telegram-participants-export

A simple tool for exporting Telegram participants.

Currently, only the supergroups are supported.

Requirements

• bun
• Writable local filesystem (we are using tdlib which stores its data in the SQLite database).

Setup

1. Clone the repo.

2. Install dependencies.

   bun install

3. Prepare the configuration parameters.

   export TG_API_ID="12345678" # Telegram API ID
   export TG_API_HASH="00000000000000000000000000000000" # Telegram API Hash
   export TG_BOT_TOKEN="1234567890:Qwertyqwertyqwertyqwertyqwertyqwert" # The bot token from BotFather
   export TG_BOT_ADMIN_USER_ID="1234567890" # Your User ID
   export EXPORTS_DIR="exports" # Where to place the export files

   Save the snippet above in a file called .env and load them into your shell:

   source .env

   If you are on Windows - use another way to set the environment variables.

4. Run the code.

   bun run index.ts

Usage

1. Add the bot to the group you want to export the members for.
2. Send the /export command to the group chat you want to export the members from.
3. Grab the list of the exported users on the server.
