Telegram Bot for Displaying Currently Playing Music in Status

[Legion2121]

Idea Overview

The idea is to create a Telegram bot that automatically updates a user’s status to show the song they are currently listening to. This would allow friends and followers to see what music a person is playing in real time, similar to how it works in Discord or VK.

How It Works
1. The user connects the bot to their music streaming service (Spotify, Apple Music, VK, YouTube Music, etc.).
2. The bot retrieves data about the currently playing track using the service’s API or alternative methods.
3. The bot updates the user’s status in Telegram or sends a message with the song title.
4. Everything works automatically, with no manual updates required.

Key Benefits
• Automatic Updates – No need to manually change the status.
• Multi-Platform Support – Integration with multiple music streaming services.
• Personalization Options – The bot could allow users to filter what is displayed (e.g., show only specific genres or hide certain tracks).
• Interactivity – Users could share music directly in Telegram or even create and share playlists.

Challenges
• API limitations of music services (some may not provide real-time playback data).
• Telegram does not officially allow bots to change a user’s profile status automatically.
• The bot needs a stable connection to continuously update music status in real time.

Future Potential

If successful, the project could expand to support additional streaming services, advanced customization options, and even features like sharing tracks with friends directly through Telegram.
