This bot echoes back any text message it receives, providing a simple demonstration of handling messages using the python-telegram-bot library.
- Import necessary modules from the python-telegram-bot library.
- Replace
'your_bot_token'with the actual token of your Telegram bot. - Define a function echo that retrieves the text of the received message and sends back an echo.
- In the main function, create an Updater object with the bot's token and get the dispatcher to register handlers.
- Register the echo handler to handle text messages (excluding commands).
- Start the bot polling for updates.
- Run the bot until a signal to stop is received.
Remember to replace 'your_bot_token' with the actual token of your Telegram bot.
