🎉 Inspiration

Over the last couple of months I grew fond of Golang, Telegram and Bitcoin. So I decided to combine those three elements to create something that could get a little bit of each world. Hence, Bitcoin-Telegram-Bot (in Golang) was created

⭐ Getting started

What you will need:

• You are going to need a computer or server where to host the bot.
• Git
• Golang v1.13
• A device with Telegram

💻 Installation

Open a Terminal and copy these commands (Linux & Mac devices):

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/tomassirio/BitcoinTelegramBot.git
cd ./BitcoinTelegramBot
mv .env.example .env
go get github.com/tomassirio/bitcoinTelegram
go run main.go

Warning:

This won't work unless you replace the REPLACE_WITH_TOKEN on the .env file with the Token granted by @BotFather

✅ Add BTB to your Telegram Channel

Open @BotFather on telegram and create a new bot with it's /newbot command.

Assign it a name. This name won't be the one that is shown on each message, so you can name it whatever you want.

@BotFather will grant you a Token. This token is the one that will replace the REPLACE_WITH_TOKEN on the .env.example file on this repository. (Don't forget to rename that file to .env)

You can also play a little bit more with @BotFather. For example you can use the /setcommands to define the uses your bot has on the '/' icon:

price - Gets BTC actual price
historic - Gets a percentage between Today's and Yesterday's price
summary - Gets both the price and historic values

🔋 Usage

Once the bot is running and added to your Telegram Group, you can use any of the following commands:

    * /price : Get's bitcoin's Last price
    * /historic : Gets a percentage between Today's and Yesterday's price
    * /summary : Gets both the price and historic values

🏗️ Contribution Guidelines:

• Make a new branch using git checkout -b change/username
• Commit the desired changes to that branch
