# caFICtería-aaS (bot)

This is the bot that actually scrapes the menus from Telegram and puts them in a JSON file.

## ⚙️ Usage

- `get_history.py` will download all messages on the channel and parse them (2018-now). Should be run when you install everything (I guess you can skip this if you don't love data 😔).
    - This will also include the menus sent in photos during a few days in July 2022 (manually parsed in `menu_photos_history.json`).
- `bot_listen.py` will listen for new messages on the channel, and parse them when received. This is what should be running to fetch the messages received after the initial run of `get_history.py`.
