n8n-nodes-telegram-archive

This is an n8n community node package for Telegram-Archive — query archived Telegram chats, messages, and statistics from your self-hosted instance.

n8n is a fair-code licensed workflow automation platform.

Installation

Follow the installation guide in the n8n community nodes documentation.

Credentials

Configure the Telegram Archive API credential with:

• URL — Base URL of your Telegram-Archive instance (default: http://localhost:8000)
• Username — Login username (leave empty if authentication is disabled)
• Password — Login password (leave empty if authentication is disabled)

The node uses Telegram-Archive’s session cookie authentication (POST /api/login). If the instance has authentication disabled (no VIEWERUSERNAME/VIEWERPASSWORD env vars), leave the credential fields empty.
