Telegram Media Gateway Platform Development

Build a production-grade Telegram Media Gateway Platform that uses Telegram as a media storage backend and provides secure APIs for websites, mobile applications, OTT platforms, Telegram bots, and future applications. This is NOT: A streaming website An anime website A movie website A video player platform This is a standalone infrastructure platform that indexes Telegram media, generates permanent media tokens, automatically refreshes expired Telegram URLs, exposes enterprise APIs, tracks analytics, and manages media access at scale. The platform must run entirely on self-hosted VPS infrastructure. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE Create a centralized Telegram Storage & Media Gateway layer that allows third-party applications to access Telegram media using only: { "channel_id": "-1001234567890", "message_id": 12345 } or { "media_id": "media_abc123" } without needing to know: Telegram Bot Tokens Telegram File IDs Telegram CDN URLs MTProto Sessions Telegram URL Expiration Logic The platform handles all Telegram interactions internally. DEPLOYMENT REQUIREMENT The entire platform must run on VPS. No Lovable Cloud. No external media relay services. No third-party streaming providers. Everything must be Dockerized and deployable using Docker Compose.

Store metadata only. Never permanently store Telegram CDN URLs. Store: Media ID Channel ID Message ID File ID File Unique ID File Name File Size Duration Resolution Thumbnail Caption MIME Type Upload Date PERMANENT TOKEN SYSTEM Every media file receives: Stream Token Example: /st/abc123xyz Download Token Example: /dl/xyz123abc Tokens never change. External applications store: { "media_id": "media_123", "stream_token": "st_abc123", "download_token": "dl_xyz123" } Never store Telegram URLs. DIRECT MEDIA RESOLUTION API This is one of the most important APIs. External applications send: { "channel_id": "-1001234567890", "message_id": 12345 } The system automatically: Finds the Telegram message Extracts metadata Creates media record Creates tokens Generates URLs Returns response Endpoint POST /api/v1/media/resolve Request: { "channel_id": "-1001234567890", "message_id": 12345 } Response: { "success": true, "media_id": "media_abc123", "stream_token": "st_xyz123", "download_token": "dl_xyz123", "stream_url": "[login to view URL]", "download_url": "[login to view URL]", "file_name": "[login to view URL]", "file_size": 2147483648 } STREAM API Endpoint GET /st/{token} Flow: Validate Token ↓ Check Cache ↓ URL Valid? ↓ YES → Return URL ↓ NO ↓ Generate Fresh URL ↓ Update Cache ↓ Return URL Telegram download URLs are temporary and guaranteed to be valid for at least one hour, requiring regeneration when expired. DOWNLOAD API Endpoint GET /dl/{token} Flow: Validate Token ↓ Check Cache ↓ URL Valid? ↓ YES → Return URL ↓ NO ↓ Generate Fresh URL ↓ Update Cache ↓ Return URL DIRECT STREAM LINK API POST /api/v1/media/stream-link Request: { "channel_id": "-1001234567890", "message_id": 12345 } Response: { "stream_url": "[login to view URL]" } DIRECT DOWNLOAD LINK API POST /api/v1/media/download-link Request: { "channel_id": "-1001234567890", "message_id": 12345 } Response: { "download_url": "[login to view URL]" } BULK RESOLUTION API POST /api/v1/media/bulk-resolve Request: { "items": [ { "channel_id": "-1001234567890", "message_id": 1001 }, { "channel_id": "-1001234567890", "message_id": 1002 } ] } Response: { "success": true, "results": [] } ON-DEMAND INDEXING If media is not indexed: API Request ↓ Media Exists? ↓ No ↓ Fetch Telegram Message ↓ Extract Metadata ↓ Create Media Record ↓ Generate Tokens ↓ Return Response SMART URL REGENERATION ENGINE Store: telegram_url generated_at expires_at last_verified status Workers must: Detect Expiration Refresh URLs Update Cache Prevent Failures Telegram file URLs expire and must be regenerated through Telegram APIs when needed.
