Telegram Channel Scraper - Posts, Views & Reactions, No Login

Scrape posts from public Telegram channels, no account or API key needed: text, date, views, reactions, links, hashtags, photos, videos, forwards and link previews, with the channel's title and subscriber count on every row.

Why this one

• No login, no API key. Reads the public web preview Telegram itself serves at t.me/s/
• Many channels in one run, newest posts first, back as far as you need.
• Views and reactions as numbers ("1.88M" becomes 1880000).
• Date limit and in-channel search so you only pay for the posts you want.
• You only pay for posts. Channels that don't exist or aren't public are listed in RUN_SUMMARY and cost nothing.

Input

Channels	durov, @telegram, https://t.me/s/bbcnews

    "channelDescription": "The official Telegram on Telegram. Much recursion. Very Telegram. Wow.",
    "date": "2026-08-26T19:12:34.000Z",
    "edited": false,
    "text": "For all the info from today's update and a look back at 13 years of Telegram features — check out our blog:\nhttps://telegram.org/blog/welcome-messages-buttons-TG-13\n\nAugust Features\n1 • 2 • 3 • 4 • 5 • More",

    "reactions": null,
    "reactionsTotal": null,
    "hashtags": [],
    "links": [
        "https://telegram.org/blog/welcome-messages-buttons-TG-13",
        "https://t.me/telegram/455",
        "https://t.me/telegram/456",
        "https://t.me/telegram/457",

    "forwardedFromUrl": null,
    "url": "https://t.me/telegram/460",
    "searchQuery": "durov"
}

Each row also has searchQuery: the search that found it. A summary of the run (posts per search, the site's total for each search, and any searches that failed) is saved as RUN_SUMMARY in the key-value store.

Export to JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML from the Output tab, or use the API.

Use cases

• News and crypto monitoring across many channels.
• Brand and competitor tracking: what channels post about you, and how it performs.
• Research datasets of public channel posts with engagement.

Pricing

Pay per post. See the Pricing tab. Searches that fail are free.

Good to know

• Only public channels with a web preview can be read; private channels, groups and member lists cannot (and are not collected).
• Custom (premium) emoji reactions have no character; they come back as custom with their count.
• Photo and video links are Telegram CDN links and may expire after a while; download soon after the run if you need the files.
• This Actor reads public channel posts only. It does not log in, and it does not collect channel members, comments or private messages.
