Installation

If you have previously scanned QR code and already have session.json or session.data.json file, it is strongly recommended to rename ‘session.json’ to ‘session.data.json’ and copy it into Valor Bot folder/repository.

• Edit Owner Number '919971107409' and Replace with Own Number in config.js file

  global.owner = [
  ['919971107409', 'Dinesh_Valor🇮🇳', true]
  

• Edit X-Team API key '493053acc612476f' and replace with own X-Team API key in config.js file

  global.APIKeys = { // APIKey Here
  // 'https://website': 'apikey'
  'https://api.xteam.xyz': '493053acc612476f',
  

  (You can also edit and make changes, such as package name, author name, etc in config.js file)
