  • Add the file name in the variable - FILE_NAME , make sure to follow name the columms as Question - Answer.
