I am teaching students a course called "Digital Intelligence and Espionage" this semester and I am trying to design the Gephi component of it.

I want to have students extract data from Telegram (as I was shown in a workshop in Paris last year) and map it in Gephi, but no matter what I do I can't get the data in csv or excel formats. I do not remember having to use Python to prepare it for Gephi and I can't find any help online. Does anyone have any step by step advice? I am not really a good Python coder.
