I built a Telegram movie bot template in Python

I recently built a Telegram bot in Python using aiogram 3 and decided to package it as a developer template for anyone who wants to launch their own movie bot quickly.
What it does:
The bot lets users search for movies by typing any title. It saves every search to a SQLite database and gives each user their personal history and stats via simple commands.
Tech stack:

  • Python 3.11
  • aiogram 3
  • aiosqlite
  • python-dotenv

What's included:

  • Full working bot with /start, /help, /history, /stats
  • Input validation and error handling
  • Step-by-step guide to connect TMDB or OMDb API for real movie data
  • Deploy guide for Railway and Render (free hosting)

I packaged it as a ready-to-sell template for developers who want a clean starting point without building from scratch.
