Error by running app.py

I'm getting the following message by running app.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/configparser.py", line 788, in get
value = d[option]
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/collections/init.py", line 914, in getitem
return self.missing(key) # support subclasses that define missing
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/collections/init.py", line 906, in missing
raise KeyError(key)
KeyError: 'admin_chat_id'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "app.py", line 46, in
adminlist=str(config.get('telegram','admin_chat_id')).split(',')
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/configparser.py", line 791, in get
raise NoOptionError(option, section)
configparser.NoOptionError: No option 'admin_chat_id' in section: 'telegram'

Would be very happy if somebody can help me :)

Access Token Limit reached

Hey! First of all: Thank you for yout great app. I'm using it a lot, made some changes and normally it works very good. But there is one problem from time to time, that the API Call limit is reached and I don't know why. In the log there are some error codes, I don't understand. First, here is the code out of my syslog. I also changed some code in the app.py like the facebook sdk version (I use 3.1) and some linking things, but I don't think they interference with the APP Call limit (I also changed it to 3:50 from 3:40):

Perhaps you understand the errors out of the syslog. When I go to facebook it also shows me that the call count is about 101% at the moment - so it blocks every new call (and also the bot is sending me "Your facebook token might have expired" every call/3:50minute. The token is a never expiring token.

Thank you!
