CommuterAssistant

💬 Little chat based assistant to help me catch the next bus to my next destination

Disclaimer

This project is developed solely as a toy project and is not aimed for anything more than that. I do not plan to support multiple countries, a user base or a publicly reachable version of this bot.

Getting started

Telegram

To get your Telegram API key, send a message to BotFather. Once its done you should have a token that looks something like 123456:ABC-DEF1234ghIkl-zyx57W2v1u123ew11, paste it in along with your username like in the following example:

Assistant/Assistant/appsettings.json:

{
  "BotConfiguration": {
    "ApiKey": "123456:ABC-DEF1234ghIkl-zyx57W2v1u123ew11",
    "AllowedUsers": ["your-telegram-username"]
  }
}

Your API key and all of your data will remain private, no data is ever shared outside of your application with any database or any third party system except the Telegram Bot API client.

Once you've set up your credentials, run the run the project Assistant and start messaging your your bot. You should see your messages logged in your console.
