scottbpc/telegram-catbot repository overview

⁠CatBot (Dog Friendly)

CatBot (Dog Friendly) is a Telegram bot with several cat-related (and, by popular demand, dog-related) features:

• /cat: posts a random cat pic
• /catfact: posts a random cat fact
• /dog: posts a random dog pic
• /dogfact: posts a random dog fact

It's publicly available on Telegram as https://t.me/randomcatrobot⁠, but with no guarantees of stability or uptime.

⁠Configuration

Running the code requires the following environment variables to be set:

• TELEGRAM_TOKEN: Bot API token taken from The Botfather on Telegram
• CAT_FACTS_KEY: API key for the RapidAPI Cat Facts API (see thanks section for URL)

⁠Docker

You can find Docker containers here: https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/scottbpc/telegram-catbot⁠
