Download documents by terms looking in a Telegram channel

DL-Telegram-by-file-attachment

Abandoned, looking for contributors as I am not using it anymore. Check https://github.com/Dineshkarthik/telegram_media_downloader.

This tool automatically download a file (document) from a Telegram channel based on terms to search on.

The service used to get Telegram content has a RPM limit of 15 requests per minute but the script can check if the file is already present and not download it again.

Installation & Use

Make sure to have Python3 installed on your system: you can follow the instruction to get it straight from the Python website.

Clone this repository and rename config-sample.ini to config.ini then open the renamed file and change the configuration as you wish.

The parameters you can set are:

• name is the channel name you want to download from (only the name, not the whole URL)
• pages is the number of pages to search for documents to download
• filter allows you to filter the file type to download
• download is the folder where the downloads are stored

To use the tool simply run downloader.py.

Filters for specific files

Hello and first let me say thanks for this. I was wondering if it is possible to use filters to match certain files/titles. Could you explain how i could use this to monitor a channel and auto download all files titled "free.pdf"

I presume i could just set this to run on cron or something.

Thanks

Private channels

Can you implement api_id / api_hash, so its possible to download from private channels?

doesn't work, can you help me?
