Building a video downloader tool on Telegram where do I start?

Written by

Hey everyone,

Working on a Telegram tool that grabs videos from YouTube, Pinterest, and Snapchat when someone drops a link. Already got the token from BotFather and picked a name, but stuck on the actual build.

A few things I’m not sure about:

-> Is yt-dlp enough for YouTube and Pinterest, or do I need something separate for Snapchat? Heard that one’s a pain.

> Should I go with polling or webhooks for this kind of setup?

> Telegram caps uploads at 50MB, so what do people usually do for bigger videos?

> What’s the cheapest way to keep this running 24/7 instead of just on my laptop?

If anyone’s built something similar, would really appreciate any pointers or gotchas to watch out for. Thanks!
