This is my first post on the platform. There is a task that I want to achieve and I need advises regarding how to achieve it.
My telegram account has thousands of chats with thousands of people that I talked over time. However none of these people are “added as a contact”. But the conversations are there.
I need a windows or MacOs bot which can navigate through my personal chats and private telegram groups to export the telegram handle of the person that I ever connected, talked.
I have simply development skills, I would appreciate if anyone with an experience guided me through this task.
I believe a Pyhton bot would be the right thing to do, but what else it could be an option? A bot that can control my mouse to navigate through my chats and copy everything I need one by one would be another options but I am not sure how can I achieve this.
I am open to all type of advises. Thanks
Native export option from telegram doesn’t work, and I don’t really give access to my telegram to a third party paid bot.
Nope, a (python) Telegram bot can't access your private chats so that won't help.
The only way to achieve this is by creating your own Telegram app using the TDLib Library.
Since you've tagged this with python, I'd suggest taking a look at Telethon.
Telethon allows you to create your own Telegram client that can loop over all your chats using (eg)
iter_dialogs. Then you can extract the needed data from that chat and use it to your liking.
