TelegramDiscordClone

TelegramDiscordClone is a Python script that utilizes discord.py and telethon libraries to clone messages, including media, from a Telegram group to a specified Discord channel. It achieves this by logging into a Telegram user account, temporarily downloading the messages in chronological order, and then sending them to Discord using a webhook.

Key Features

• Clones messages and media files by simply
• Has configurable parameters such as IGNORE_VIDEO_FILES, CLONE_MEDIA_ONLY, SHOW_USER_INFO etc. (See example)
• Temporarily stores the last porcessed message and media file, contiues from where it left if the program crashes / halts.
• Uses dummyimage to genearte dynamic profile pictures for people without a pfp. (Thanks to Russell Heimlich for providing this free tool)

Installation

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/ali-albdaer/TelegramDiscordClone.git
2. Install the required dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

1. Create a Discord channel and a webhook for that channel then obtain the link.
2. Create a new Telegram app and obtain the API ID and API hash. (visit https://my.telegram.org)
3. Create a config.py file in the root directory and adjust the parameters and flags as needed. (See example)
4. There are two options to store credentials:
   • Define them in config.py. (See example for more info) OR
   • Secure: Use env variables. Requires python-dotenv (recommended) (See [example][.env.example.py] for more info):

     pip install python-dotenv

Usage

1. Run the main.py script:

   python main.py

2. When used for the first time, the script will prompt you to log in to your Telegram account.
3. Once logged in, it will start cloning the messages from the Telegram group. The cloned messages will be sent to the specified Discord channel via the webhook.
4. The id of the last processed message and the links to the profile pictures of the users will be stored under the temp_folder.
5. You may halt the program at any time and as long as the temp_folder is still there, the script will continue from where it left. The last sent message might get duplicated. It is recommended not to halt the program when a media file is being downloaded.
