Work around message flood limit
Opened this issue · 1 comments
Since the 400 messages per 30 seconds flood limit doesn't seem to apply to the new official data export tool in Telegram Desktop 1.3.8+, could there be any way to achieve the same thing for telegram_backup?
It's probably too complicated or even impossible since being able to use their method from Telegram Desktop for arbitrary requests would disable Telegrams flood protection which obviously isn't desired to be easy but there's always hope i guess.
Also for people who want to create a backup of a huge account using telegram_backup a feature to import a .json File of all messages created by the Telegram Desktop data export tool would already be super helpful.
I once did some tests fiddling with the telegram API. Back then i came to the conclusion that the flood limit is as low as 400 messages per 30 seconds only while getting the messages by their consecutive IDs. Telegram Desktop is fetching messages per chat/channel/group and uses the appropriate API for that, which isn't rate limited (that strictly) and also doesn't return empty (deleted) messages.
