# Telegram channel analytics — subscribers, views & reactions

**Use case:** 

Per-post analytics for a public Telegram channel, read from the public web preview with no API key, no phone number and no login. Measured 2026-09-17: one run returned 1,000 posts in 58 seconds, back to November 2023, with view counts and reaction totals on 973 of them and the subscriber count on all 1,000. Messages bill in blocks of 1,000, so one channel at 1,000 fills exactly one block.

## Input

```json
{
  "channels": [
    "toncoin"
  ],
  "mode": "web_preview",
  "maxMessagesPerChannel": 1000,
  "deltaMode": false,
  "deltaStateKey": "default",
  "extractMedia": true,
  "extractReactions": true,
  "extractMemberData": false
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "channel_name": {
    "label": "Channel",

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/zhorex/telegram-channel-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
