Bot to get users/chats IDs in Telegram

Give it a try: @my_id_bot.

This is a simple bot written with aiogram 3.x framework to show some IDs, like:

• Your user ID (when asked in inline mode or in private chat with any message);
• Group/supergroup ID (when added to that group or with /id command);
• Channel ID (when message forwarded from channel to one-to-one chat with bot);
• Supergroup ID (when message forwarded from anonymous group admin);
• Topic ID for forum supergroups;
• Sticker ID (they can be re-used with any bot);
• Group to supergroup migrate information (both old and new ID).

Requirements:

• Python 3.9 and newer;
• Linux (should work on Windows, but not tested);
• Systemd init system (optional).
• Docker (optional).

Installation:

Just to test (not recommended)

1. Clone this repo;
2. cd
   to cloned directory and initialize Python virtual environment (venv);
3. Activate the venv and install all dependencies from
   requirements.txt
   file;
4. Copy
   env_example
   to
   .env
   (with the leading dot), open
   .env
   and edit the variables;
5. In the activated venv:
   python -m bot

Systemd

1. Perform steps 1-4 from "just to test" option above;
2. Copy
   my-id-bot.example.service
   to
   my-id-bot.service
   (or whatever your prefer), open it and edit
   WorkingDirectory
   and
   ExecStart
   directives;
3. Copy (or symlink) that service file to
   /etc/systemd/system/
   directory;
4. Enable your service
   sudo systemctl enable my-id-bot --now
   ;
5. Check that service is running:
   systemctcl status my-id-bot
   (can be used without root privileges).

Docker + Docker Compose

1. Get
   docker-compose.example.yml
   file and rename it as
   docker-compose.yml

2. Get
   env_example
   file, rename it as
   .env
   (with the leading dot), open it and edit the variables;
3. Run the bot:
