A New Era for opentele

opentele2 is the rebirth of the original opentele project. The library is now actively maintained and under continued development. We are committed to keeping it up-to-date with the latest versions of Telegram Desktop and Telethon, fixing bugs, and adding new features.

Features

• Convert Telegram Desktop tdata sessions to telethon sessions and vice versa.
• Use telethon with official APIs to avoid bot detection.
• Randomize device info using real data that recognized by Telegram server.

Dependencies

• telethon - Widely used Telegram's API library for Python.
• tgcrypto - AES-256-IGE encryption to works with tdata.

Installation

• Install from PyPI:

pip install --upgrade opentele2

First Run

Load TDesktop from tdata folder and convert it to telethon, with a custom API:

from opentele2.td import TDesktop
from opentele2.tl import TelegramClient
from opentele2.api import API, CreateNewSession, UseCurrentSession
import asyncio

async def main():
    
    # Load TDesktop client from tdata folder
    tdataFolder = r"C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Telegram Desktop\tdata"
    tdesk = TDesktop(tdataFolder)

    # Using official iOS API with randomly generated device info
    # print(api) to see more
    api = API.TelegramIOS.Generate()

    # Convert TDesktop session to telethon client
    # CreateNewSession flag will use the current existing session to
    # authorize the new client by `Login via QR code`.
    client = await tdesk.ToTelethon("newSession.session", CreateNewSession, api)

    # Although Telegram Desktop doesn't let you authorize other
    # sessions via QR Code (or it doesn't have that feature),
    # it is still available across all platforms (APIs).

    # Connect and print all logged in devices
    await client.connect()
    await client.PrintSessions()

asyncio.run(main())

Authorization

opentele2 offers the ability to use official APIs, which are used by official apps. You can check that out here.

According to Telegram TOS: all accounts that sign up or log in using unofficial Telegram API clients are automatically put under observation to avoid violations of the Terms of Service.

It also uses the lang_pack parameter, of which telethon can't use because it's for official apps only.
Therefore, there are no differences between using opentele2 and official apps, the server can't tell you apart.

New features

• PyQt5 Removed: The PyQt5 library has been removed. Its functionality has been reimplemented in pure Python to eliminate overhead and avoid installing unnecessary heavy dependencies.
• New Fingerprints: Some improvements of device information generation. The library now uses a new device database.
