Step 1: API Credentials
- Enter your API ID (the number from my.telegram.org)
- Enter your API Hash (the 32-character string)
- Leave Telegram Server Region on Auto unless connecting is slow or blocked on your network
- Check “Remember credentials” if you want the app to save your API credentials for next time
- Click Continue
Telegram Server RegionTelegram Server Region sets which Telegram datacenter the app connects through: Auto, MIA1, AMS1, MIA2, AMS2, or SIN. Auto works for almost everyone. If connecting is slow or blocked where you are, try another option. This does not move your account, Telegram always routes you to your account’s home region. It appears when there is no saved session yet: your first sign-in, or after you clear your saved login. Signing in saves the session, so afterward the app reconnects to your account’s home datacenter automatically and the option is hidden. Once connected, hovering the Connected status in the footer shows your datacenter and the current ping (for example AMS2: 123 ms), and clicking it copies that.
If you uncheck “Remember credentials” later, the app will clear all saved credentials and your Telegram session. You will need to log in again.
Step 2: Phone Number
- Enter your phone number with country code (e.g.,
+1 234 567 8900for US) - Click Send Code
- A verification code will be sent to your Telegram app
Step 3: Verification Code
- Open your Telegram app on your phone or desktop
- Find the login code message from Telegram
- Enter the 5-6 digit code in Maestro Scraper
- Click Verify
- If you didn’t receive the code, click Resend code
Step 4: Two-Factor Authentication (if enabled)
If you have Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled on your Telegram account:- Enter your cloud password (the 2FA password you set up in Telegram)
- Click Sign In
Your session is saved securely. You won’t need to log in again unless you explicitly log out or uncheck “Remember credentials.”
