This project is a Telegram command line interface and MTProto client. It functions as a userbot framework, providing a terminal-based environment to interact with Telegram accounts without a graphical user interface.
The system differentiates itself through extensibility, offering Python bindings and a Lua scripting engine to automate account tasks and respond to messages. It also serves as a JSON-based chat exporter, capable of extracting user metadata and conversation histories into structured files.
The client covers core messaging capabilities, including text exchange, group chat management, and the establishment of encrypted secret chats. It supports multimedia exchange, message pattern searching, and the management of multiple account configurations through isolated session persistence.
The implementation provides a terminal command interface featuring tab-completion and command history.
