Configuration

The basic configuration contains exactly 4 settings:

[CONFIGURATION]
api_id=my_api_id
api_hash=my_api_hash
phone_number=my_phone_number
data_path=my_data_path
device_model=device_model_name
timeout=30
  • api_id > Required - Telegram API ID. From https://my.telegram.org/ > login > API development tools
  • api_hash > Required - Telegram API Hash. From https://my.telegram.org/ > login > API development tools
  • phone_number > Required - Target Phone Number
  • data_path > Required - Defines the Path Folder for the SQLite Databases and Dowloaded Files
  • device_model > Optional - Defines which device model is passed to Telegram Servers.
    • If Blank or Absent - Uses 'TeX' for backwards compatibility
    • If set as 'AUTO' - Uses the computer/system device model
  • timeout > Optional - Defines the Timeout in seconds for Telegram Client.
    • Default: 10

Note about 'device_model'

If you are using versions prior to 0.2.15 or have already connected to Telegram and have not configured the 'device_model' parameter, do not make the change, as Telegram may interpret this operation as an attack on your account.

Place the configuration file anywhere you want with .config extension.
