Setting up Telegram Bot Notification

Open your Telegram app, and chat with @botFather

Enter /newbot to create a new bot

Enter the bot display name. ex. your_bbgo_bot

Enter the bot username. This should be global unique. e.g., bbgo_bot_711222333

Botfather will response your a bot token. Keep bot token safe

Add TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN in your .env.local file, e.g.,

TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=347374838:ABFTjfiweajfiawoejfiaojfeijoaef

For the telegram chat authentication (your bot needs to verify it's you), if you only need a fixed authentication token, you can set TELEGRAM_BOT_AUTH_TOKEN in the .env.local file, e.g.,

TELEGRAM_BOT_AUTH_TOKEN=itsme55667788

The alerting strategies use Telegram bot notification without further configuration. You can check the pricealert yaml file in the config/ directory for example.

Run your bbgo.

Open your Telegram app, search your bot bbgo_bot_711222333

Send /auth and then send your auth token to get authorized.

Done! Your notifications will be routed to the telegram chat.

Authenticating yourself with OTP

BBGO supports one-time password (OTP) authentication for Telegram, so you can auth yourself by the one-time password.

When you run your bbgo with the telegram token first time, it will generate an otp token in a PNG file (named otp-xxxx.png) and also the console output.

You should store the otp token in a safe place like 1Password.

In order to save the OTP secret persistently, you should configure your BBGO with redis, simply add the following config to your bbgo.yaml:

persistence:
  json:
    directory: var/data
  redis:
    host: 127.0.0.1
    port: 6379
    db: 0
