Zero hardcoded secrets: 3 flexible authentication modes in wconnect.

Hardcoding API tokens in source code is an invitation to security breaches. wconnect offers 3 elegant authentication strategies, including deep native integration with the encrypted WAuth vault.

Here is how you implement Triple Authentication Architecture in production with wconnect:

from wauth import WAuth
from wconnect import Wtelegram

# Mode 1: Encrypted Vault (Zero cleartext on disk)
vault = WAuth(db_path="./my_secrets.db")
bot_vault = Wtelegram(auth_instance=vault)

# Mode 2: Twelve-Factor Environment Variable (Auto-detects TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN)
bot_env = Wtelegram()

# Mode 3: Explicit Parameter Injection
bot_direct = Wtelegram(token="8823336064:AAE2sky0B4vOD5_z2cKsDekv4T9LSKiSlGA")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Why This Matters:

  • Zero boilerplate decorators (@bot.on_command, @bot.on_message, @bot.consumer).
  • Stream binary files directly from RAM using WFile.
  • Non-blocking daemon poller with run_consumers(block=False).
