Ah, my fellow Python enthusiast! I'm thrilled to assist you in creating a Telegram bot to add members. Python is the perfect choice for this task. Let's get started!
First, we need to install the `python-telegram-bot` library, which provides an easy-to-use interface for Telegram bot development. Open your terminal and run the following command:
```python
pip install python-telegram-bot
```
Once the installation is complete, let's dive into the code!
```python
import logging
from telegram.ext import Updater, CommandHandler
# Enable logging for debugging purposes
logging.basicConfig(format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s',
level=logging.INFO)
# Define your bot token here
TOKEN = "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN"
# Create an instance of the Updater class
updater = Updater(token=TOKEN, use_context=True)
dispatcher = updater.dispatcher
# Define the "/addmember" command handler
def add_member(update, context):
chat_id = update.message.chat_id
user_id = update.message.from_user.id
# Check if the user is an admin or a member with the necessary privileges
if context.bot.get_chat_member(chat_id, user_id).status in ['administrator', 'creator']:
new_member_id = context.args[0] # Assuming the user provides the member's ID as an argument
# Add the member to the chat
context.bot.add_chat_member(chat_id, new_member_id)
# Send a confirmation message
context.bot.send_message(chat_id=chat_id, text=f"New member (ID: {new_member_id}) added successfully!")
else:
context.bot.send_message(chat_id=chat_id, text="Sorry, you do not have the necessary privileges.")
# Register the command handler
add_member_handler = CommandHandler('addmember', add_member)
dispatcher.add_handler(add_member_handler)
# Start the bot
updater.start_polling()
```
Remember to replace `"YOUR_BOT_TOKEN"` with your actual bot token obtained from the BotFather on Telegram.
This code sets up a Telegram bot using the `python-telegram-bot` library. It defines a command handler for the "/addmember" command, which checks if the user executing the command is an admin or has the necessary privileges. If so, it extracts the new member's ID from the command arguments and adds them to the chat using `add_chat_member`. Finally, it sends a confirmation message.
