How this service works
One remote endpoint gives your agent live data from Twitter, Reddit, the open web, GitHub and more. No API keys, no scraping stack - just connect the URL and go.
Output
Returns a JSON object with kind ('channel' or 'post'), an array of posts each containing ID, text, and view count, channel metadata (handle and subscriber count), and pagination fields (has_more, next_cursor) for walking through history. For post refs, also includes discussion comments when available.
Example use cases
Monitor crypto channel for signals
“Fetch the 50 most recent posts from the Telegram channel @CryptoSignalsHQ and flag any that mention 'buy' or 'sell'.”
Read discussion on a specific post
“Get the discussion comments on the Telegram post at t.me/bitcoin/120345 — I want to see what people are saying about it.”
Search channel history for topic
“Search the full history of the @technews Telegram channel for posts mentioning 'AI regulation' and show me the top results.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://surf.cascade.fyi/api/v1/telegram/getWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need live, structured data from public Telegram channels or posts without setting up a Telegram Bot API key or managing a scraping stack. It is ideal for reading channel feeds, fetching individual posts with comments, searching channel history by keyword, and paginating through message archives — all with a simple pay-per-call model. Prefer it over raw Telegram Bot API integrations when you want zero-setup access and are working within an agent that supports x402 micropayments.
Side effects
- Channel is private or restricted — endpoint cannot access non-public channels
- Invalid or malformed ref (bad handle format or non-existent channel) returns an error
- Discussion comments unavailable for many channels where the discussion group is not exposed on the public web preview
- Rate limits or upstream Telegram throttling may cause partial or empty responses
- Very large channels with sparse history may require many paginated calls to reach older posts
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. |
