TrackMyMoneyBot

Simple bot that uses a Telegram API to track financial spendings

Set up

• create a virtual environment inside a root folder

virtualenv --no-site-packages --distribute -p /usr/bin/python3 venv

• enter virtual environment

source venv/bin/activate

• install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

• run migrations

python manage.py migrate

• create a local_settings.py file with your django SECRET_KEY, telegram BOT_TOKEN and APP_URL in main folder. Optionally you can add TIME_ZONE and ACTIVATION_KEY for customization.

To generate BOT_TOKEN you should create a new bot.

Expample:

SECRET_KEY = "my_secret_key"
BOT_TOKEN = "my_bot_token"
APP_URL = "https://my_domain.com"

Using this information, after you start the server, bot will automatically set webhook.

Start server

• enter virtual environment

source venv/bin/activate

• start django server

python manage.py runserver
