Telegram Channel Scraper

Scrape public Telegram channels with no login, no phone number, no bot token and no API keys. Get every post's text, date, views, reactions, photos, videos, links, hashtags and forwards, plus channel stats such as subscribers and media counts.

Built for news monitoring, OSINT, crypto and finance signals, brand tracking, and research. Schedule it with Only new posts turned on to get a live feed of new posts from the channels you follow.

Features

• Any public channel: enter a username (durov), @handle or link (https://t.me/s/durov). Add as many channels as you like.
• Full history: pages back from the newest post until your limit or start date.
• Keyword search: uses Telegram's own in-channel search, so only matching posts are fetched and charged.
• Date range: collect only posts between two dates.
• Monitoring mode: returns only posts you haven't received in earlier runs with the same input.
• Engagement data: view counts and every reaction with its count, including paid Star reactions.
• Channel profile: title, description, subscribers, photo, video and link counts.
• Low cost: reads Telegram's public web preview over plain HTTP, with no browser and usually no proxy needed.

Pricing

• $0.70 per 1,000 posts
• $1.00 per 1,000 channel profiles

There is no start fee. You can set a maximum cost per run, and the Actor stops cleanly when it's reached.

Notes and limits

• Public channels only. Private channels and groups, and channels that have turned off web preview, can't be read. They're reported with "error": "not_public_or_not_found" and aren't charged.
• Reactions: Telegram shows most reactions as custom emoji. You get their emoji ID and count, and the emoji character where Telegram provides one.
• No personal data: the Actor doesn't collect members or subscriber lists. Use the data in line with Telegram's terms and the privacy laws that apply to you.
