Bot framework

This is a lightweight bot framework that can be used for creating bots on a variety of different platforms.

Then just:

npm install
npm start

You will need to set up the a bot on telegram. See this page:

https://core.telegram.org/bots for an intro; https://core.telegram.org/bots/api for all the doc. Then edit your telegramKey in api_integrations/telegram_api_integration.

For the facebook Messenger bot, follow this guide to set up the bot:

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/quickstart Then edit the verifyToken and pageToken in api_integrations/facebook_messenger_api_integration.

Dealing with webhooks on local machine:

Simply install localtunnel on local machine

npm install -g localtunnel

Then run the localtunnel with a predetermined subdomain. e.g:

lt -p 3000 -s botmastersubdomain //for example

-l is for the localhost we want to point to. -p is the port and -s is the subdomain we want. In this case, your url will be: http://botmastersubdomain.localtunnel.me.

So if you specified messenger's webhook endpoint to, say, /messenger/webhook1234/, you will have to set up the webhook for your demo app at:

http://botmastersubdomain.localtunnel.me/messenger/webhook1234/
