Sign up for Telegram using any application. Log in to your Telegram core: https://my.telegram.org. Go to "API development tools" and fill out the form. You will get basic addresses as well as the api_id and api_hash parameters required for user authorization.

@dnslin, the only file size, connections count and https restrictions can be "unlocked" via local Bot API server, just read the Telegram Docs.

For future researchers, this is how you are supposed to run docker image with --local flag:

docker run -d -p 8081:8081 --name=telegram-bot-api --restart=always -v telegram-bot-api-data:/var/lib/telegram-bot-api -e TELEGRAM_LOCAL=1 -e TELEGRAM_API_ID=*** -e TELEGRAM_API_HASH=*** aiogram/telegram-bot-api:latest

Also, a small note: Large files aren't stored on local server.
