Football Telegram Bot with API GREECE

ΝΑ ΜΙΛΑΕΙ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ

I want a Telegram bot dedicated to Football (Soccer) that pulls its information from a reliable sports API. Your job is to handle every step from connecting the bot API key (συνδεση bot API KEY) to delivering clean, documented code that I can deploy on my own server.

Core needs
• Securely integrate my Telegram bot token and the sports-data API key.
• Fetch football data on demand and format concise, readable messages for users (e.g., latest match results, quick player look-ups, upcoming fixtures—exact commands can be finalized together).
• Simple command structure: users should be able to type a keyword or tap a button and get an instant reply.
• Clear instructions on how to add new API endpoints or commands later.

Preferred stack is Python with python-telegram-bot or Node.js with Telegraf, but I’m open to your recommendation as long as it is well-supported and easy for me to maintain.

Please include:
1. Brief outline of your proposed tech stack.
2. Timeline to deliver a working prototype.
3. Any past Telegram or sports-data integrations you have completed.

I will test by inserting my own keys, issuing sample commands, and verifying that the bot responds accurately and without downtime.
