Scraper Setup

Getting the scraper up and running requires a few preliminary steps:

1. Download the Maestro Scraper provided in our main updates channel here or through the Downloads Section. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT FROM ANY OTHER SOURCE.

2. Install and launch the scraper, and you’ll be asked to supply an api id and api hash. You can get these by following steps 3 through 9.

3. Disable AdBlocker and any VPN extensions if you are using Google Chrome, and then:

4. Go to my.telegram.org. DO NOT FOLLOW ANY OTHER LINKS.

5. Enter your phone number. Make sure to select the phone number of the Telegram account connected with the Maestro Sniper Bot. Otherwise, scraping will not work. After you press Next, the site will request an access code.

6. The code will be sent by the official Telegram account to your Telegram. DO NOT SHARE THIS CODE WITH ANYONE. Use the access code to login.

7. After logging in, select API Development Tool.

8. Fill out the form:

   • App Title: Maestro Scraper

   • Short Name: Scraper

   • URL: https://my.telegram.org/

   • Platform: Desktop

9. Select Create Application. You will now have access to your api id and api hash. DO NOT SHARE THESE WITH ANYONE.

10. Go back to the scraper and enter your api id and api hash.

11. Enter your phone number (with the international code). The scraper will request an access code and a password. If you don’t have Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled in your Telegram account, you can leave the password field empty.

12. The code will be sent by the official Telegram account to your Telegram. Use it to finalize the setup. If you face errors while connecting, enable VPN and try again.

You should now be logged in to the scraper. Let’s look at how it interacts with the bot.
