logr4y / tgscrape Goto Github PK

Hello,
Is it possible to export the results of tgscape_cli.py into a csv file?
Thanks!
Rich

I'm guessing this is happening when the program encounters deleted messages?

To reproduce:

python3 tgscrape.py OSMIndia

Output: (irrelevant parts redacted)

> Telegram Public Groups Scraper

Writing to ./conversations/osmindia.json...
ERROR: list index out of range
Exiting...

errors out after the 5th or so message. Increasing max_err in config.py isn't helping.

This is happening even when supplying start and end numbers in cases where there was something amiss in between.

This is an awesome project - kudos to the author. We really need to ensure the conversations happening today make their way to the open internet where someone a decade later who doesn't know anyone is able to find relevant material amongst these chats.

When I run this:

python .\tgscrape.py "fun_with_friends"

this is what I get:

Is something outdated or so?

I am getting 500 errors every now and then

and also this after restart:

ERROR: time data '' does not match format '%Y-%m-%d'
