📡 TDS2 - Telegram Data Storage System

TDS2 (Telegram Data Storage System) is a powerful Python library that leverages Telegram's infrastructure as a cloud storage backend. Upload, download, manage, and track files using Telegram channels with automatic logging and progress tracking.

🌟 Features

• 📤 File Upload: Upload files of any size to Telegram channels with progress bars
• 📥 File Download: Download files using message IDs
• 🗑️ File Management: Delete messages and manage your storage
• 📊 Automatic Logging: Optional JSON-based logging with metadata tracking
• 📈 Storage Analytics: Track total storage size, file counts, and deletion status
• ⚡ Async Support: Built on Telethon for efficient async operations
• 🔒 Private Storage: Use your own Telegram channels as secure cloud storage

📦 Installation

pip install tds2

🚀 Quick Start

from tds2 import tds2client

# Initialize client (without logging)
client = tds2client(
    api_id='YOUR_API_ID',
    api_hash='YOUR_API_HASH',
    group_chat_id='YOUR_CHANNEL_ID'
)

# Upload a file
response = client.upload('/path/to/file.pdf')
print(f"Uploaded! Message ID: {response.id}")

# Download a file
file_path = client.download(response.id)
print(f"Downloaded to: {file_path}")

# Delete a file
client.delete(response.id)

# Get last message ID
last_id = client.get_last()

📝 With Logging Enabled

Enable automatic JSON logging to track all uploads and deletions:

# Initialize client with logging
client = tds2client(
    api_id='YOUR_API_ID',
    api_hash='YOUR_API_HASH', 
    group_chat_id='YOUR_CHANNEL_ID',
    logfile='my_storage.json'
)

# All operations are now automatically logged
response = client.upload('document.pdf')

# Get storage statistics
summary = client.get_log_summary()
print(f"Total storage used: {summary['total_size_mb']} MB")
print(f"Active files: {summary['active_files']}")
print(f"Deleted files: {summary['deleted_files']}")

🔑 Getting Started

1. Get Telegram API Credentials

1. Visit https://my.telegram.org
2. Log in with your phone number
3. Go to "API Development Tools"
4. Create a new application
5. Save your api_id and api_hash

2. Create a Telegram Channel

1. Create a new Telegram channel (private or public)
2. Get the channel ID (use a bot like @raw_data_bot or @username_to_id_bot)
3. Make sure your account has admin rights in the channel

3. Use TDS2

from tds2 import tds2client

client = tds2client(
    api_id='12345678',
    api_hash='abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890',
    group_chat_id='-1001234567890',
    logfile='storage.json'  # Optional
)

📚 Core Functions

upload(file_path)

Upload a file to your Telegram channel. Returns a message object with the upload details.

download(message_id)

Download a file using its Telegram message ID. Returns the path to the downloaded file.

delete(message_id)

Delete a message/file from the Telegram channel.

get_last()

Get the message ID of the last message in the channel.

get_log_summary()

Get statistics about your storage (only available when logging is enabled).

🗂️ JSON Logging Structure

When logging is enabled, TDS2 creates a JSON file with the following structure:

{
  "total_size": 1048576000,
  "files": {
    "123": {
      "message_id": 123,
      "file_name": "document.pdf",
      "size_bytes": 1048576,
      "size_mb": 1.0,
      "upload_date": "2025-12-24T10:30:00.000000",
      "deletion_date": null,
      "deleted": false
    }
  }
}

Log Fields Explained:

• total_size: Total bytes of non-deleted files
• message_id: Telegram message ID
• file_name: Original filename
• size_bytes: File size in bytes
• size_mb: File size in megabytes (rounded)
• upload_date: ISO 8601 timestamp of upload
• deletion_date: ISO 8601 timestamp of deletion (if deleted)
• deleted: Boolean indicating deletion status

💡 Use Cases

• Personal Cloud Storage: Use Telegram as unlimited cloud storage
• Backup System: Automated backup of important files
• File Sharing: Share large files through Telegram
• Media Archive: Store photos, videos, and documents
• Data Migration: Transfer files between systems
• Automated Workflows: Integrate with scripts and automation

⚙️ Advanced Configuration

Custom Session Name

The library uses Telethon's session management. By default, it creates a session file named anon.session. This file stores authentication data so you don't need to log in every time.

Progress Tracking

All uploads automatically display a progress bar using tqdm, showing real-time upload speed and ETA.

🔒 Security Considerations

• Keep your api_id and api_hash secure
• Use private channels for sensitive data
• Consider encrypting files before upload for additional security
• The session file contains authentication data - keep it secure
• Logging files may contain sensitive filenames - protect them appropriately

📊 Storage Limits

• Telegram allows files up to 2GB per file
• No limit on total storage (as of 2025)
• Upload/download speeds depend on your connection and Telegram's servers

🛠️ Requirements

• Python 3.7+
• telethon
• tqdm

All dependencies are automatically installed with pip.
