Telegram Channel Scraper — Posts, Views, Reactions & Media

Extract posts from any public Telegram channel — no Telegram account, no phone number, no API key. Paste channel names or links and get clean, structured data: text, date, views, reactions, photos, videos, link previews, hashtags, mentions, replies and forwards.

Pay only for what you get: $1 per 1,000 posts. No monthly rental, no start fees.

What can you do with it?

• 📈 Monitor channels on a schedule — turn on Only new posts and you get (and pay for) each post exactly once.
• 🔎 Track keywords — use Telegram's in-channel search to pull only posts that mention your brand, coin, product or topic.
• 📊 Measure engagement — views, reaction counts per emoji, paid Star reactions and subscriber counts for every channel.
• 🗞️ Build news and crypto feeds — full post text with links, link-preview titles and media URLs, ready for your AI pipeline or database.
• 🧪 Research — export a channel's full history between two dates for analysis.

How to use

1. Add one or more channels: durov, @telegram, or https://t.me/nytimes.
2. Optionally set a date range, a keyword, or the maximum posts per channel.
3. Click Start. Download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or connect them to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets or your API.

FAQ

Do I need a Telegram account or API keys? No. The scraper reads Telegram's public web preview (t.me/s/…), the same page anyone can open in a browser.

Which channels work? Any public channel that has a web preview. Private channels, invite-only groups and channels that disabled the preview are skipped with a clear log message.

Why is some media empty? Telegram's web preview doesn't show every media type (for example some stickers or large files). You still get the post, its text, date, views and link.

Can I scrape the full history? Yes — set Max posts per channel to 0. Combine with Posts from date to stop at a specific day.

How does "Only new posts" work? The scraper remembers the newest post id per channel in a named key-value store in your account. On the next run it stops as soon as it reaches posts you already have.

Is it legal? It collects only publicly available information. You are responsible for using the data in line with Telegram's terms and the laws that apply to you, including data-protection rules.
