Telegram Scraper is a simple script for scraping Telegram chat data which are publicly available. It uses the Telethon library for accessing Telegram API. The scraper runs from a UNIX terminal and is written in Python 3.
For scraper to work you will need to create a Telegram API key (see Use section for more information).
This project is still in development.
Before using you need to create a Telegram API key. You can find more information about creating Telegram API key here. After creating the key you need to create a file named config.ini in the same directory as scrap.py and add the following lines to it:
[Telegram]
api_id = #your api id
api_hash = #your api hash
username = #your usernameAfter that you can run the script with the following commands:
./scrap.py
#runs the main script
./scrap.py -h
#shows help
./scrap.py -c
#generates channel list
