json_file: Path to JSON file
vcf_file: Path to VCF file

Examples:

python3 telegram_json_to_vcf.py ./contacts.json .

Notes

1. JSON file must have UTF-8 encoding.
2. You can specify the VCF file name (see the examples).
3. In case another file exists with the same name, then the VCF file is renamed.
