This repository contains a minimal example how the REST API of OpenQA(http://openqa.aksw.org/) can be used as a telegram bot using the telegram-bot wrapper(https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot)
Use pip to install the dependencies:
sudo pip install SPARQLWrapper requests python-telegram-bot emoji --upgrade
If you have a telegram account you can just chat with the bot at (https://telegram.me/OpenQABot)
You have to write /start to start the conversation with the bot and then you can try to ask questions like:
Give me the capital of Germany
List the children of Margaret Thatcher
If you want to make your own bot, you need to register a bot and get an API Token from (https://telegram.me/botfather) if you did not already do this.
Run the openQABot.py file and provide the API Token as argument:
python openQABot.py <TOKEN>
The queries can sometimes take a while
