How to Use Telegram Auto Reply

Posted on Edited on Disqus: Word count in article: 2.7k Reading time ≈ 2 mins.

As a man, there are many reasons why you must reply within 59 seconds, otherwise, something bad will happen.

Fortunately, Telegram provides an API.

  1. Obtain your developer token in this instead of a bot token.
  2. Install Telethon using pip3.
  3. RTFM to get Py working.

Telethon

1
pip3 install -U telethon --user

On Catalina, importing telethon will immediately abort without any other useful logs, and I spent the whole afternoon trying to solve this problem.

  • I tried switching Python versions with pyenv, but it didn’t work.
  • I ran it on Ubuntu, and it worked fine.
  • I finally found it here, OpenSSL was missing.

cd /usr/local/lib
mv libssl.dylib libssl_bak.dylib
mv libcrypto.dylib libcrypto_bak.dylib
sudo ln -s libssl.1.0.0.dylib libssl.dylib

        await asking(random.choice(annoyingStrings))
        i = random.randrange(12*hour, 24*hour)
        time.sleep(i)

with client:
    client.loop.run_until_complete(main())

Anyway, the functionality of the list template is not enough to keep the conversation going for more than 1 minute.

Her.msg -> telethon -> AI bot
Her <- telethon <- bot.msg

It may be a good solution 🌚🌚🌚
