Better ChatGPT Telegram bot

This is a telegram bot which uses EdgeGPT to post queries and get the response. This bot cannot be shared publicly since its uses your browser cookies to authenticate you as bing needs you to be logged in. So you should have your own bot using own browser cookie. This code is a modified and improved version of bing-telegram-bot by amazingpaddy.

Credit goes to the developers of EdgeGPT, who ingeniously reverse-engineered Bing Chat using browser cookies.

Prerequisites:

• Accessible to Bing chat (If you are in waiting list, this bot does not work)
• Telegram App (latest version)
• Python 3.11
• Edge browser - As of now bing chat only works in Edge browser. But there are extensions available to enable the chat in other browser as well.

What is working and not working

• option to choose to get response with or without reference links (/ask vs. /askref).
• option to start a new topic (/newtopic)

Steps to have your own bing chatbot.

step 1:

Clone or download this code to any directory.

git clone https://github.com/federicotorrielli/better-chatgpt-telegram-bot

step 2:

install requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

step 3:

install Cookie Editor extension in your browser.

step 4:

Navigate to the Bing Chat webpage where you can post queries and receive responses.

Ensure that you have not reached the chat limit, then export your cookie using the Cookie Editor extension.

The cookie JSON string will be copied to your clipboard. Save the cookie JSON in a file called "cookies.json" in the same directory where you cloned the code.

step 5:

Follow this blog -* *How to Generate a Token for Telegram Bot API ** to generate a create a bot and generate token to use it in the code. If you are unable to read the blog in normal mode, use the incognito mode of your browser.

step 6:

Update the token in the code, BOT_TOKEN. And also update the cookie.json with correct path in the code. After updating the details, run the python script - bingbot.py using an IDE or command prompt.

Update your telegram id in the authorized_id list in the code. authorized_id = ['<your telegram username without @>']. **You can give access to your closed ones by adding their id to the list. But its not recommended. **

For example, if my telegram userid is @exampleuserid, then update the list like authorized_id = ['exampleuserid']

Use the below command to run bot code

python bingbot.py

step 7:

Test the code using bot. If you follow the steps to create telegram bot, you might have got the bot link from botFather, Use the link to open the bot and click start.

Use /ask <your query> to post a query and send it. The response will not have any reference links.

if you want the response with reference, use /askref <your query>

Wait 20 seconds to recieve response. You need to keep running the server in your laptop or cloud for bot to be working.
