Telegram Channel Posts Scraper

What it does

Export Telegram channel posts and channel information from public web previews. Keyword search is not offered.

Input

Run with {} to collect 10 recent posts from the official Telegram News channel. No account, login or Telegram API credentials are needed.

{"channels":["https://t.me/s/telegram"],"mode":"posts","maxPostsPerChannel":10}

channels accepts usernames, @usernames and t.me channel URLs. mode is posts (default) or channelInfo. maxPostsPerChannel is 1–10,000, default 10. Optional since and until accept ISO timestamps with an explicit timezone, for example 2026-10-01T00:00:00Z; both bounds are inclusive. Paging stops once posts are older than since.

Output

Every row has rowType, channel and a url on t.me. Post rows include post ID, ISO date, text, displayed views, edited flag, forwarded-from name and link, reply link, media types, thumbnail URLs, link previews and structured reactions (emoji or emojiId, paid, integer count). Channel rows include title, description, displayed subscriber count, photo URL and verification flag. Missing fields are null or empty arrays; views and subscribers are integer estimates expanded from displayed K/M/B counts. Service messages are skipped. Media types include photos, videos, documents, audio, voice, polls, stickers, round videos and GIFs; link-preview thumbnails live on linkPreview. Albums and unsupported media may have incomplete metadata. Thumbnail URLs may expire. Only the web preview's visible history is available.

Limits

Runs with saved rows succeed and name failed targets in the status. A nonexistent channel or disabled preview is a failed target. With no rows, failures fail the run; an empty history or an empty date range succeeds. If Telegram is slow or unavailable, the run may return partial results and says so in its status.

Only anonymous public t.me pages are read: no private chats/groups, member lists, deleted content or media downloads. The actor collects public post text as published; it does not enrich identities or contact information.
