telegram-pusher

This is some dumb thing that will take messages from telegram and relay through https://pusher.com to a web application.

I've provided a simple PHP script that does a channel thing to show a "notification". On my Nexus 6P, if the phone is unlocked, and the page is still loaded while Chrome is in memory, the alert will bring the user to my notification page

Getting Started

• Clone this repo and enter it
• $ virtualenv venv
• $ source venv/bin/activate
• $ pip install -r requirements.txt
• Register with the Telegram Botfather (https://telegram.me/botfather)
• Register with Pusher (https://pusher.com)
• create set_env.sh with the following environment variables and fill them with the corrosponding values
  • telegram_token
  • pusher_appid
  • pusher_key
  • pusher_secret
• $ python pushtest.py
• On your web server, place the index.php file and allow it to get arguments
• edit the index.php to have your pusher appid
• send your bot /start to see if it responds

Demo

• Visit http://t.me/c0dePushNotifyBot and do /start
• You will be given a link to https://dev.c0defox.es/push/?channel=
• Send this link to people you want to recieve the notification
• Post a message to the telegram bot

IDK what will happen if you try to send a message to the bot without doing a /start first
