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_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.
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
