A Telegram bot that notifies users about newly published documents in local council information systems powered by Allris 4 and the OParl API. This bot was originally developed for the city of Bonn’s council information system, but should work with any Allris 4 instance or, with slight modifications, even other systems that implement the OParl standard.

Currently running as @AllrisBot for Bonn.

• Rust
• Valkey as truly open-source redis alternative
• A Telegram bot token from @BotFather

Clone the repository and build the project:

git clone https://github.com/jdertmann/AllrisBot.git
cd AllrisBot
cargo build --release

See ./target/release/allrisbot --help for usage details.
