What it does

Downloads a Telegram channel’s member list and message history so you can browse or analyse it locally.

When to use it

•You need a CSV of all members for a market‑research sweep of a competitor’s group.
•You want to archive the last 30 days of posts for compliance or content repurposing.
•You’re building a data‑driven outreach campaign and need the usernames and join dates.

Ready-to-paste prompt

python tg_saver.py --channel @my_startup_news --type messages --since 2024-01-01 --output my_startup_news_2024.json

Heads up: The script will fail unless you have a valid Telegram API ID, API hash, and have completed the sign‑in SMS verification for the phone number in .env.
