Telegram Channel Scraper: Posts, Views & Reactions (No Login)

Scrape posts from any public Telegram channel. No Telegram account, phone number or API keys needed. For every post you get text, date, views, reactions, photos, videos, links, link previews, forwards and hashtags, plus the channel's title and subscriber count. Go back through the full channel history, filter by date, search inside channels, or run in monitor mode to get only new posts.

• ✅ No login, no API keys, no ban risk: uses Telegram's public web preview (t.me/s/…).
• ✅ Rich post data: views, reactions (including paid ⭐ reactions), media URLs, links, forwards, replies, polls, documents, hashtags.
• ✅ Full history with automatic pagination, or stop at a date.
• ✅ In-channel search using Telegram's own search.
• ✅ Monitor mode: schedule it to get a feed of new posts from many channels.
• 💲 $1 per 1,000 posts.

Monitor mode

Turn on Monitor mode and schedule the Actor (e.g. every hour). Each run returns only posts published since the previous run. Pipe them to Slack, Discord, email, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make or n8n.

Pricing

$0.001 per post ($1 per 1,000). Channel info is included for free.

Limitations

• Only public channels (and public supergroups) that have a web preview at t.me/s/<name> are supported. Private channels and chats are not.
• Very large media (videos) are returned as links when Telegram provides them; some media types are only viewable in the Telegram app.
• Views and reactions show Telegram's rounded public values (e.g. 1.74M).
