Telegram Video Downloader

This repository contains scripts to download MP4 videos from Telegram links found in your CSV file.

Available Scripts

1. yt_dlp_telegram_downloader.py (Recommended)

Uses the powerful yt-dlp library for downloading videos. This is usually the most reliable option.

/home/tr4m0ryp/Documents/.venv/bin/python yt_dlp_telegram_downloader.py

2. enhanced_telegram_downloader.py

A custom implementation that tries multiple methods to download videos from Telegram links.

Usage:

/home/tr4m0ryp/Documents/.venv/bin/python enhanced_telegram_downloader.py

3. download_telegram_videos.py

A simpler implementation using basic web scraping techniques.

Usage:

/home/tr4m0ryp/Documents/.venv/bin/python download_telegram_videos.py

Setup

The Python environment is already configured with all necessary packages:

• requests - For HTTP requests
• pandas - For CSV processing
• yt-dlp - For video downloading
• urllib3 - For URL handling

How it works

1. The script reads the bulkpubler.csv file in the current directory
2. Extracts all unique Telegram links (https://t.me/...)
3. Creates a videos directory to store downloaded files
4. Attempts to download MP4 videos from each link
5. Names files as telegram_video_001.mp4, telegram_video_002.mp4, etc.

Expected CSV Format

The script expects a CSV file with Telegram links in the format:

"Account,Message,Media,Date,Time,Timezone"
"CryptWal,""Message text"",https://t.me/cloudstorage_public/72,08/11/2025,15:00,US/Eastern"

The script will automatically extract all https://t.me/... URLs from the file.

Output

• Videos are saved to the videos/ directory
• Progress is shown for each download attempt
• A summary is displayed at the end showing successful and failed downloads

Troubleshooting

1. "No Telegram links found" - Check that your CSV file contains valid t.me URLs
2. Download failures - Some Telegram links may require authentication or may be private
3. Slow downloads - The script includes delays between requests to be respectful to servers

Notes

• The script processes unique links only (duplicates are automatically removed)
• Downloads may fail for private channels or restricted content
• Some links may require special authentication that these scripts don't handle
