Snapmatic Webservice

A lightweight web service for receiving your Snapmatic pictures and sharing them in your Telegram group in real-time.

When the server is started and the Telegram credentials are configured, one endpoint is exposed for listening to Snapmatic pictures. They are expected to come as form-data filetype.

Here is an example curl for testing purposes:

$ curl -F "file=@/somedir/somepic.jpg" localhost:3000/picture -XPOST

Once a new picture is received and properly processed, it's sent as a JPG file to your Telegram bot.

Usage

1. Install dependencies

$ sudo npm install -g typescript@latest
$ npm install

2. Fill the config.ts file with the following information:

• TG_API_KEY: Telegram bot API Key.
• TG_CHAT_ID: Telegram chat ID.

You can also set the values by environment variables.

3. Start the server:

$ npm start

Alternatively, you may want to run it using Docker:

$ docker build -t "snapmatic"
$ docker run --rm -it -p 3000:3000/tcp snapmatic:latest
