Telegram Keyword Search: Find Posts Across Channels

Search public Telegram channels for any keyword: a brand, a coin or ticker, a product, a person in the news or a topic. No Telegram account, no phone number, no API key. You get:

• Every matching post: channel, subscribers, date, full text, views, views per subscriber, photo / video, forwarded-from, link preview, and an exact-match flag
• A report per keyword: mentions and share of voice by channel, total and median views, mentions in the last 24 hours / 7 days / 30 days, a 30-day daily timeline, top posts by views and the latest posts
• A built-in directory of 34 large public channels checked to be searchable (crypto, world news, markets, tech), or your own channel list

Who is it for?

• Crypto teams and traders: who is talking about a coin, an airdrop or a listing, how often and with how many views
• Brand and PR teams: mentions of a brand or product across news and community channels
• Market researchers and journalists: how a story spreads across channels day by day
• Agencies: share of voice for a client against competitors, on a schedule

Pricing

$0.001 per post saved and $0.01 per keyword report.

• One keyword across the directory, last 30 days (about 100-300 posts): $0.11 to $0.31
• The first run above (692 posts, 5 reports): $0.74
• Reports only, posts capped at 5 per channel: about $0.02 to $0.10 per keyword

Good to know

• No global Telegram search exists without an account. Only the channels you list, plus the directory if on, are searched, and only channels whose owner switched on the public web preview (many big media channels have not). Channels without a preview are listed in the run summary.
• Telegram's channel search returns only about the 22 newest matches per channel. For common words on busy channels, turn on Scan recent history: the channel's latest posts (20 per page) are read once and every keyword is matched in them, so recent counts are complete. searchCapped in the report shows where the limit was hit without it.
• Matching is Telegram's own and includes word forms ("launch" finds "launched"); turn on Exact keyword only to keep exact matches.
• Views are Telegram's rounded counts ("6.9K" → 6,900).
• Privacy: only what channels published is collected: no members, commenters or phone numbers.
• Proxy: requests go direct, about one a second. Apify datacenter proxy is used only if Telegram answers "too many requests".
• Data comes from t.me public channel previews. Not affiliated with Telegram.
