Telegram Channel Scraper — Posts, Views, Reactions (No Login)

Scrape any public Telegram channel without a Telegram account, API key or phone number. Get every post with its text, date, views, reactions, photos, videos, links, forwards and replies, plus the channel's subscriber count — in a clean table you can export to Excel, CSV or JSON.

Why this Actor

• 📜 Full history — paginates back through the channel, up to 50,000 posts per channel.
• 🔎 Search inside channels — uses Telegram's own in-channel search to find posts about a topic in seconds.
• 📊 Engagement data — views and reactions (emoji, custom emoji and paid Stars) for each post.
• 🗓️ Filters — date range, keywords, minimum views, posts with media only.
• 🔔 Monitoring mode — returns only new posts since the last run: schedule it and get a feed in Slack, Google Sheets, email or your webhook.
• 💸 Pay only for results — no monthly rental.

Good to know

• Works with public channels only (those with a t.me/s/… preview). Private channels, groups and bots are reported in the run summary and skipped.
• Media URLs point to Telegram's CDN and can expire after some time — download files you need to keep.
• Views and reactions are the values shown on Telegram at scraping time (rounded, e.g. 1.41M).
• Only publicly available data is collected. You are responsible for using it in line with the law (GDPR in the EU) and Telegram's terms. This Actor is not affiliated with Telegram.
