Sequence of file link Robot Generate is just numbers about filesbot HOT 9 OPEN

I think, need a database if this needs to be implemented.

No, it’s not needed, you can use some algorithms

from filesbot.

If I have bot username, I will generate all links like
https://t.me/FilesBot?start=view_12_tg
https://t.me/FilesBot?start=view_109_tg

and see the files users forwarded to bot

but this way, Random users can only access Files, if they have exact word in link

from filesbot.

@SpEcHiDe time to use uuid :-)

Uhm, it makes sense

Wait, it’s not possibile with an algorithm without using a db. Sorry I was wrong.

I’m thinking about it, let’s see if I find something

from filesbot.

it is not impossible, ideally you can use any algorithm which supports 2 way hashing (and returns a hash less than 64 characters), but I think not using a DB is over-engineering the problem..😅

from filesbot.

Yeah but:

1. 2 way hashing is useless: everyone can access any file
2. In order to use DB on heroku you have to use Heroku’s own DB, and this prevent the bot to be hosted in other places

Also, if we’ll use a 2 way hashing, I’d like to use my own base26 encoding, that encodes every int in a string composed by only a-z lowercase letters

2. I think we can override DATABASE_URL but I am not sure about it.
