How can Python be used to facilitate a Telegram Bot that sends a specified video to a designated email address?

edit

1. Import the necessary Python libraries and modules. These may include the telegram API library, the email module, and the email.mime library.

2. Set up the Telegram bot API and get the necessary API key. This will involve creating a bot using the Telegram Botfather and getting the corresponding token.

3. Set up a webhook or polling system that will listen for incoming messages and commands from the Telegram user.

4. Once the user sends a command requesting for a video to be sent to an email address, parse the message and extract the necessary information, such as the email address and the video ID or URL.

5. Use the YouTube API or another video streaming platform API to download the video or get its URL.

6. Use the email module and the email.mime library to create an email message and attach the video file to it.

7. Send the email message using the email module and the SMTP protocol.

Here is sample code that integrates the telegram API and the email module to send a video to an email address:

import telegram
import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.base import MIMEBase
from email import encoders

# Set up the Telegram bot API
bot = telegram.Bot(token=API_TOKEN)

# Define the function that sends the video to the email
def send_video_to_email(email, video_id):
    # Use the YouTube API to get the video URL
    video_url = get_video_url(video_id)

    # Download the video file using requests or another library
    video_file = download_video(video_url)

    # Create the email message
    message = MIMEMultipart()
    message['Subject'] = 'Video from Telegram'
    message['From'] = EMAIL_ADDRESS
    message['To'] = email

    # Attach the video file to the email message
    attachment = MIMEBase('application', 'octet-stream')
    attachment.set_payload(video_file)
    encoders.encode_base64(attachment)
    attachment.add_header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment', filename='video.mp4')
    message.attach(attachment)

    # Send the email using SMTP
    server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
    server.starttls()
    server.login(EMAIL_ADDRESS, EMAIL_PASSWORD)
    text = message.as_string()
    server.sendmail(EMAIL_ADDRESS, email, text)
    server.quit()

# Define the Telegram bot command handler
def handle_command(update, context):
    message_text = update.message.text
    chat_id = update.message.chat_id

    # Parse the message text and extract the email and video ID
    email = extract_email(message_text)
    video_id = extract_video_id(message_text)

    # Call the function to send the video to the email
    send_video_to_email(email, video_id)

# Set up the webhook or polling system to listen for commands
if __name__ == '__main__':
    updater = Updater(token=API_TOKEN, use_context=True)
    dispatcher = updater.dispatcher
    dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler('send_video', handle_command))
    updater.start_polling()
    updater.idle()
