Research guide

Archive Telegram channels for research.

Researchers, analysts, journalists, and students often need to preserve a Telegram channel, interview thread, source message, or public discussion before posts are edited, deleted, buried, or made inaccessible. A forwarded export creates a stable snapshot you can review later.

What the archive keeps

The bot exports message text, dates, message IDs, source descriptions, and supported attachments. The ZIP includes human-readable HTML, PDF, DOCX, TXT, and Markdown, plus machine-readable JSON and spreadsheet-friendly CSV, which makes it suitable for qualitative review and data analysis.

When this helps

• Monitoring public statements from channels over time.
• Saving source material for an investigation or article.
• Keeping interview notes, tips, quotes, and source messages together with timestamps.
• Comparing how a topic changes across different channels.
• Creating a local archive before posts disappear.

For formal research, document when you exported the messages and keep the ZIP unchanged as your original archive.
