Telegram channel history backfill — full archive, no API key
Sami
Export a Telegram channel's message history, not just recent posts: the public preview paginates back to the first post (verified: 11 years of @durov in one run), with views, reactions and media URLs, no API key and no login. Capped at maxMessagesPerChannel (5,000 here, 10,000 max). Billed per started block of 1,000: at most five blocks, $25.02; @durov's whole archive fits in one ($5.02).
