Telegram Channels Export Script

This python script allows you to export all the Telegram channels you are a member of, including both public and private channels. The output will contain the channel name, ID, username (if available), and a direct link to the channel.

Features

• ✅ Exports all channels (public & private)
• ✅ Saves channel name, ID, username, and link
• ✅ Outputs data in a CSV file for easy use
• ✅ Improved error handling and logging
• ✅ Reusable without needing to log in again

Prerequisites

1. Get Telegram API Credentials

   • Go to my.telegram.org
   • Log in and navigate to API Development Tools
   • Create a new application and copy your api_id and api_hash

2. Install Dependencies

   • Install Telethon, a Telegram API library for Python:

     pip install telethon

Usage

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/fd2013/telegram-channels-export.git
   cd telegram-channels-export

2. Edit the script to add your API credentials:

   • Open telegram_channel_export.py in a text editor.
   • Replace the placeholders with your API ID and API Hash:

     API_ID = YOUR_API_ID  # Example: 123456
     API_HASH = "YOUR_API_HASH"  # Example: "abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890"

3. Run the script:

   python telegram_channel_export.py

4. Login

   • The first time you run the script, you'll need to enter your Telegram phone number.
   • A verification code will be sent to Telegram—enter it in the terminal.

5. Check the exported file:

   • After running, a file called telegram_channels.csv will be created in C:\Users\YourUsername, containing:

     Channel Name,Channel ID,Username,Channel Link
     Crypto News,123456789,cryptonews,https://t.me/cryptonews
     Private Group A,987654321,Private,Private
     Tech Updates,567890123,techupdates,https://t.me/techupdates
     

Notes

• Public channels will have a clickable link in the format https://t.me/username.
• Private channels do not have usernames and will be labeled as "Private" in the link column.
• The script creates a session file (telegram_channel_export.session), so you don’t need to log in every time.
• If you have Two-Step Verification (2FA) enabled, the script will prompt you for your password.
• If you want to log in with a new account, delete the .session file and rerun the script.
