Why a post link beats manual forwarding
Many users try to save materials by forwarding messages to Saved Messages. This does not always work: forwarding can be disabled, inconvenient, or simply too slow when there are many files.
A post link solves the problem more precisely. It points to one specific message, so the bot works on that exact post rather than browsing the whole channel.
How the flow works
- Open the post in Telegram and copy its link.
- Send the link to SpyGrabs.
- If the source is public, the bot finds the message immediately.
- If the source is private, the bot may ask for authorization.
- You receive the files and message text in the chat with the bot. In some cases the result depends on the post structure and Telegram limitations.
When the free mode is enough
For public channels you get 2 free downloads per day — usually enough to check how the service works.
If you regularly work with Telegram materials or need to access private sources, Personal is the right option: it covers regular downloads and private scenarios that require authorization or a working invite link.
When a post link is no longer the best option
If you need not one post but an entire course, archive, or library of materials, collecting dozens of links one by one makes no sense. The better choice is Archive Start for 1490 RUB: a one-time full export for a single channel or chat, which also includes 30 days of Personal as a bonus.
