Telegram Channel Scraper

Telegram Channel Scraper collects every post of public Telegram channels and returns one row per post: text, date, views, reactions, photos, video, attached files, link previews, polls, hashtags, links and forwards, with the channel's title and subscribers on every row. Search inside a channel and stop at a date.

$0.0002 per post — 20 cents per 1,000. No Telegram account, no API key, no phone number, no start fee.

What is Telegram Channel Scraper?

Telegram channels are where news, crypto, marketing and niche communities publish first. This Actor reads the public web preview of each channel (t.me/s/…) and pages back through its history. Use it for media monitoring, crypto and market signals, competitor channels, content research, or feeding channel archives to an AI.

Need per-channel analytics (reach, posting frequency, best hours)? See our Telegram Channel Analytics.

Bulk export: what 50,000 rows actually cost

This Actor is built for bulk jobs — thousands of inputs in one run, or a daily schedule. There is no fee per run, no fee per page and no proxy charge: you pay for the rows you keep.

Job	This Actor	Most-used Actor in this category
50,000 posts across 100 runs	$10	$17.50 + $1 in start fees
20 channels × 1,000 posts every week	$16 a month	$28 + start fees

Checked on the Apify Store on 23 September 2026 against the Actor with the most monthly users in this category ($0.00035 per post plus $0.01 per run). Some Actors here ask less per row — this table compares against the one buyers actually use most.

How to use it in three steps
