Telegram: 8. Webhook Setup

The following tutorial shows how to use CallbackTelegramInterface that makes your bot accessible through a public webhook.

See CallbackMessengerInterface for more information.

# installing dependencies
%pip install -q dff[telegram] flask

Note: you may need to restart the kernel to use updated packages.

import os

from dff.messengers.telegram import (
    CallbackTelegramInterface,
)
from dff.pipeline import Pipeline
from dff.utils.testing.toy_script import TOY_SCRIPT_ARGS, HAPPY_PATH
from dff.utils.testing.common import is_interactive_mode

To set up a webhook, you need a messenger and a web application instance. This class can be configured with the following parameters:

• app - Flask application. You can pass an application with an arbitrary number of pre-configured routes. Created automatically if not set.

• host - application host.

• port - application port.

• endpoint - bot access endpoint.

• full_uri - full public address of the endpoint. HTTPS should be enabled for successful configuration.

interface = CallbackTelegramInterface(token=os.environ["TG_BOT_TOKEN"])

pipeline = Pipeline.from_script(
    *TOY_SCRIPT_ARGS,
    messenger_interface=interface,
    # The interface can be passed as a pipeline argument
)

# testing
happy_path = HAPPY_PATH


def main():
    pipeline.run()


if __name__ == "__main__" and is_interactive_mode():
    # prevent run during doc building
    main()
