Telegram save all media from chat/user/channel

README.md

Quick tip. It is possible to download media with small python script.

Goto https://my.telegram.org and generate api id and api hash Install Telethon library with pip3 install telethon Run saveAllMedia.py (replace api_id, api_hash and username with your values).

If you need proxy install https://github.com/Anorov/PySocks pip install PySocks

This code downloads all media from the dialog with username user/chat/channel in current directory.

#uncomment line below if you need proxy
#import socks

api_hash='supersecreethash'

#logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

client = TelegramClient('test_session123123123',
    api_id, api_hash,
    # You may want to use proxy to connect to Telegram
    #proxy=(socks.SOCKS5, 'PROXYHOST', PORT, 'PROXYUSERNAME', 'PROXYPASSWORD')

How can I download from my Saved Messages chat?

Still works. Thank you!
