In this Article, I'll show you how to create a Telegram bot that can help improve the performance of your AdlinkFly script. Telematic bots are a great way to interact with your followers and automate tasks. They're a great way to add some extra value to your URL shortenng service. We'll go over everything you need to know, from setting up an account to integrating your Telegram bot with your AdlinkFly script. Lets get started.
How to Get Your Bot Token
To create a new bot, you must first speak with BotFather. No, he's not a human; he's a bot who serves as a leader of all Telegram bots.
1. Search for @botfather in Telegram.
2. Start a conversation with BotFather by clicking on the Start button.
3. Type /newbot, and follow the prompts to set up a new bot. The BotFather will give you a token that you will use to authenticate your bot and grant it access to the Telegram API.
Make sure you store the token securely. Anyone with your token access can easily manipulate your bot.
How to Set Up Your AdlinkFly Bot
Goto Replit and create an account.
Then create a new Repl. Select Node.js as Template and Give a suitable Title to your Repl.
Now Paste the below Nodejs code to your Repl.
const TelegramBot = require('node-telegram-bot-api');
const axios = require('axios');
const fs = require('fs');
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send('Hello World!');
});
const port = 3000;
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Server running at http://localhost:${port}`);
});
// Retrieve the Telegram bot token from the environment variable
const botToken = process.env.TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN;
// Create the Telegram bot instance
const bot = new TelegramBot(botToken, { polling: true });
// Handle /start command
bot.onText(/\/start/, (msg) => {
const chatId = msg.chat.id;
const username = msg.from.username;
const welcomeMessage = `Hello, ${username}!\n\n`
+ 'Welcome to the URL Shortener Bot!\n'
+ 'You can use this bot to shorten URLs using the mybios.eu.org service.\n\n'
+ 'To shorten a URL, just type or paste the URL directly in the chat, and the bot will provide you with the shortened URL.\n\n'
+ 'If you haven\'t set your MyBios API token yet, use the command:\n/setarklinks YOUR_MYBIOS_API_TOKEN\n\n'
+ 'Now, go ahead and try it out!';
bot.sendMessage(chatId, welcomeMessage);
});
// Command: /setarklinks
bot.onText(/\/setarklinks (.+)/, (msg, match) => {
const chatId = msg.chat.id;
const userToken = match[1].trim(); // Get the API token provided by the user
// Save the user's MyBios API token to the database
saveUserToken(chatId, userToken);
const response = `MyBios API token set successfully. Your token: ${userToken}`;
bot.sendMessage(chatId, response);
});
// Listen for any message (not just commands)
bot.on('message', (msg) => {
const chatId = msg.chat.id;
const messageText = msg.text;
// If the message starts with "http://" or "https://", assume it's a URL and try to shorten it
if (messageText && (messageText.startsWith('http://') || messageText.startsWith('https://'))) {
shortenUrlAndSend(chatId, messageText);
}
});
// Function to shorten the URL and send the result
async function shortenUrlAndSend(chatId, Url) {
// Retrieve the user's MyBios API token from the database
const arklinksToken = getUserToken(chatId);
if (!arklinksToken) {
bot.sendMessage(chatId, 'Please provide your MyBios API token first. Use the command: /setarklinks YOUR_MYBIOS_API_TOKEN');
return;
}
try {
const apiUrl = `https://your-adlinkfly-url/api?api=${arklinksToken}&url=${Url}`;
// Make a request to the MyBios API to shorten the URL
const response = await axios.get(apiUrl);
const shortUrl = response.data.shortenedUrl;
const responseMessage = `Shortened URL: ${shortUrl}`;
bot.sendMessage(chatId, responseMessage);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Shorten URL Error:', error);
bot.sendMessage(chatId, 'An error occurred while shortening the URL. Please check your API token and try again.');
}
}
// Function to validate the URL format
function isValidUrl(url) {
const urlPattern = /^(|ftp|http|https):\/\/[^ "]+$/;
return urlPattern.test(url);
}
// Function to save user's MyBios API token to the database (Replit JSON database)
function saveUserToken(chatId, token) {
const dbData = getDatabaseData();
dbData[chatId] = token;
fs.writeFileSync('database.json', JSON.stringify(dbData, null, 2));
}
// Function to retrieve user's MyBios API token from the database
function getUserToken(chatId) {
const dbData = getDatabaseData();
return dbData[chatId];
}
// Function to read the database file and parse the JSON data
function getDatabaseData() {
try {
return JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('database.json', 'utf8'));
} catch (error) {
// Return an empty object if the file doesn't exist or couldn't be parsed
return {};
}
}
Run the Repl and check your Telegram Bot if its working or not?
In my case it is working fine!
Now check whether it is giving correct outputs for the given inputs.
So, everything is working properly but there is a problem that the Repl you have created will stop after an hour!
How to fix this issue
For solving this issue we have a free solution called UpTime Robot. So, create an account for free in uptime robot and follow the process below.
Click "Add New Monitor" and select monitor type as "HTTP(s)". Then fill the friendly name and the url of your Repl you have created earlier.
Hit "Create Monitor" and the problem is solved.
Uptime Robot will keep hitting your Repl server with an interval of every 1 minute for 30 seconds which helps to keep the Repl Running.
