Telegram Integration

[stav]

The bot should be able to:

1. login as a user (or a bot)
2. listen to any chat the user is a member of
3. parse messages for specific patterns
4. create orders for selected exchanges

There are few ways to connect to Telegram:

• GrammY library (native deno support, bots only)
• GramJS library (Webpack deno hack, user login)
• Telethon library (Python, microservice needed)
• JunctionBot service (not free, requires bot)

GramJS is not a viable option as the hack is not reliable.

There are a few service configurations:

• JunctionBot + GrammY (easiest)
• Telethon + Telegram + GrammY (safest)
• Telethon + socket (fastest)

On February 10th the decision was made to write a Telethon micro-service in Python which communicates via HTTP.

The JunctionBot will also be used (in the beginning) to allow forwarding of any channels that use "Protected Content".

If we can write our own JunctionBot then we can get rid of the client/server architecture and just use Grammy.
