Lynx (Node.js Telegram Bot)

Lynx is a a simple Telegram bot made in Node.js.

• You can find Lynx at @LynxBR_bot on Telegram.

Requirements

• A Telegram bot (create one at @BotFather)
• Node.js 20 LTS (or above)
• Python 3 (or above, for use with SpamWatch API)
• Python dependencies: use pip install -r requirements.txt
• Node.js dependencies: use npm install

Run it yourself, develop or contribute with Lynx

First, clone the repo and init the submodules with

git clone https://github.com/lucmsilva651/lynx
cd lynx
git submodule update --init --recursive

Next, inside the repository directory, go to props folder and create a config.json file with the following content:

{
  "botToken": "0000000000:AAAaaAAaaaaAaAaaAAAaaaAaaaaAAAAAaaa",
  "admins": [0000000000, 1111111111, 2222222222]
}

• botToken: Put your bot token that you created at @BotFather, as the example above.
• admins: Put the ID of the people responsible for managing the bot (as the example above). They can use some administrative + exclusive commands on any group.

After editing the file, save all changes and run the bot with npm start.

• To deal with dependencies, just run npm install or npm i at any moment to install any of them.

Note

• Take care of your config.json file, as it is so much important and needs to be secret (like your passwords), as anyone can do whatever they want to the bot with this token!
