python-telegram-bot VS Red-DiscordBot

We've just gone through some basic examples but I hope you're convinced that creating your own Telegram bot is no tough work! From here on out, you may be interested to check out the documentation for python-telegram-bot to find out more of what you can do with the bot.

We are going to use this https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot package that will help us to create the telegram bot. Make sure to install it with

Nearly all py examples I see (eg examples within this popular package) use polling which I guess would be a separate server to the main Django server (as its a script thats continually running to listen). There's this older package with webhooks but it no longer works.

python-telegram-bot I could not refuse

[Python-Telegram-Bot](https://python-telegram-bot.org/) - for easy access to the [telegram api](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api)

Checkout Telegram Bot API. I used python-telegram-bot wrapper which is amazing. The duckbot was just a joke, the real goal of the project is to make a vocabulary bot so when I'm reading a book I can get quick definitions and add the words to a list that will then have a random word/def sent daily to make sure I'm using new words.

I've developed it using python 3.9 and the library python-telegram-bot which is really awesome. The bot receives updates and messages directly from the Telegram webhook, much better and faster than the hold "polling" method!

it's based on the Python Telegram Bot framework (they call it a wrapper but if you include the extensions it's basically a framework).

I had never heard of that wrapper, but twhile that one seems to be an implementation from the ground up using async and await, the wrapper i made is based on the official python wrapper from telegram and uses a more object oriented approach to ease the developement of bots.

you can start by looking at python-telegram-bot, pyTelegramBotAPI, aiogram. The rest is looking throught the documentation.

What about red?

Red is probably the only real long-term option. If you rely on a public bot, that public bot will eventually get kicked off YouTube. Self-hosting a bot means you're simply going to be too obscure for YouTube to care, and if they eventually go after self-hosted bots then at that point that's going to be a news item that's going to cause a lot of anger and pretty much nothing else at all will be working with youtube anymore.

I've been using Red Bot for music, and a few other things, but you have enough functionality to create many complex rules.

I myself self hosted https://github.com/Cog-Creators/Red-DiscordBot for music

If you are hosting Red Discord Bot. You can install it with instructions below, where [p] = bot's prefix. Some other instructions can be found here

1) why are you late loading fetch? Won't that just hide issues until someone uses the command? https://github.com/EliusHHimel/Slash/blob/main/commands/movie.js#L9 2) re looking for help, why would someone want to contribute to your bot vs something else (ex maybe https://github.com/Cog-Creators/Red-DiscordBot which has a lot of community and stuff)

If anyone else is here looking for self-hosted docker compatible Discord bots, check out RedBot.

I self-host a discord music bot for a few servers, I don't know if they have some docker image.
