# Search Bitcoin Posts on Public Telegram — Starter

**Use case:** 

Find public Telegram posts matching bitcoin in their text or channel title. Start with one keyword and up to five posts using Quick discovery. Public indexing can return no matches. No Telegram login or media download. Fees depend on the active Pricing tab; verified keyword checks can be billed even with no posts. Inspect SUMMARY after running.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/monkey.d.scraping/telegram-keyword-search-channel-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
