tg-archive is a Python CLI tool that syncs Telegram group chat messages into a local SQLite database and generates a static website archive resembling mailing list archives. It supports media downloads, avatars, reply threading, date-based indexes, and RSS/Atom feeds via a customizable Jinja template.

Use cases

  • export telegram group chat to a static website
  • create a public archive of a telegram group like a mailing list
  • backup telegram chat history locally
  • publish telegram messages as a browsable site with rss feed
  • periodically sync telegram group messages with cron
  • archive telegram media files and avatars

When to avoid

  • you need real-time chat or two-way interaction - it's export-only
  • you want a maintained tool - the author has stopped active development and only reviews PRs
  • you need to archive channels or use the Bot API - it requires a user account API
  • you expect to export very large groups quickly - Telegram API rate limits apply
