Imagine waking up every morning to a message on your phone, informing you of the latest price drops on your favorite products. No more endless browsing, no more missed deals. You can have this superpower with a simple price monitoring bot, built using Python and Telegram.
Getting Started with Telegram Bots
To start building our bot, we need to create a Telegram account and talk to the BotFather, a bot that helps us create new bots. After creating our bot, we'll receive an API token that we'll use to interact with the Telegram API. We'll also need to choose a library to interact with the Telegram API in Python - python-telegram-bot is a popular choice.
