Telegram_bot

In this project, I built a Telegram Bot that asks random trivia questions based on facts that happened in the past. It also sends you a random Chuck Norris joke every time you type in the command /joke. The main goal is to make a massive use of external API`s by putting into practice the main concepts of Object Oriented Programming, classes, modules, objects and accessing their attributes. The project is built using the TDD technique.

How to find the bot on Telegram

• To find the bot on Telegram, simply download the desktop application and on mobile got to the play store (for andriod) and search for telegram or apple store(for ISO) and download the application.
• Create a Telegram account and simply search for the Bot with the username @notJokesBot.
• Run the command to /start and enjoy using the bot.
• Click this link! to use the bot on the Browser.

You can see a short demo of the Bot /start command in the screenshot below.
