# Telegram-news

Python program package for automatically fetching news and pushing by telegram bot.

# Simple Start

First of all, install telegram_news:
```shell script
pip install telegram_news
```

In a Python file, write:

```python
from telegram_news.template.common import *

# Your bot token gotten from @BotFather
bot_token = os.getenv("TOKEN")
# Add your bots into a channel as administrators
channel = os.getenv("CHANNEL")
# Your database to store old messages
DATABASE_URL = os.getenv("DATABASE_URL")

# Create a database session
engine = create_engine(DATABASE_URL)
db = Session(bind=engine.connect())

# The news source
url = "https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Main_Page"
tag = "Wiki News"
table_name = "wikinews"

# Info extractor to process data format
ie = InfoExtractor()
ie.set_list_selector('#MainPage_latest_news_text > ul > li')
ie.set_title_selector('#firstHeading')
ie.set_paragraph_selector('#mw-content-text > div > p:not(p:nth-child(1))')
ie.set_time_selector('#mw-content-text > div > p:nth-child(1) > strong')
ie.set_source_selector('span.sourceTemplate')
ie.max_post_length = 2000

# News postman to manage sending affair
np = NewsPostman(listURLs=[url, ], sendList=[channel, ], db=db, tag=tag)
np.set_bot_token(bot_token)
np.set_extractor(ie)
np.set_table_name(table_name)
np.poll()
```
