# Monitor a crypto channel for new announcements

**Use case:** 

Exchange listings and large on-chain transfers are posted to Telegram before they reach anywhere else. Watch the official announcement channels on a schedule: set the since date to your last run and each check returns only the new messages, with timestamp, view count and a t.me permalink, ready to parse for tickers and listings.

## Input

```json
{
  "channels": [
    "binance_announcements",
    "whale_alert"
  ],
  "maxMessagesPerChannel": 50,
  "since": "2026-08-01",
  "proxy": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

## Output

```json

  "success": {
    "label": "Success",
    "format": "boolean"
  },

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
