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.
