Telegram Bot Integration

Interact directly with Telegram Bot API to check messages and send content to chats. Scripts use Nix shebangs to automatically provide dependencies.

Checking Inbox Messages

Use scripts/check_messages.py to retrieve new messages.

What it does:

  • Polls Telegram API for new updates
  • Downloads photos and documents to ~/Downloads/ (or TELEGRAM_DOWNLOAD_DIR)
  • Displays message details (chat ID, user, timestamp, content)
  • Marks messages as read after displaying

Usage:

env TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN="$(pass api/telegram)" ./scripts/check_messages.py
