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.
