Telegram weather bot

This is code of my Telegram bot for weather: https://t.me/kobuleti_weather_bot

It uses weather data from https://meteoblue.com and https://openweathermap.org

Requirements

To run this code, you have to create api_keys.py file in project folder with such variables:

OPENWEATHERMAP_ORG_APP_ID = 'your-openweathermap.org-app-id'
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN = 'your-telegram-bot-token'

So you have to create account on https://openweathermap.org, and also create bot in Telegram.

Run on AWS Lambda

My bot is hosted on Amazon Lambda. If you want host it there too:

• Create AWS Lambda function

• Use python 3.9 runtime for it

• Create API gateway trigger in your Lambda and use it as a webhook for telegram bot using such HTTP request:

  https://api.telegram.org/bot*your-bot-token-here*/setWebhook?url=*lambda-trigger-url-here*
  

• Add pandas layer (version 3) to your Lambda function

• The sole python library which doesn't exists in this layer is pillow and it must be contained in libs_for_aws_lambda folder, so install pillow to this folder:

  pip install Pillow --target libs_for_aws_lambda --upgrade --python 3.9 --only-binary=:all:

Run locally

If you want to run this code locally, you need to install python libraries boto3, pillow and requests:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Please note that you must have Amazon AWS account and login into it from your browser because this bot uses Amazon AWS DynamoDb as a database for your preferences.

Then run

python main.py
