Thank you for the post. As a big fan of Telegram I'd like to post here a call to action to improve the favourite messenger:

I'm seeking anyone who is skilled enough to develop a simple Python script using TDLib, Telegram API, and JSON manipulation to make it possible to perform simple tasks listed below:

  1. Import Telegram chat JSON backup back to Telegram similar to what these scripts are doing https://github.com/alexlyzhov/telegram-import
    https://github.com/Suberbia/UltimateChatRestorer
    https://github.com/mygrexit/UltimateChatRestorerForGroupchats
    but for any chat (not only to "saved messages") including group chats (not only 1 to 1 chats) and improve the code to make it work faster, more reliable, write log file, allow continuing from the stop point in case of errors and keep all the original chat data including formatting and everything that telegram can handle.
    Some kinda combine all the script in one universal, flexible, high quality tool.
    The most important aspect of the whole task is that the imported messages have to keep not only the formatting, but its original date and time when they were actually sent. Like it is done in the original telegram tool for importing history from some other apps - https://telegram.org/blog/move-history

  2. Make it very simple to use. Perfect solution will be: Download, put the script next to JSON backup and run it in the interactive mode or with some specific options. Let the script ask for all the credentials and briefly explain where to get them. If possible, keep all the job on one device with no need of transferring the WA format zip file to the phone for importing. If not possible, make it an android app which will get the JSON, process it and feed the result to the Telegram app for import.

This is the basic I'm going to pay for. I'm intended to pay just for initial ignition of the interest to the project. Rest assured that anyway, this software will become very popular among telegram users once it is published under the free license on GitHub and will attract lots of attention and respect to the author. All the rights for your code will belong to you. I'm not pretending for anything.

  1. Develop the app to make it even more attractive and popular by:
