# Crypto Telegram posts — announcements, whale alerts and news

**Use case:** 

Exchange announcements and crypto news from a public Telegram channel with view counts, reactions and every link in the post — listings, maintenance windows and launch notices, without an API key. Messages bill in blocks of 1,000 per channel, rounded up, so this example pulls a full 1,000 from one channel: each extra channel bills its own block.

## Input

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

## Output

```json
{
  "channel_name": {
    "label": "Channel",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "date": {
    "label": "Date",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "text": {
    "label": "Message",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "views": {
    "label": "Views",
    "format": "number"
  },
  "reactions_total": {
    "label": "Reactions",
    "format": "number"
  },
  "media_type": {
    "label": "Media",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "message_url": {
    "label": "Link",
    "format": "string"
  }
}
```

## 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`).
