Daily Quote Bot

This is a Python script that creates and publishes daily quote images to a Telegram channel. The script fetches a random quote from an API and overlays it on a customizable background image along with a logo.

Prerequisites

Before running the script, make sure you have the following:

• Python 3.x installed
• telebot library installed (pip install pytelegrambotapi)
• requests library installed (pip install requests)
• Pillow library installed (pip install pillow)

Setup

1. Clone this repository or download the script file to your local machine.

2. Obtain a Telegram Bot token by creating a new bot using the BotFather and note it down.

3. Replace the 'YOUR_BOT_TOKEN' placeholder with your Telegram Bot token in the code.

4. Set your channel ID by replacing '@YOUR_CHANNEL_USERNAME' with the username of your Telegram channel.

5. Customize the script according to your preferences:

   • Adjust the image_width and image_height variables to set the size of the background image.
   • Modify the background_color and text_color variables to change the colors.
   • Replace 'path_to_your_font_file.ttf' with the path to your desired font file.
   • Customize the logo text, font size, and color using the logo_text, logo_font_size, and logo_text_color variables.

6. Save the changes.

Usage

1. Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where the script is located.

2. Run the script using the following command:

python main.py

3. The script will continuously fetch a daily quote and publish it to the specified Telegram channel. Each quote will be accompanied by a generated image.

4. To stop the script, press Ctrl + C in the terminal or command prompt.

Note

• Make sure your bot has permission to send messages and photos in the specified channel.

• Adjust the time.sleep() duration to control the frequency of quote publication. The provided script delays for 60 seconds between each iteration.

• Make sure the font file specified in font_path exists at the provided path.

• The script uses the api.quotable.io API to fetch random quotes. Ensure you have an internet connection for successful quote retrieval.
