@TelereadsBot is an inline bot that allows you to search for books and quickly share them in a conversation.
You can deploy your own instance of this bot. You will need a few things:
- A Telegram bot token. Contact @BotFather in order to create a new bot and receive a token.
- A Goodreads API key. Apply for one here.
- A working installation of Rust.
Once you have both of these keys, you need to store them as environment variables:
$ export TELEGRAM_TOKEN="123456789:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
$ export GOODREADS_TOKEN="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
And then install and run TelereadsBot:
$ git clone https://github.com/harababurel/telereads.git
$ cd telereads
$ RUST_LOG=info cargo run --release
Aditionally, this repo includes a systemd service file (telereads.service) which can be used to deploy the bot. After setting the proper variables in the service file:
$ systemctl start telereads
$ cargo install telereads
$ RUST_LOG=info telereads
