When you first open Maestro Scraper, you'll be taken to the login screen. The login process has up to 4 steps:
Step 1: API Credentials
- Enter your API ID (the number from my.telegram.org)
- Enter your API Hash (the 32-character string)
- Check "Remember credentials" if you want the app to save your API credentials for next time
- Click Continue
If you uncheck "Remember credentials" later, the app will clear all saved credentials and your Telegram session. You will need to log in again.
Step 2: Phone Number
- Enter your phone number with country code (e.g.,
+1 234 567 8900for US) - Click Send Code
- A verification code will be sent to your Telegram app
Step 3: Verification Code
- Open your Telegram app on your phone or desktop
- Find the login code message from Telegram
- Enter the 5-6 digit code in Maestro Scraper
- Click Verify
- If you didn't receive the code, click Resend code
Step 4: Two-Factor Authentication (if enabled)
If you have Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled on your Telegram account:
- Enter your cloud password (the 2FA password you set up in Telegram)
- Click Sign In
After successful login, you'll be redirected to the Channels page.
Your session is saved securely. You won't need to log in again unless you explicitly log out or uncheck "Remember credentials."
Getting Your Telegram API Credentials
Before you can use Maestro Scraper, you need to obtain API credentials from Telegram. These allow the app to connect to your Telegram account.
Channels Page
The Channels page is where you select which Telegram channels and groups to scrape. After logging in, your Telegram dialogs are automatically loaded. Scraping begins as soon as you enable scraping on a channel — there is no need to navigate to the Activity page first.
