# py-telegram-notifier

[![PyPI Downloads](https://static.pepy.tech/badge/py-telegram-notifier)](https://pepy.tech/projects/py-telegram-notifier)

A tool using the Telegram Bot API for sending messages to a Telegram chat by
a context manager, function call, or CLI.

## Purpose

The purpose of this module is to provide a simple way to send messages to a Telegram chat using the Telegram Bot API. 
This is especially useful for long-running automation scripts, where the user may not be around to check the logs.

This is not a wrapper for the Telegram Bot API, but rather a utility for notifying users of enter/exit events with a 
context manager.

## Installation

pip install py-telegram-notifier

## Requirements

In order for the module to function, you must supply it with a bot
[token](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#authorizing-your-bot) and a
[chat id](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#getupdates). Full instructions on creating a bot
can be found [here](https://core.telegram.org/bots#3-how-do-i-create-a-bot).

## Usage

Firstly, set up the config for your Notifier. Bot token and chat id are required and must be set as environment 
variables (`TELEGRAM_TOKEN` and `TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID`, respectively). It's strongly recommended to use a git-ignored `.env` 
file for this purpose, an example file can be found [here](https://github.com/jon-edward/py-telegram-notifier/blob/main/.env.example).

### As a context manager

```python
import dotenv
from telegram_notifier import Notifier

# Load environment variables
dotenv.load_dotenv()

with Notifier("Test case") as notifier:
    # Enter message fired
    notifier.send_message("This is a progress update")
# Exit message fired
```

### As a function call

```python
import dotenv
from telegram_notifier import Notifier

# Load environment variables
dotenv.load_dotenv()

notifier = Notifier()
notifier.send_message("Test message")
# Does not need to be used as a context manager
```

### As a CLI

```bash
TELEGRAM_TOKEN=0000000000 TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID=0000000000 python -m telegram_notifier "Test message"
```

## Notes

This module treats all messages as `MarkdownV2` by default, and escapes known reserved characters. See [`Notifier.send_message()`](https://github.com/jon-edward/py-telegram-notifier/blob/main/telegram_notifier/notifier.py) for more information.
