How bot works

• Bot requests and receives data (posts) from VK via vk api (get.wall method).
• Then the bot compares ID from last_known_id.txt with ID of the last received post.
• If the ID from the file is less than the ID of the received posts, bot will parse and send new posts to Telegram and write the new ID to the file.
• The bot then waits for the period set by the user in config.py and starts again.

Open config file and update the following variables:

tg_channel = "@aaaa"
tg_bot_token = "1234567890:AAA-AaA1aaa1AAaaAa1a1AAAAA-a1aa1-Aa"
vk_token = "00a0a0ab00f0a0ab00f0a6ab0c00000b0f000f000f0a0ab0a00b000000dd00000000de0"
vk_domain = ["aaa", "bbbb"]

• tg_channel is link or ID of the Telegram channel. You must add bot to this channel as an administrator!
• tg_bot_token is token for your Telegram bot. You can get it here: BotFather.
• vk_token is personal token for your VK profile. You can get it here: HowToGet.
• vk_domain is part of the link (after vk.com/) to the VK channel. For example, if link is vk.com/durov, you should set = ["durov"]. You can use multiple channels.

If Telegram is not available in your country, you should update these variables.

proxy_enable = True
proxy_login = "bot"
proxy_pass = "12345"
proxy_ip = "myproxy.com"
proxy_port = "1234"

Open file last_known_id.txt and write the ID of the last post (not pinned!) into it:

• For example, if the link to post is https://vk.com/wall-22822305_1070803, then the id of that post will be 1070803.
