tdl is a fast, single-binary Telegram toolkit written in Go that downloads and uploads files, forwards messages, and exports chat data to JSON. It works with user accounts or bots, including protected chats, and is available via package managers and Docker.

Use cases

download files from telegram channels
bulk download media from a telegram chat
upload files to telegram from the command line
export telegram messages and members to json
download from protected telegram chats
forward telegram messages with routing

When to choose

you need faster-than-official-client download speeds with low resource usage
you want a single self-contained binary or Docker image with no runtime dependencies
you need scripted, headless Telegram file transfer and data export

When to avoid

you need an interactive full Telegram GUI client
you want a library to embed Telegram client logic into your own Go application
your use case requires features outside downloading, uploading, forwarding, and exporting
