unrestrict-bot

This is a bot to get content from restricted telegram content.

Supported Media

• Images
• Video/mp4
• Documents (i'll be sent with 'document' name)

How it works

Self bot that gets the message, downloads and send it using the bot.

Getting started

First we need to set some environment variables:

Linux

export API_HASH=""
export API_ID=""
export SESSION_STRING=""
export BOT_TOKEN=""
export API_HOST=""

Windows (Powershell)

$Env:API_HASH = ""
$Env:API_ID = ""
$Env:SESSION_STRING = ""
$Env:BOT_TOKEN = ""

Then install the requirements with pip install -r requirements.txt and run python3 main.py

Or just build the docker image and run the container with:

docker run --rm -it -e API_HASH=$API_HASH -e API_ID=$API_ID -e SESSION_STRING=$SESSION_STRING -e BOT_TOKEN=$BOT_TOKEN kamuri/unrestrict-bot

Using Telegram's bot api, your bot only supports a limited file size for both download and upload. For upload, the limit is only 50M.

I recommend you to host your own bot api server. In case you want to deploy both the api server and the bot without a lot of configurations, just set your environment variables and run using docker-compose:

docker-compose up --build -d

Getting the SESSION_STRING

Just run sessionstring.py

If it asks you for a bot token or your number, use your number.

TODO

• Add caching
• Add private chats and channels support
