Telegram Scraper – Channel Posts, Views & Keyword Search

Get the posts of any public Telegram channel as clean rows: text, date, views, reactions, photos and videos, the links in the post, and the channel's name and subscriber count. Search inside channels by keyword with Telegram's own channel search, or schedule it to collect only new posts. No login, no phone number, no API key: it reads Telegram's public web preview of the channel (t.me/s/channel).

Built for news and crypto monitoring, brand and competitor tracking, OSINT and research, content curation, and AI agents that need what a channel is posting right now.

What you get

• Posts, newest first: text, date, views, all reactions added up, media type (photo, video, document, poll, audio, sticker), the photo, links in the text and the link preview.
• Channel facts on every row: channel name, description and subscribers.
• Keyword search inside channels: e.g. "bitcoin" in five crypto channels.
• Monitoring: set "Only the last ... hours" to 24 and schedule the run daily to get only new posts.
• Older posts: up to 10,000 per channel, paged back 20 at a time.
• Little personal data: author signatures and the names of people a post was forwarded from are left out (you get forwarded: true), and email addresses in the text become [email removed].

Field	What it does
channels	durov, @durov or https://t.me/durov, one per line.
maxPostsPerChannel	Newest first, up to 10,000 (default 100). With keywords: per channel and keyword.

Good to know

• Public channels only. Private channels, groups, invite links (t.me/+…) and people cannot be read; they get an error row (not charged). A few channel owners turn the web preview off; those get an error row too.
• Views and subscribers are rounded the way Telegram shows them (1.2M, 167K).
• Telegram's channel search matches whole words and their forms the way Telegram does; it does not search across all of Telegram.
• Comments under posts are not in the web preview, so they are not included.
• Not affiliated with Telegram.
