Telegram News Bot (Twitter/X, Facebook, Truth Social*, RSS for Reuters/Bloomberg/etc.)

Goal: push the newest posts about your topic into Telegram.

Quick start

1. Python 3.10+ recommended.
2. pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Copy .env.example → .env and fill tokens.
4. Edit sources.yaml (enable/disable sources, add users/feeds/keywords).
5. Run: python main.py

Notes on sources

• Twitter/X: Requires a paid API v2 token. Set TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN and enable in sources.yaml.
• Facebook: Use a Page access token (long-lived) if possible. Put it in FB_ACCESS_TOKEN and enable.
• Truth Social: There is no stable public API. If your account/server is Mastodon-compatible and you have an access token, set MASTODON_BASE_URL and MASTODON_ACCESS_TOKEN and try enabling. This may or may not work.
• Reuters/Bloomberg/aggregators: Use their RSS feeds with keyword filters. Add the exact RSS URLs you need.

Dedup & persistence

Uses a SQLite DB (data.db) to store seen IDs and since_ids (per source). Safe to restart.
