Lets have some fun with Telegram [Linux|Terminal]

Hi everyone,

I pulled out a small script from another project of mine. This allows you to send messages directly from the terminal to a Telegram chat.

Here is the Code

The only things you need to find out are:

1. 1. the API token -> Ask the BotFather
2. 2. the Chat ID -> curl 'https://api.telegram.org/bot<YourBOTToken>/getUpdates'

I'm going to do a tutorial on this.

Installation

curl -Os https://gist.githubusercontent.com/maxpatternman/5f5fe1d475f1626f4bac752f7c3cb5bc/raw/b9b470c1370cfa3b9de819f657e7ba19b5dbc967/send_to_telegram

chmod +x send_to_telegram

sudo mv send_to_telegram /usr/local/bin/send_to_telegram

sudo nano /usr/local/bin/send_to_telegram

Fill in you API_TOKEN and CHAT_ID

Usage

send_to_telegram 'some cool text'

Deinstallation

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/send_to_telegram

Have fun :)
