This repository serves as a template for creating a new Telegram bot using Python. It aims to save time for those starting new projects from scratch, and provides a helpful resource for those who are new to the Telegram API and want to learn and understand basic file structure. The repository includes a Pluggable boilerplate that is easy to use and customize for your own project. You can use the repository as a template or fork it to begin a new project. The following are some of the features of this repository:
-
Fully asynchronous code: The code in this repository makes use of libraries such as httpx, aiofiles, pyrogram and mongodb motor to enable fully asynchronous execution. This means that the code can perform multiple tasks concurrently, improving the performance and efficiency of the bot.
-
Pre-built features: This repository contains a range of pre-built plugins, functions, and decorators to assist you in getting started. Some examples include commands for broadcasting, pasting, checking spam counter, evaluating/executing code, checking database and server stats, and more..
-
Pluggable plugins: The code in this repository is designed to be modular and extensible, allowing you to easily add new functionality to the bot by creating and integrating plugins.
-
Ratelimiting: To prevent FloodWait errors, the code in this repository includes ratelimiting functionality that uses the leaky bucket algorithm and the pyrate_limiter library to limit the number of requests that can be made by users in a given time period.
-
MongoDB support: The code in this repository includes support for storing data in a MongoDB database, allowing you to easily keep track of users and channels associated with the bot."
This bot uses the Pyrogram framework, which is based on the MTProto protocol, to communicate with the Telegram API. .
Pyrogram is a modern, elegant , much faster and asynchronous MTProto API (MTproto vs botapi) framework.

( checkout no database branch if you don't want to use database in your bot. )
Upgrading, Updating and setting up required packages in Server.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt install python3-pip -y
sudo pip3 install -U pip
Cloning Github Repository and Starting the Bot in Server.
git clone https://github.com/sanjit-sinha/Telegram-Bot-Boilerplate && cd Telegram-Bot-Boilerplate
pip3 install -U -r requirements.txt
Now edit the config vars by typing nano config.env and save it by pressing ctrl+o and ctrl+x.
Setting up config variables files (config.env)
- Get your API_ID and API_HASH from Telegram.org, BOT_TOKEN from Botfather. You can get user ids for sudo users and owner from MissRoseBot by just using /info command and copying ID value from result.
- To get guide for getting MONGO_URI click here
now you can start the bot by simply typing bash start or python3 -m TelegramBot
The bot will stop working once you logout from the server. You can run the bot 24*7 in the server by using screen or tmux.
sudo apt install tmux -y
tmux && bash start
Now the bot will run 24*7 even if you logout from the server. Click here to know about tmux and screen advance commands.

/start - To get the start message.
/help - Alias command for start.
/ping - Ping the telegram api server
/paste - Paste the text in katb.in -
Sudo User Commands
/speedtest - Check the internet speed of bot server.
/serverstats - Get the stats of bot server.
/stats - Alias command for serverstats.

Codes and structure of this bot is heavily inspired by open source projects like YukkiMusicbot | Userge | TG-FileStreamBot etc..
Special Thanks to
• Dan for creating Pyrogram.
• Starry for guiding and acutebot repository.
• Annihilator for helping me out with pyrogram stuff.
Any type of suggestions, pointing out bug or contribution is highly appreciated. :)
