Telegram Bot Starter (Python)

A Telegram bot in Python built on aiogram 3, the most popular modern Telegram framework. It answers /start with a greeting and echoes back everything you send: text, photos, stickers, voice. The perfect base to build your own bot.

1. Create the bot on Telegram

1. Open @BotFather in Telegram and send /newbot.
2. Choose a name and a username ending in bot.
3. BotFather replies with a token like 123456:ABC-DEF.... That is your BOT_TOKEN.

2. Deploy and talk

Paste the token and click Deploy. When the console shows Start polling, open your bot in Telegram and send /start.

3. Make it yours

Your bot's code is examples/echo_bot.py. Edit it from the Files tab or with bh deploy from your computer, then restart. The same folder has many more examples to learn from: inline keyboards, finite state machines, multiple bots, web apps.

The bot uses long polling: no domain or port to configure.
