How it works

A few simple steps

Usually it is simple: send a link to SpyGrabs, grant access if needed, and get the files back in Telegram.

Find the post or material you need

In a channel, bot, or personal chat, then copy its link.

Send the link to SpyGrabs

If the materials are inside another bot, send its @username. SpyGrabs will understand the flow.

If the channel is private, grant access

The bot will guide you: use Telegram authorization or an active invite link. One time.

Get the files in Telegram

Attachments and message text arrive directly in the bot chat. Heavy videos can be delivered in parts.

FAQ

What to know before you start

What can I send to the bot?

A link to a specific post, the "Download from a bot" mode with the source bot's @username, a chat export with a @username or chat ID, or the "Download full channel" feature inside the bot.

What comes back?

Files arrive directly in the bot chat. For posts, channels, and chat exports, SpyGrabs usually saves the text as well. Large jobs go through a queue, and heavy videos can arrive in parts.

Does it work with personal chats when copying is disabled?

Yes. For these cases, Personal, formerly Premium, includes a chat export mode. SpyGrabs works only with chats that are already available to your account.

What can I choose when exporting a chat?

You can choose a period, content type, and targeted export options. Text, photos, videos, voice messages, documents, and keyword or phrase search are usually available.

Does it work only with channels?

No. SpyGrabs can work with channels, chats, personal dialogs, subthreads, and Telegram bots. Personal chats use a separate chat export mode.

Why is Telegram authorization needed?

For private sources, chat exports, and the "Download full channel" feature. Authorization lets the bot see a channel or chat that your account already has access to. Public sources do not require authorization.

When is the free mode enough?

For public channels, you get 2 free downloads per day. That is usually enough to test how the service works.

What is included in "Download full channel"?

It is a separate maximum one-time export for one channel or chat. The scenario starts only through authorization, and after export you receive 30 days of Personal as a bonus. If the export is large or unusual, support will help choose the best way to run it.

What if I do not have access to the source?

Then a link alone is not enough. For a private scenario, you need access through authorization or a working invite link. SpyGrabs helps save what is already available to you in Telegram.
