```{admonition} Module type

<span style='color: #00FF00'>[extractor](/core_modules.md#extractor-modules)</a></span>
```

The `TelegramExtractor` retrieves publicly available media content from Telegram message links without requiring login credentials. 
It processes URLs to fetch images and videos embedded in Telegram messages, ensuring a structured output using `Metadata` 
and `Media` objects. Recommended for scenarios where login-based archiving is not viable, although `telethon_archiver` 
is advised for more comprehensive functionality, and higher quality media extraction.

### Features
- Extracts images and videos from public Telegram message links (`t.me`).
- Processes HTML content of messages to retrieve embedded media.
- Sets structured metadata, including timestamps, content, and media details.
- Does not require user authentication for Telegram.
