is there any way to use telegram's own export output
- MasterScrat 7y agoI don't understand what you mean?
- aaomidi 7y agoTelegram has an export functionality.
- p0cc 7y agoIt may be helpful if you link to the specific API export you are referencing.
- sixhobbits 7y agoI don't think it's possible via the api but some of the desktop clients allow you to export JSON files in a nice format. For macos, you need to download the appstore version as the other (nicer) one does not include this functionality
- MasterScrat 7y agoI wasn't aware of that! We will investigate, although since there's already a way to export from that platform this won't be a priority... > The other way is actually risking your account being taken down for flooding the API. Have you heard about such problems? Are there published API limits? I don't use Telegram so much, but for what it's worth I know people who used Chatistics to export 10s of thousands of messages without a problem.
- hodanli 7y agoyou can export telegram chats using official desktop client in html or json format. https://telegram.org/blog/export-and-more https://telegram.org/blog/export-and-more
- noxer 7y agoYes this^ please. The other way is actually risking your account being taken down for flooding the API. And if not you at least will run into getting errors because of secret limits that will be reached. obviously this is only relevant if you have a lot chats and an old account. Telegram Desktop can export to JSON so it just a matter of importing these JSON files. It does slow down when needed but can export 1k chats in minutes if you don't export media.
