Telegram API from official mobile client.
Telegram protocol https://core.telegram.org/ has technically thorough and detailed documentation, but does not cover usage scenarios. Our goal is to make a library that implements some real-life OSINT usage scenarios, including:
- searching user in specific groups;
- parsing group members;
- monitoring user online status;
- downloading photos from channel;
- monitoring user profile changes (photo/bio/etc.);
- fetching messages by specific user.
- PHP 7.1+
- Composer
- phpseclib
To get started, go to examples dir.
First of all, you need auth keys generated, run php registration.php to get those.
Some examples require two accounts to run, save those keys to first.authkey and second.authkey, respectively.
Now you are all set, you can run any of them, for example, php parseGroupMembers.php, and check the output.
Verbose logging (all messages sent/received) is enabled by default, add --info to arguments to suppress it.
We currently use Europe/CIS DC, see src/LibConfig.php for details/to change your DC, see also: https://core.telegram.org/method/help.getNearestDc .
