Telegram Moviebot

Telegram chat bot that tells you where to stream a movie.

Built using the wonderful python-telegram-bot library and the TMDB and Streaming Availability APIs. It's not a very talkative bot, but it does one task and it does it well.

Requirements

Streaming Availability API token
TMDB API token
Telegram Bot Token
Computer/VPS with an internet connection. No open ports required :)

Getting Started

Regardless of how you run it, the program expects the above API tokens to be available as the below environment variables:

SA_API_TOKEN
TMDB_API_TOKEN
TG_BOT_TOKEN

Optional environment variables:

TG_BOT_USER (default empty) - Limit bot interaction to a single user.
STREAMING_COUNTRY (default "us") - Choose any ISO 3166 country code supported by the Sreaming Availability API
TG_DEBUG (default False) - Enable debug logging. WARNING: Will slow down your bot, use only for testing.

Docker

One-liner:

docker run \ 
--env TMDB_API_TOKEN=$TMDB_API_TOKEN
--env SA_API_TOKEN=$SA_API_TOKEN
--env TG_BOT_TOKEN=$TG_BOT_TOKEN
skoobasteeve/telegram-moviebot:main

docker-compose:

---
version: 3
services:
  telegram-moviebot:
    container_name: telegram-moviebot
    image: skoobasteeve/telegram-moviebot:main
    environment:

      - STREAMING_COUNTRY= # (optional) Default "us"
      - TG_BOT_USER= # (optional) Limits access to the bot to a single Telegram user
      - TG_DEBUG= # (optional, True/False) Verbose debug logging. Default False.

How to use

Once your bot is set up, simply open a new conversation with the bot and type /start.

Next, type the name of the movie you're looking for.

Most of the time, you'll find your movie on the first try. However, you can further narrow your search by specifying the -year flag followed the the release year.
