🚀 Free Telegram Channel Scraper

Scrape messages effortlessly from public Telegram channels! 📢

This scraper fetches messages by their IDs, which are auto-numbered starting from 1. Just specify a range, and let the scraper do the rest.

Not sure of the latest message ID? Start small (e.g., 10 to 20) and expand based on your results. Some messages may require the Telegram app and will be skipped automatically with a warning in the logs.

🛠️ Tips & Tricks

• Start Small: Unsure of the last message ID? Start with a small range like 10-20.
• Handle Delays: Increase requestHandlerTimeoutSecs if you encounter timeouts.
• Check Logs: Review logs for warnings about skipped messages or proxy issues.
• Public Only: This scraper works for public channels only. Private channels require app-based access.

🚨 Limitations

• Restricted Messages: Some messages can't be accessed without the Telegram app.
