| Post returned One post from a public Telegram channel: the channel, the post id and its permanent t.me link, the publication time, the text with its line breaks, the view count exactly as Telegram publishes it (rounded to three significant figures, with the original text and a flag that says so), every reaction with its emoji or custom emoji id and its count, whether the post was forwarded and from which channel and post, the author signature, whether it was edited, whether it carries a photo, a video or a link preview together with that preview's URL, title and site, and the links, @mentions and hashtags found in the text. Posts that were already returned by an earlier monitoring run are never returned again, and rows that report a name with no public preview, a name that does not exist, a bot check, or nothing new since the last run are returned with the reason and are never charged. | | |
| Channel summary returned One row per channel: title, description and verified flag, the exact subscriber count taken from the channel profile page - Telegram's public preview only shows a rounded figure such as 172K where the exact number is 171,899 - next to that rounded figure and the difference between them, plus the photo, video and link counters the channel publishes, and statistics measured from the posts this run actually read: how many were read and over what window in days, posts per day, the median, mean, highest and lowest view counts, the top post and its views, median reactions, views per subscriber, the share of posts carrying a photo, a video, a link preview or a forward, and the busiest posting hour in UTC. | | |
