Telegram API by APISH

Get public Telegram data as clean, consistent JSON: public Telegram channel, telegram channel posts, one Telegram post, telegram post comments. 4 endpoints, one response shape, numbers parsed, absolute URLs.

How to use

1. Pick an Endpoint. Each option shows what it returns and its price in credits.
2. Enter its Parameters as JSON, for example {"handle":"durov"}. All parameters are listed below.
3. Run. Each call becomes one row in the dataset. Use Batch to run the same endpoint for many inputs and Pages per input to follow pagination.

Pricing

Pay per event: you pay per APISH credit the call used. The price of each endpoint is in the table below. Calls that fail on our side (server errors, timeouts, blocks) are free.

Endpoints

Endpoint	Returns	Required parameters	Credits
/telegram/v1/channel	Public Telegram channel	handle	1
/telegram/v1/channel/posts	Telegram channel posts	handle	1
/telegram/v1/post	One Telegram post	url	1
/telegram/v1/post/comments	Telegram post comments	url	1

Output

Each dataset row has endpoint, params, status, credits_used and the endpoint's data. Add "raw": 1 to the parameters to also get the site's original record, or "fields": "a,b.c" to return only the fields you need.
