## Setup

1. Download a dataset of photos via the [WikiMap API](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:DB111/Tools#WikiMap), e.g. via:
   ```sh
   wget --restrict-file-names=windows 'https://wikimap.toolforge.org/api.php?cat=Images_with_annotations&lang=de&year=2010-2015&region=49|9|46|18'
   ```
2. Generate a bot API token by sending `/newbot` to [BotFather](https://telegram.me/botfather)
3. Install bot via `pip3 install --user --upgrade location-guessing-game-telegram-bot`
   (or use [docker](https://docker.io) / [podman](https://podman.io), see below)

## Usage

1. Launch bot: `location-guessing-game-telegram-bot --telegram-token-path file-containing-api-token --wikimap-export-path wikimap-export.json`
2. Open a chat with the bot in Telegram by searching for the bot name
   previously sent to [BotFather](https://telegram.me/botfather)
3. Send `/photo`, wait, and repeat
4. Optionally add the bot to a group chat.
