Crypto News Telegram Bot

A simple telegram bot that will help you stay updated on your latest crypto news

This bot will help you keep track of the latest news on your favorite cryptocurrency. It reads multiple RSS feeds and groups all items by currency. These grouped items are then further processed using sentiment analysis.

This analysis can help determine how positive or negative the news situation is.

The latest release is always live at @crypto-news-bot.

Send /start to start the bot. By default, you rss feed list is set to the top 100 crypto rss feeds. You will receive broadcasts from this feed list, once you subscribe to a coin.

• /subscribe subscribe to news based on coins. The bot will then send you the latest news based on your subscription.
• /feed manage your RSS feeds. The bot will fetch and broadcast news from your personal feeds, based on your coin subscription. You can add and remove multiple feeds by providing a comma separated list of rss feed urls.
• /news get the latest news for any coin. personal feeds will also be included (currently for every user).
• /sentiments get an average sentiment from all news, grouped by coin.

Deployment

If you want to deploy your own instance, create a new bot using @BotFather.

1. Rename config-example.yaml to config.yaml
2. Paste your Telegram API Token to config.yaml
3. Manage your default RSS feeds using feeds.csv
4. Run docker-compose up -d to start the bot

Planned

• Huge code refactor to improve performance - remove redundant code - increase consistency
• Improve logging.
• Making keywords configurable by user. Currently, news categorization by currency using a static list of keywords. This list should be configurable.
• Improve news and broadcast presentation for better readability.
• Update instructions and help text.
• Improve sentiment analysis (analyse content and not just the title).
• Add tests
