## Changelog

All notable changes to Telegram Channel Scraper are recorded here. The newest release is first.

### 1.0.0 - 2026-09-28

First public release.

- A channel whose description mentions "captcha" or "access denied" (common for airdrop and moderation channels) is read normally, not mistaken for an anti-bot wall.
- Reads public Telegram channels from the logged-out web preview (`t.me/s/<channel>`): no account, phone number, API key or browser.
- Post rows: text (and optional formatted HTML), views, photos, videos, documents, link previews, polls, reactions, hashtags, mentions, links, forwards from public channels, replies and the edited flag.
- One channel profile row per channel with the exact subscriber count, description, photo, verified badge and media counters.
- Per-channel limit, date range (with a direct jump to `postedBefore` by binary search) and keyword search inside channels with Telegram's own search. Posts found twice are returned once.
- Groups, personal accounts, bots, private invite links and channels without a public preview return one free `not_found` row that says why. Only `ok` rows are charged.
- Privacy: no member lists, user profiles, phone numbers or post author signatures; a forward is named only when its source is a public channel.
