News-bot is a telegram bot which will show you news from any country, in any language about topics specified by you.
- This bot is trained to fetch news from any country and in any language.
- It is equipped for small talk.
- It is also equipped with a custom keyboard which will show you all the available topics.
- Also, the bot is trained for fuzzy matching i.e. it can identify the topics even if you mispell them.
- E.g. If you mispell "sports" as "sprts","spots" etc, the bot can understand that you meant "sports".
- Top Stories
- World
- Nation
- Business
- Technology
- Entertainment
- Sports
- Science
- Health
It is a Python-Flask application, deployed using Heroku. Shortest way to explain my code:
- I trained the bot using dialogflow.
- Connected a service account from Google Cloud to the code.
- Added gnewsclient which helps the bot fetch news.
- Set up the webhook with Heroku.
