Introduction Today we will be learning how to create a telegram bot and host it on heroku. Prerequisites A telegram account (duh!) Some experience with Python (for adding more features to the bot) A Heroku account -- Sign up here! A GitHub account -- Sign up here! Create a telegram bot using Father Bot Search for @BotFather on Telegram Send message /newbot The bot will reply asking for a name for the bot, send whatever you like Next we have to chose a username for the bot, this must be unique and must end with bot. Example - test bot , tele bot If the username is not unique, it will ask to enter again. That is it! You will receive a congrats message with a link and a token ( copy paste it somewhere!) Your bot is right now dead and won't respond back :(, it needs a back-end server that is where Heroku comes in. Deploying on Heroku Thanks to Kylmakalle , we have a good starter pack for Heroku telegram bot. Head over to https://github.com/Kyl...
