Scrape posts from any public Telegram channel - message text, dates, view counts, media and forwards - exported as clean JSON, no login required.
A scraper for extracting every post from public Telegram channels: it fetches message text and canonical post URLs, publish timestamps in ISO 8601, numeric view counts, media presence and direct media URLs (images and video thumbnails), forwarded-origin channel names, link preview URLs, and reply indicators. The connector supports scraping multiple channels in one run, produces per-post rows tagged by channel, and provides a paginated resume cursor to iterate channel history. It operates without login, account, or API credentials and is optimized for archival, monitoring, and analytical workflows involving Telegram channel posts, engagement metrics, media extraction, and link-preview capture.
