Hello there! I was trying to fetch information from one of my own groups, but if i share the ID of the chat (without the https://t.me/ of course) it just returns an error. (I replaced the id with CHAT_ID, for obvious reasons

Great idea but I ran your app 2x and it ran successfully, except it did not grab user list and my entire account is gone.
All saved messages, all my chats gone.

I was hunting pedophiles and there was private chats that are now just gone.
Absolutely no way for me to restore months of data.

I do not even know what to say at this point........

I ran archive.py and got the following error:

What am I doing wrong?

requests package is not default installed on all environments. It should be added to requirements.txt.

How to solve the parsing speed problem?
very slow scanning in mode -c

Hi, when I try to run telepathy.py -t the scrip start and run, he create a csv that contain the header and information about my user (and sometime 2 or 3 more users) but crash right after

Hi Jordan!

I have been experimenting with your tool - great concept and I can certainly see a lot of great uses for this.

I am planning to write an article about it on my webpage if that is something you would be okay with? You can see the content I write here: https://os2int.com/toolbox

I have encountered some issues when using the tool. When I deployed forwards.py, no net.csv file is created. The edgelist populates quite nicely. Would you be able to clarify whether this is a bug on my side or whether I have missed something out?

I tried unsuccessfully targeting group chat ID.
Currently script works for channels, but not for groups it seem.
Is it possible to add support to archive and analyse Group Chats?

requirements.txt file no longer exists at the time of this writing.

I tried to build a simple Colab notebook for using the tool (this, it's in German, unfortunately), to make the tool usable for people who are not allowed to install Python on their computers.

This works fine as long as there is no saved login data, if the 1234567.session and telepathy_files/login.txt files exist, the programm crashes:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/telepathy", line 8, in <module>

sqlite3.OperationalError: unable to open database file

I guess there might be a very simple solution to this (apart from deleting the files, and starting from scratch). Have you got an idea?

So when I go to run a basic Telepathy query I get the following:

The API access for bot users is restricted. The method you tried to invoke cannot be executed as a bot (caused by GetHistoryRequest)

Hi, so it looks like there’s a bug in telethon 1.25 which means that for some channels get_messages / iter_messages only returns a 100 items. This is inconsistent, i.e. for some channels you get everything, and for some channels, you only get ~100 messages. (This bug is constantly reproducible for specific channels)

It appears to be fixed in telethon v1.27 though. Happy to raise a PR with the new version, but just wondering if there are any compatibility issues that you’re already aware of that’s a blocker to the update.

Thanks for creating the library — allows me to retire my fragile scripts!

Hi,

thanks for developing this nice tool =)

In the upcoming changes you want to implement the ability to scrape comments in channel posts:

Giving the archiver module the ability to archive comments on channel posts.

This would be a nice feature; do you have an idea when it is ready?

Are there any explanation as to why telepathy's -f (forward) option doesn't work, even though the specified channel contains forwarded messages? The message in the command prompt says "Forwards will be fetched". A folder is created but there are no files inside.

Hello,

I have tried around a dozen times to install Telepathy and successfully connect it to my Telegram account. However, every time I try to run Telepathy (and am prompted to enter my phone number), I get the following error: telethon.errors.rpcerrorlist.ApiIdInvalidError: The api_id/api_hash combination is invalid (caused by SendCodeRequest). I am 100% positive that the credentials I entered are correct. I have tried to set my API ID and Hash as environment variables, but nothing seems to work. Has anyone else encountered this issue? How did you get around it?

I'm not sure if this is related (I am not a coder, full disclosure), but my telepathy never installs on a PATH. Guidance on these issues would be super appreciated, as I need Telepathy for a research project I am doing. Thank you so much in advance!

hi
i try python3 telepathy.py -u telegramID

but any user are uknown :

[+] User details for 1XXXXXX
[!] User not found, this is likely because Telepathy has not encountered them yet.

and after more test banned :

telethon.errors.rpcerrorlist.PhoneNumberBannedError: The used phone number has been banned from Telegram and cannot be used anymore. Maybe check https://www.telegram.org/faq_spam (caused by SendCodeRequest)
Erreur de segmentation (core dumped)

😢
thx for your project, best regard

hi! cant start after api, hash and mobile number asking - see this:

Hello, I have downloaded the repository and installed the dependencies pip3 install telepathy.
I try to start the script with the test command telepathy -t durov but it returns this error telepathy: command not found
I'm running everything from Ubuntu WSL.
Thanks in advance

Love the suite of tools here, having just come from a role that featured quite a few investigations of Telegram. The scripts seem easy to use, but I bet they could be made even easier with a basically CLI around everything. I didn't see a contributing.md in the repo, so I figured I would ask here: would you be interested in me adding a click CLI wrapper around this? I haven't spec'd anything out, and I'm happy to do so - from what I see, I think it could be done in a weekend project.

Really awesome tool, Jordan! I'm really excited to get to know/use it. I'm having an issue when running the setup where it only downloads/installs the v2.0.0 version.

I think this is preventing the overall tool from running properly with the usage commands I input.

Any suggestions?

I'm extremely new to coding and OSINT - if this is a basic user error on my part, I apologize!

what to do about it?

Hello
I am using KALI linux virtual machine
I installed Telepathy according to the tutorial
I moved to the Telepathy folder
And when I try to run the command

I'd love to know why he doesn't recognize Telepathy
And how to solve the problem
And another question I wanted to ask where do I enter the Telegram API details in Telepathy
Thank you

can you share the requirements file to install a stable version of the libraries you use for telepathy?

