This example demonstrates how to setup an echo Telegram Bot using the Serverless Framework ⚡🤖
- A AWS key configured locally, see here.
- NodeJS. I tested with v8.9.0.
- A Telegram account.
# Install the Serverless Framework
$ npm install serverless -g
# Install the necessary plugins
$ npm install
# Get a bot from Telegram, sending this message to @BotFather
$ /newbot
# Put the token received into a file called serverless.env.yml, like this
$ cat serverless.env.yml
TELEGRAM_TOKEN: <your_token>
# Deploy it!
$ serverless deploy
# With the URL returned in the output, configure the Webhook
$ curl -X POST https://<your_url>.amazonaws.com/dev/set_webhook
Now, just start a conversation with the bot :)
