PackOwnerBot

A minimal, protocol-level Telegram tool to extract internal sticker pack IDs using Telegram’s MTProto layer.

---

✨ Overview

PackOwnerBot inspects Telegram sticker packs and reveals their internal ID — a value not exposed by the standard Telegram Bot API.

This project is intentionally:

• 🔍 Internal-focused (metadata & protocol internals)
• 🧼 Minimal & clean (no UI clutter)
• ⚙️ Tooling-oriented (research & inspection)

---

🚀 Live Bot Instance

A public running instance of this project is available on Telegram:

• Username: @PackOwnerBot
• Link: https://t.me/PackOwnerBot

You can directly interact with the bot by sending a sticker.

---

🧩 Supported Clients

This repository supports both major MTProto clients, organized by directory:

telethon/
pyrogram/

Each implementation is standalone and functionally equivalent.

---

🔹 Telethon

• Raw MTProto access
• Uses messages.getStickerSet
• Reads packed StickerSet.id
• Ideal for low-level inspection & research

---

🔹 Pyrogram

• MTProto-based client
• Cleaner abstraction for some workflows
• Same internal ID decoding logic
• Suitable for hybrid Bot API + MTProto setups

---

🔐 MTProto & Bot API (Hybrid Model)

This project can operate in a two-layer architecture:

Telegram Bot API
↓
MTProto (Telethon / Pyrogram)

• Bot API → receives updates & commands
• MTProto → fetches internal sticker metadata

This hybrid approach enables access to data impossible to obtain via Bot API alone.

---

🧠 What the Bot Extracts

From a single sticker pack:

StickerSet.id  (64-bit integer)

Which internally contains:

[ creator_id (32 bits) ][ internal_id (32 bits) ]

🎯 Primary Focus

internal_id

The creator ID is shown only as derived metadata.

---

📤 Example Output

Sticker Pack Info

Creator ID : 93602376
Internal ID: 2

---

⚙️ How It Works

The packed ID is decoded using simple bit operations:

creator_id  = sid >> 32
internal_id = sid & 0xFFFFFFFF

📦 Requirements

• Python 3.9+

• One of the following:

  • Telethon
  • Pyrogram (+ tgcrypto)

Install dependencies:

pip install telethon
# or
pip install pyrogram tgcrypto

🔧 Configuration

Set your credentials inside the script:

API_ID = 12345678
API_HASH = "YOUR_API_HASH"
BOT_TOKEN = "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN"

Get API credentials from:

https://my.telegram.org

▶️ Run

python bot.py

⚠️ Limitations

• Requires MTProto access

• Cannot be implemented using Bot API alone

• Some sticker packs may belong to:

  • Official Telegram accounts
  • Deleted users
