2 years ago I want to install your repo, but I got the following error
Oops, I haven't tested this installation method for a looong time... Thanks for pointing out the problem :)
Currently it should be: go install github.com/3bl3gamer/tg_history_dumper@latest. If the Windows Go installer has done everything right, you then will be able to run tg_history_dumper from any folder. Otherwise, you will have to use the full path to the executable (perhaps C:\Users\<user>\go\bin\tg_history_dumper).
You can also download the code as zip and run go build inside the unzipped folder. That way you will get the tg_history_dumper executable in current (unpacked) folder.
set the following parameters
The Dumper is configured via config.json. Almost everything is optional here so you may start with just {"app_id":..., "app_hash":"..."} and needed parameters. The config file will be picked automatically if it is in the current directory. Otherwise you can specify custom path: tg_history_dumper -config pat\to\config.json.
- Message filtering is currently not supported. Dumper can only get sequential messages with (optionally) related media. Media can be filtered by size though.
"media": {"media_max_size": "100M"}in the config, more info here.- JSON is the only format currently supported by Dumper (though it is different from Telegram's JSON).
"out_dir_path": "D:\Telegram\Export\"in the config, more info here.- Time filtering is currently not supported. Though it is possible to get N last messages with
"history_limit": {"100": "all"}in the config, more info here.

Hello: I am totally newbie for GO, I just played it for 5 minutes. Anyway, I want to install your repo, but I got the following error: C:\Telegram\Go_Projects>go get github.com/3bl3gamer/tg-history-dumper go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory. 'go get' is no longer supported outside a module. To build and install a command, use 'go install' with a version, like 'go install example.com/cmd@latest' For more information, see https://golang.org/doc/go-get-install-deprecation or run 'go help get' or 'go help install'.
C:\Telegram\Go_Projects> If it is not the issue for the repo, but at least tell me how I can download and install the repo. Can I download the code as zip file and unzip it in my PC (Windows 10). By the way, if I want to use the repo to export some public channel chats, how I can write the json format file. Here is the details: For example, I have joined about 20 Telegram public channels. I want to export channel chats for 2 of the 20 channels. In Telegram desktop for Windows, I can do it by hand, but I want to know if I can use your repo to do this by GO script. From Telegram desktop, when I want to export channel chats, I have to set the following parameters: 1) Type of messages: I want to include: Photos, Videos, Video messages, Files. 2) Size limit: default is 8MB, which is too small, I want to increase it to 100MB. 3) Format: default is HTML, but I want to change it to Json 4) Path: default is C:\Downloads\Telegram Desktop …, I want to change it to something like: D:\Telegram\Export\Channel. 5) From time, the default is the oldest message, I want to change it to from yesterday's message. 6) To time, it is OK to set it to present. Therefore, I have to provide 6 parameters (the type of messages, there are 3 more items to set) before I can run export one channel chats. Please give me an example how to use your repo to export one public channel chats using the above 6 parameters. Thank you very much,
