General

Social Network Harvester supports data harvesting in public groups and channels in Telegram.

The following is possible with the SNH Telegram module:

• Save group members
• Save timeline posts
• Save text messages
• Save text postings
• Save pictures
• Save videos
• Save videos in group chats
• Save status messages (only: enter group, leave group)
• Save references between chat messages (e.g. through replies)
• (NEW) Save comments from channel posts

Note: Recognition of profiles works only the first time the web page is accessed. To manually start a Profile Recognition, just click the following Button in the Browser explorer:

Profiles/Groups/Channels are identified by a unique number sequence, which is saved by the SNH as User ID 2.  The User ID 1 is often the same as User ID 2 but can be changed by the associated user.

SNH Telegram project files end with “.SNG”

Postings are saved via https://t.me/s/, chatmessages of groups via https://web.telegram.org/k/
