Include in your urls.py the django_telegrambot.urls
#urls.py urlpatterns = [
... url(r'^', include('django_telegrambot.urls')), ...]
Then use it in a project creating a module telegrambot.py
in your app
#myapp/telegrambot.py # Example code for telegrambot.py module from telegram.ext import CommandHandler, MessageHandler, Filters from django_telegrambot.apps import DjangoTelegramBot
import logging logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
# Define a few command handlers. These usually take the two arguments bot and # update. Error handlers also receive the raised TelegramError object in error. def start(bot, update):
bot.sendMessage(update.message.chat_id, text='Hi!')
- def help(bot, update):
- bot.sendMessage(update.message.chat_id, text='Help!')
- def echo(bot, update):
- bot.sendMessage(update.message.chat_id, text=update.message.text)
- def error(bot, update, error):
- logger.warn('Update "%s" caused error "%s"' % (update, error))
- def main():
logger.info("Loading handlers for telegram bot")
# Default dispatcher (this is related to the first bot in settings.DJANGO_TELEGRAMBOT['BOTS']) dp = DjangoTelegramBot.dispatcher # To get Dispatcher related to a specific bot # dp = DjangoTelegramBot.getDispatcher('BOT_n_id') #get by bot identifier # dp = DjangoTelegramBot.getDispatcher('BOT_n_token') #get by bot token # dp = DjangoTelegramBot.getDispatcher('BOT_n_username') #get by bot username
# on different commands - answer in Telegram dp.add_handler(CommandHandler("start", start)) dp.add_handler(CommandHandler("help", help))
# on noncommand i.e message - echo the message on Telegram dp.add_handler(MessageHandler([Filters.text], echo))
# log all errors dp.add_error_handler(error)
