Create a meme archiving bot

Creating a meme archiving bot involves designing a system that can detect, store, and organize memes, possibly from social media platforms, user submissions, or specific sources. Here’s a basic outline and code for a bot that archives memes from a Telegram channel (expandable to Discord, Reddit, etc.).

⚙️ Requirements

• Python 3.8+

• python-telegram-bot

• pillow (optional for image processing)

• sqlite3 or any database for archiving

🧠 Features

• Listens to a Telegram group/channel

• Detects images (memes)

• Saves them locally or to cloud storage

• Stores metadata in a database

• Optional: Web interface or search function

✅ Setup (Python)

bash
CopyEdit
pip install python-telegram-bot pillow

🧾 Code: Meme Archiver Bot (Telegram)

python
CopyEdit
import os
import sqlite3
from telegram import Update
from telegram.ext import ApplicationBuilder, MessageHandler, filters, ContextTypes

# Setup: change your bot token
BOT_TOKEN = 'YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE'
SAVE_DIR = 'memes'
DB_FILE = 'meme_archive.db'

# Create folders and database
os.makedirs(SAVE_DIR, exist_ok=True)

conn = sqlite3.connect(DB_FILE)
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute('''
    CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS memes (
        id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
        file_id TEXT,
        file_path TEXT,
        user_id INTEGER,
        username TEXT,
        timestamp TEXT
    )
''')
conn.commit()

# Handler for photos
async def handle_photo(update: Update, context: ContextTypes.DEFAULT_TYPE):
    photo = update.message.photo[-1]  # Highest resolution
    file_id = photo.file_id
    user = update.message.from_user
    file = await context.bot.get_file(file_id)

    file_path = os.path.join(SAVE_DIR, f"{file_id}.jpg")
    await file.download_to_drive(file_path)

    # Save metadata
    cursor.execute('''
        INSERT INTO memes (file_id, file_path, user_id, username, timestamp)
        VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
    ''', (
        file_id,
        file_path,
        user.id,
        user.username or 'unknown',
        update.message.date.isoformat()
    ))
    conn.commit()

    await update.message.reply_text("📸 Meme archived successfully!")

# Main app
app = ApplicationBuilder().token(BOT_TOKEN).build()
app.add_handler(MessageHandler(filters.PHOTO, handle_photo))

print("🤖 Meme archiver bot is running...")
app.run_polling()

🔒 Security & Filtering (Optional)

• Filter only image formats (e.g., .jpg, .png)

• NSFW detection (integrate with image recognition APIs)

• Duplicate checking via file hash

🗃️ Expansions

1. Add support for videos or GIFs

2. Export meme metadata via API

3. Web dashboard (Flask + SQLite viewer)

4. Integrate Google Drive / S3 for cloud storage

5. Discord or Reddit support (use discord.py or praw)
