Protocol

ZUSTY FORUM is an index, not a file host. Files stay in the Telegram channels; we just make them findable and deliverable.

1

Search the index

Every file from every connected channel is indexed with its name, size, type, quality and language. Search by name, extension, quality tag or category.

2

Tap “Get file”

Each row has a Get file button. It opens Telegram with a deep link into the bot, carrying the ID of exactly the file you picked.

3

The bot DMs it to you

Press Start once (Telegram requires it before a bot can message you). The bot copies the file from the source channel into your private chat — no download links, no ads.

For the owner

  1. Create a bot with @BotFather and copy its token.
  2. Turn on Allow bot to message users isn’t needed — users press Start first, which is standard.
  3. Add the bot as an admin in each channel you want indexed (no special rights needed beyond reading posts).
  4. Put the token in Admin → Settings, then run the indexer: python3 bot/index_bot.py.
  5. Backfill old posts with python3 bot/sync_channel.py @yourchannel, or paste a CSV in Admin → Import.

The bot and the site share one SQLite database, so anything the bot indexes shows up on the site instantly.