Hi,

maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I installed Telepathy several weeks ago and just updated it using git pull. Then, I added my API details.

I created a to_archive.csv using libre office on my ubuntu VM. I wrote "To" in the field A1, then saved as csv whithout any further changes.

Then I run the launcher, then choose the archiver.

This is my Terminal:

Pick a number:1
Loading Batch chat archiver ...
Launching batch chat archiver
Welcome to the Telepathy archiving tool. This tool will archive Telegram chats based on a list.
Do you want to print messages to terminal while Telepathy runs? (y/n)y
Do you want to archive media content? (y/n)y
Archiving chats...
List archived successfully
Do you want to archive more groups? (y/n)y
Restarting...

But there is nothing new in my CSV and I don't see any new files in my Telepathy folder or in the folder in which Telepathy is saved in.

As I understand, the tool should have saved a group I'm in. My account is in only one group. Also, that account had never a private chat with anything.

What am I getting wrong?

Hi,

Can you help me please.

So I provide the following:
APP api id
APP api Hash
Mobile number
and then the mobile token.

I then provided the following test command: telepathy -t durov

I then received the following: The API access for bot users is restricted. The method you tried cannot be executed as a bot (caused by GetHistoryRequest)

any advice would be grateful

I'd debug myself but right now lacking the time due to a tight deadline. Happy to provide more details / run more tests if it helps.

Hello, I am using Telepathy in it's last version and Telethon is reported to be the last one too. Last version of python and so on.

The problem I am facing is that after asking me API and phone information, telepathy stops.

Everything seems normal, and later, when I try to make a query, it sends a message to my phone Telegram but instead of prompt for entering this code it shows an unrecoverable error:

root@8826c29fe656:/dataset# telepathy -t durov

It doesn't make sense to me, and after watching the python code I don't know how to solve this.

Hi there, I've seen that telepathy supports getting for example the reaction lists for a file, but can it show the list of user ID who've opened the file? I'm guessing it's somewhere in the API since in a normal channel you can see who has seen your media.

Hi guys,

I have installed Telepathy, and it worked the first time. But now every time I wanna use it, Ill get this error:

Does anyone know why? I am a journalist and have very limited knowledge of Python. I'd be grateful if someone could help me.

Hi,
i use this code to run Telepathy

for channel in channels:
    start = datetime.now()
    os.system('telepathy -t' + channel+' -c')   
    file = open('notes.txt', 'a')
    stop = datetime.now()
    final_time = format(stop - start)
    file.write(final_time+';'+channel+'\n')
    file.close()

but usually don't get all results from all channels as i get:

any idea how to fix it?

Is there an issue on my side that I need to fix? I did a clean install and setup, can't figure out if there is something else.

Would be grateful for any advice.

Hello,

I want to report another issue.

First, I scraped all forwards from a channel. That worked flawlessly. There were some expectations, but that was displayed transparently. Then, I tried to scrape all forwards from that forwards. For a while, it worked. At some point, this occured:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "telepathy.py", line 39, in <module> exec(open("archiver.py").read()) File "<string>", line 164, in <module> File "<string>", line 48, in <module> File "<string>", line 166, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python3.8/asyncio/base_events.py", line 616, in run_until_complete return future.result() File "<string>", line 114, in new_main File "/home/osint/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/telethon/requestiter.py", line 58, in __anext__ if await self._init(**self.kwargs): File "/home/osint/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/telethon/client/messages.py", line 26, in _init self.entity = await self.client.get_input_entity(entity) File "/home/osint/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/telethon/client/users.py", line 432, in get_input_entity await self._get_entity_from_string(peer)) File "/home/osint/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/telethon/client/users.py", line 569, in _get_entity_from_string raise ValueError( ValueError: Cannot find any entity corresponding to "Alternative History 2039"

After that, the scrape stopped. In the generated net.csv are all channels wich were scraped to this point.

Is there a solution?

Thanks in advance,

Best wishes!

Hey Jordan,

Have been still trying to get this running locally. I've tried 3 times starting from scratch and re-cloning and setting up the repo but I consistently get errors when trying to scrape forwarded messages and would love your help figuring out what I am doing wrong.

I tried to use a more recent version of Telethon by updating requirements.txt so that
Telethon==1.24.0 but I still get the same error. Any help deeply appreciated!

Hello. It would be great if there would be a detailed installation guide regarding both ways of installation - via pip or from source from step to step to everyone maybe?

Anyway, I have this issue after installing via pip3:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/telepathy", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('telepathy==2.3.2', 'console_scripts', 'telepathy')()

    return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name)
  File "/home/andrejki/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2867, in load_entry_point
    return ep.load()

    module = __import__(self.module_name, fromlist=['__name__'], level=0)
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'telepathy'

The solution described somewhere to install python panda library, but that was already solved.

I tried to install it from the source and holly cow, I just can t figure it out. I did python3 setup.py build and later python3 setup.py install and basically nothing changed, I haven t figured it out to work. How to fix my issues and how to do the installation properly from step 1 to last step? I am not that a newbie, but for this tool installation I am a newbie.

Best regards

Hello, I tried telephaty and made a mistake of mistyping the name of a chat...
looks like when the chat doesn't exist the "total_participants" is returned as a string "no" which is handled as an error by 'int()'
