Private Channels Setup

GHOSTwire can monitor private Telegram channels and groups where you're a member. You'll need to authenticate your Telegram account once — the bot will then use YOUR session to read messages.

IMPORTANT: 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication)

If you have 2FA enabled on your Telegram account:

Temporarily disable 2FA before connecting (my.telegram.org → Privacy & Security → Two-Step Verification → Disable)
Complete the QR or OTP login process below
Re-enable 2FA after successful connection

The bot will KEEP scraping the private channel even after you re-enable 2FA!

Step 1: Get API Credentials

First, you need to create an app on my.telegram.org to get API ID and API Hash.

Go to my.telegram.org

Go to API Development Tools

Click on "API Development Tools"

Create App

Fill in: App title (e.g., "GHOSTwire"), Short name

Copy Credentials

Copy api_id and api_hash

What to enter as channel name:

                        For private channels, enter the numeric ID: -1002174372523

                        For private groups, enter the numeric ID: -1001548932765

                        ⚠️ Do NOT add @ symbol for numeric IDs. Just the number with -100 prefix.

How to get Private Channel/Group ID? (Click to expand) ▼

Private channels often don't have usernames. You need to use their numeric ID in the format -100XXXXXXXXXXXXX.

Method 1: Using @userinfobot (Easiest)

Message @userinfobot

Search for @userinfobot on Telegram and start it

Forward a Message

Forward ANY message from your private channel/group to @userinfobot

Copy the ID

The bot will reply with channel/group info including the ID

                                    📱 Example response from @userinfobot:

                                    Channel: My Private Channel

                                    ID: -1002174372523

                                    Type: Channel

                                    Members: 1,234

How Private Channel Monitoring Works

Behind the Scenes

Once authenticated, GHOSTwire:

Saves your encrypted session string to database
Uses YOUR session to read private channels by ID
Monitors 24/7 even when you're offline
Works even after you re-enable 2FA
Session persists across bot restarts

Session Management

💾

Session Persistence

Your session is saved encrypted in the database. The bot reconnects automatically on restart.

🔄

Reconnect

If session expires, click "Connect Session" again. Credentials remain saved.

🚪

Logout

To disconnect, remove your API credentials or contact admin.

Troubleshooting

"Code expired" error

OTP codes expire quickly. Click "Connect Session" again to get a fresh code and enter it immediately.

"2FA Required" after QR scan

You have 2FA enabled. Enter your 2FA password when prompted. For easier setup, temporarily disable 2FA first.

Private channel not receiving messages

Make sure you are a member of the private channel. Also verify you're using the correct ID format: -100XXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Cannot resolve channel" error

This usually means the channel ID is incorrect or you're not a member. Double-check the ID using @userinfobot (expand the "How to get ID" section above).

Session expired after 2FA re-enable

This is rare. If it happens, simply click "Connect Session" again and re-authenticate (2FA can stay enabled this time).

Security Notes

GHOSTwire never stores your password or 2FA code
Only the encrypted session string is saved
The bot cannot send messages as you — it only reads channels
You can revoke access anytime via Telegram Settings → Devices
Use a dedicated Telegram account for trading if concerned
