What it does
Santala Bot is a market companion for Telegram. It answers in seconds with data from CoinGecko and Binance, and works the same in a private chat and in a group. There is no sign-up: open the bot or add it to a group.

How it works
The bot queries CoinGecko for prices and market data, Binance (spot and futures) for charts and derivatives, Alternative.me for the Fear & Greed index, and the CoinDesk, Cointelegraph and Decrypt RSS feeds for headlines. Alerts are checked every 45 seconds; the pump/dump scanner runs every 5 minutes with a 6-hour cooldown per coin so it does not repeat itself.
In groups, personal commands (/port, /alerts, /watch) reply ephemerally when the bot is an admin, so only the person asking sees their portfolio. Tables (/comp, /top, /watch, /port) render as rich messages on recent clients and as monospace text on older ones.
Data and privacy
- Stored on our own server: your settings (fiat, timezone, language), alerts, watchlist and the positions you type into the portfolio. Nothing else.
- Your portfolio is never sent to a third party. The AI brief is generated from aggregated market data only, never from your positions.
- No tracking, no ads, no data sales. Premium payments use Telegram Stars and are handled by Telegram.
Price and limits
The bot is free. The free plan includes up to 5 active alerts and 15 watchlist coins. Premium (100 Stars for 30 days, /premium) removes those limits and enables the AI brief.
Technology
Python 3 with python-telegram-bot 22, pandas and mplfinance for charts, aiohttp for the Mini App and SQLite as the database. It runs as a systemd service on our own server, with an offline test suite.

FAQ
Does it work in groups?
Yes. Add it to the group; market commands answer everyone, personal commands answer only the sender when the bot is an admin. /summary turns on the group's daily digest.
Where does the data come from?
CoinGecko (prices, market), Binance spot and futures (charts, derivatives), Alternative.me (Fear & Greed) and the CoinDesk, Cointelegraph and Decrypt RSS feeds (headlines).
Is this financial advice?
No. The bot shows data and, in the AI brief, an automatic summary of that data. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell.
