Telegram Bot Starter (Python)
by Bot-Hosting Python Utility & Tools Official A Telegram bot on aiogram 3 that greets and echoes messages, with dozens of examples to grow from. Just paste your BotFather token.
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
- Open @BotFather in Telegram and send
/newbot. - Choose a name and a username ending in
bot. - BotFather replies with a token like
123456:ABC-DEF.... That is yourBOT_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.
