KTU Notifier

Gives Notifications of KTU announcements from their site using a Telegram Bot ( http://t.me/ktunotifbot )

Workflow

Python Version 3.7 (last checked working)

Instructions to create your own version of this bot

• Clone the Repo.
• Install the requirements.txt using pip.
• Create a new Telegram Bot using BotFather in telegram.
• Create a Firebase Realtime Database for handling subscribers and storing notifications cache.
• Make a file named .env in the root folder and add the line TOKEN=XXXXXX (Your telegram bot token).
• Also add the firebase credentials to the .env file.
• Run bot.py in your system and you'll see that the bot starts responding to commands on Telegram.
• Your bot should work as long as you have bot.py running.
• You can host it to Heroku to run forever using instructions at https://github.com/michaelkrukov/heroku-python-script.

Big thanks to @nandakishormpai2001 for adding an NLP based filterer that checks for relevancy of each KTU Notification
