My goal is to create a Telegram listener on a specific channel that copies new messages and posts them as tweets on Twitter. So far the python I wrote works well when I run it on my computer, when I send a mock message on my Telegram channel, it detects that a message has been sent, goes down the code, and a tweet is created with the text.
However, this is not the case when I try to run in on an AWS instance (ubuntu).
when running the following code:
import tweepy
from telethon import TelegramClient, events
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler("", "")
auth.set_access_token("", "")
api = tweepy.API(auth)
print("start")
# Listen to new messages on Telegram Channel
bot = TelegramClient("bot", api_id, api_hash).start(bot_token=bot_token)
with bot:
print("bot-start")
@client.on(events.NewMessage(chats=ChannelURL))
async def newmessagelistener(event):
print("action detected")
client.start()
client.run_until_disconnected()Things start out ok at the beginning, but then when I write a new test message on the telegram channel - nothing, no "action detected" is returned, only "start" and "bot-start", no tweet is posted.
Any ideas as to what's going on? Thanks in advance!
