Telegram Channel Scraper: Posts, Views, Reactions & Media

Scrape any public Telegram channel and get clean structured data: post text, publish date, view counts, emoji reactions, forwards, replies, photos, videos, files, links and hashtags, plus the channel's subscriber count and description.

No Telegram account, phone number, API key or proxy needed. Fast, cheap, and your own account is never involved.

What you can do with it

• Monitor news, crypto, deals and alpha channels: schedule runs with Only posts newer than to catch new posts only.
• Social listening and brand tracking: keyword-filter posts across hundreds of channels.
• Measure channels: compare subscribers, average views and reactions to vet influencers or ad placements.
• Build datasets: archive channel history for research, NLP or trend analysis.
• Alerts and automation: pipe results to Slack, Sheets, webhooks, Zapier or Make via Apify integrations.

Limitations

• mediaType is video, photo, document, poll or text; videoDuration is in seconds. Service notices ("channel created", pins) are not returned or charged.
• Public channels only. Private channels, groups and chats are not accessible. Some channels turn off public viewing (often for copyright), and those return a clear error.
• Reaction details: standard emoji show as the emoji, Premium custom emoji as custom:<id>, and paid reactions as star.
• Reads what Telegram shows publicly, so view and reaction counts are a snapshot at scrape time.
