Telegram recently moved from HockeyApp (deprecated) to Microsoft's AppCenter. Scraping the AppCenter's page is quite more painful because it requires JavaScript to be enabled in your browser, so a simple request.get() won't return anything meaningful. We need to fake a browser using selenium (unofficial docs), it's probably the easier solution. I Already did some tests (see 7ae6d31) but I can't even get to read the latest release's version number, let alone download the APK. I don't have much experience with web scraping so I'm kind of lost. If someone has something to suggest (other libraries or examples of other scripts that do a similar job using selenium), everything's welcome
