Anand AroraQuestion / Claim
How to safely and reliably download all past and new PDFs from a Telegram group using Telethon? (Knowledge Transfer in Orgs using TG)
Key Assumptions
- The Telegram account has legitimate access to the group(high confidence)
- Telethon mirrors official Telegram client behavior when used responsibly(high confidence)
- Rate limiting and duplicate tracking prevent spam-like behavior(medium confidence)
Evidence & Observations
- Successful login via Telethon and ability to receive and download PDFs from the target group(personal)
- Successful login via Telethon and ability to receive and download PDFs from the target group.(personal)
Open Uncertainties
- How large groups with very long histories affect runtime and performance
- Whether oldest-first ordering is required for specific workflows
Current Position
Using Telethon with a controlled script to download historic and new PDFs from groups I am a member of is safe, compliant with Telegram ToS, and works reliably when rate-limited. Helps in KT's when you are working in TG groups across your organizations and you want to not only take a chat export but also download relevant proposals / pdf's shared
This is work-in-progress thinking, not a final conclusion.
