2. aria2 – The primary downloader used for all downloads.
3. yt-dlp – Supports m3u8 downloads and additional sites, using aria2 as an external downloader.
4. Go Compiler – Required to build and run the script.

Setup & Usage

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/Sadwhy/tgup.git  
cd tgup  

2. Install Dependencies

go mod tidy  

3. Build the Script

go build -o tgup ./src/main.go  

This generates a tgup binary.

4. Prepare the Environment

• Place the telegram-bot-api binary in the same directory as tgup.

• Create a .env file with the following:

  BOT_TOKEN=12345678:qwertyuiopasdfghjkl  
  API_HASH=zxcvbnmasdfghjkl  
  API_ID=1234567890  

• Get your API credentials:

  • API_ID & API_HASH
  • BOT_TOKEN

⚠️ Keep these credentials private to prevent account compromise.

Using the Script

Single File Upload

./tgup  

• Enter your Channel ID (and Topic ID for supergroups, if applicable).
• Provide the media URL when prompted.

Multi-File Upload

1. Create a list.json file with media links:

   [  
     "https://example.com/file1.mp4",  
     "https://example.com/file2.jpg",  
     "https://example.com/file3.png"  
   ]  

2. Run the script:

   ./tgup  

• Enter your Channel/Group ID (and Topic ID if using supergroups).
• The script will process each file in list.json.

Troubleshooting

• Missing Dependencies? Verify ffmpeg, aria2, yt-dlp, and Go are installed.
• Invalid API Credentials? Double-check .env values (BOT_TOKEN, API_HASH, API_ID).
• Execution Issues? Ensure tgup and telegram-bot-api binaries have execute permissions.
