NodeJS script that reads new BitcoinTalk forum posts and sends them to a Telegram channel, group, or megagroup.

First, make sure you get API TOKEN from core.telegram.com. Alternatively, you could set up a new bot in @BotFatherand then you will be provided with a TOKEN such as:

500000000:TTTXDtEyy__ANNNNN1NNNNN3-lNNNNNNNNNN

Second, create a new Telegram Channel or group and get its ID. Check out this link to learn more.

Third, set API TOKEN and channel or group's ID in bot.js editing following lines:

const api = new TG({
    token: 'YOUR TOKEN',
    updates: {
        enabled: true
}
})

const channel = -1000000000 // your channel, group or megagroup
const bitcointalk_URL = 'https://BitcoinTalk.xxxxxxxx.io';

Finally, run node bot.js.

To perform this bot, the following dependencies are required:

  "fs": "^0.0.1-security",
  "request": "^2.88.2",
  "telegram-bot-api": "^2.0.1"

If you want to see how this bot works, join @bitcoinTalkChannel. This is an unofficial forum channel where all new posts are received.

BitcoinTalk does not have an official REST API from which to retrieve posts. As a result, I have set up an Unofficial API where the last 760 threads have been posted, but it is not public yet. I hope to set up free access to it soon.
