Updating your bot's token

Another management command encapsulated in this package is tgbottoken. This command allows you to update the token for a bot you have created.

Step by step guide

1. Open the Django project with django-tgbot installed in it

2. Enter this command in the command line (terminal / cmd):

   python manage.py tgbottoken
   

3. Enter the username for the bot you want to modify (without @):

   > python manage.py tgbottoken
   Enter bot username: <BOT_USERNAME e.g. botdevtestbot>
   

4. Enter your new API token:

   > python manage.py tgbottoken
   Enter bot username: <BOT_USERNAME e.g. botdevtestbot>
   Enter the bot token (retrieved from BotFather): <YOUR_TOKEN>
   

Your token is updated! If you have set the webhook correctly you can now send messages to your bot and it should respond to the messages.
