How this service works
Fetch a public Telegram channel's posts (with optional in-channel search and history pagination) or a single post with its discussion comments
Output

When a search query is provided, only matching posts are returned. Supports forward and backward pagination via before/after message IDs.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Pull the last 30 posts from the Telegram channel @durov, and search within them for anything mentioning 'privacy' — include any discussion comments on matching posts.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://glim.sh/api/v1/telegram/getWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to read posts from a public Telegram channel, paginate through its history, search within a channel's messages, or retrieve a single post with its discussion thread. Prefer this over generic web scraping when the target is specifically a Telegram channel or post URL and you need structured message data with metadata.
Side effects
- Channel is private or does not exist — returns error indicating inaccessible resource
- Invalid ref format (not a valid handle, t.me URL, or post URL) — returns validation error
- limit out of range (outside 1-100) — returns validation error
- Post ID not found within the channel — returns not found error
- Rate limit exceeded — returns 429 or payment-related error
- Network timeout fetching channel data from Telegram
Input
Schema · Request body
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ref | string | Public channel ref (@handle, handle, or t.me URL) returns the channel feed; a post ref (t.me/<channel>/<id> or '<channel>/<id>') returns that post with its discussion comments. |
| after | string | Return posts newer than this message id |
| limit | integer | Max posts for channel refs (walks history pages as needed) |
| query | string | Search within the channel's full history (channel refs only) |
| before | string | Return posts older than this message id (pagination cursor from next_cursor) |
| comment | string | Post refs: center the comment window on this comment id (walks older comments) |
| include_comments | boolean | Post refs: include discussion comments. Telegram's public embed serves a small window of the most recent comments; walk older ones by re-calling with comment=<oldest returned comment id>. Availability varies by channel - many discussion groups are not exposed on the public web preview. |
