To create a Telegram bot that can reply with a download option for TikTok videos, you can use the python-telegram-bot
library along with a TikTok video downloader library such as tiktok-scraper
. Here’s a step-by-step guide to implementing this:
Step 1 Install the required packages:
1 |
pip install python-telegram-bot tiktok-scraper |
Step 2
Import the necessary modules in your Python script:
1 2 3 |
from telegram.ext import Updater, CommandHandler, MessageHandler, Filters import tiktok_scraper as ts import os |
Step 3
Define a function to handle the /start
command:
1 2 |
def start(update, context): context.bot.send_message(chat_id=update.effective_chat.id, text="Hi! Send me a TikTok video link and I'll provide the download option.") |
Step 4
Define a function to handle TikTok video links:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
def handle_tiktok_link(update, context): message = update.message text = message.text # Extract the video ID from the TikTok link video_id = ts.extract_video_id(text) if video_id: # Generate the download URL download_url = f"https://www.tiktok.com/@_/{video_id}" # Send the download option as a reply context.bot.send_message(chat_id=message.chat_id, text=f"You can download the video from here: {download_url}") else: context.bot.send_message(chat_id=message.chat_id, text="Invalid TikTok video link.") |
Step 5Â
Define the main function and set up the Telegram bot:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 |
def main(): # Create an updater object updater = Updater(token='YOUR_API_TOKEN', use_context=True) # Get the dispatcher to register handlers dispatcher = updater.dispatcher # Register the start function as a command handler dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler("start", start)) # Register the handle_tiktok_link function as a message handler dispatcher.add_handler(MessageHandler(Filters.text & ~Filters.command, handle_tiktok_link)) # Start the bot updater.start_polling() # Run the bot until you press Ctrl-C updater.idle() if __name__ == '__main__': main() |
Step 6
- Replace
'YOUR_API_TOKEN'
with your actual Telegram bot API token. - Save the Python script with a
.py
extension (e.g.,tiktok_bot.py
). - Run the script in your terminal or command prompt:
-
1python tiktok_bot.py
Now, when someone sends a TikTok video link to your bot, it will reply with a message containing the download option for that video. The download URL will be provided in the format https://www.tiktok.com/@_/VIDEO_ID
.
