TData vs session+json: Which to Choose | TelegaMarket

Bought a Telegram account and found a tdata folder or a pair of .session and .json files? The choice between TData or session+json simply depends on how you plan to work. Both formats give full access to the account — they only differ in how you launch them.

What is TData

TData is the working folder of the official Telegram Desktop client. It holds the authorization keys, so copying the folder logs you in without an SMS code. It is ideal for manual work: messaging, warming up, running channels. TData accounts at TelegaMarket start from 35₽.

How to open TData

  1. Install Telegram Desktop (portable version works too).
  2. Copy the tdata folder next to the Telegram executable.
  3. Launch the client — the account signs in automatically.

What is session+json

The session+json format is a Telethon or Pyrogram session file (.session) plus a .json with metadata: device, app version, proxy, sometimes the number and 2FA. It is built for automation and software, not manual login. These accounts power mailings, parsing and inviting — and start from 2.8₽, so people buy them in bulk.
