## telegram-2-mastodon-receiver
This is the CLI tool that transports the history of the telegram channel to the mastodon account.
### Dependencies
Java 19th or higher must be installed on your machine.
### Usage
[1] Run the following command in the terminal to get the .jar file:
``wget https://github.com/stanislaw-am-i/telegram-2-mastodon-receiver/releases/download/0.0.3/telegram-2-mastodon-receiver.jar``
[2] Export your data from Telegram. How to do it you can check here: https://telegram.org/blog/export-and-more
[3] Set up the configuration file called ``config`` in your favorite text editor:
```agsl
ACCESS_TOKEN=
BASE_URL=https://yourinstance.social
CHARACTER_LIMITATION=500
INTERVAL=60
PATH_TO_EXPORTED_DATA=Exported_Data_Dir/
```
__Configuration file's content__
- ``ACCESS_TOKEN`` is needed to authenticate a request to your Mastodon instance. Follow these steps to get your token:
- Open a new browser tab and login in to your account at your Mastodon instance.
- Click the gear icon (Preferences) icon to access your Mastodon preferences.
- Click Development in the left menu.
- Click the New Application button.
- Enter an Application Name of your choice.
- Uncheck all the Scopes check boxes, and then check only the following check boxes: write: statuses, write: media.
- Click the Submit button.
- Click the hyperlinked name of your application.
- Copy your access token.
- ``BASE_URL`` This is your Mastodon instance. E.g.: https://mastodon.social
- ``CHARACTER_LIMITATION`` The default character limit is 500 characters on most instances.
- ``INTERVAL`` The value in seconds that sets the pause between each request. Zero is also valid. Many servers have sensitive settings for API requests by default. See more: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/api/rate-limits/
- ``PATH_TO_EXPORTED_DATA`` Path to directory with your exported Telegram data.
[4] Put the ``config`` file in the same directory as the .jar file.
