# Telegram Listener
This script serves as a fundamental listener for bot channels on Telegram. Its intended use is to aid in my research on phishing kits.

Here's what each part of a valid Telegram API token represents:
1. **Numeric Identifier (e.g., 1234567890)**: This is a unique numeric identifier for your bot. It's assigned when you create your bot using the BotFather on Telegram.
2. **Colon (:) Separator**: The colon serves as a separator between the numeric identifier and the authentication token.
3. **Authentication Token** (e.g., ABCDefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890abcdefghi): This is a long alphanumeric string that acts as a secret key to authenticate your bot with Telegram's servers. It's generated by the BotFather when you create your bot and should be kept confidential.

## Usage
```
usage: telegram-listener.py [-h] -a API_KEY -s TIME_SLEEP -o OUTPUT_FILENAME

optional arguments:
