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
A JSON object containing a count of total results, an array of matching Telegram channels (each with a title and handle), and an array of matching indexed t.me post pages (each with a URL and title).
Example use cases
Crypto community discovery
“Find me Telegram channels and posts about Solana staking — I want to see both the top channel directories and any indexed post pages on the subject.”
Monitoring brand mentions on Telegram
“Search Telegram posts for any mentions of 'OpenAI' so I can see what communities are discussing it right now.”
Finding niche topic channels
“Look up Telegram channels focused on cybersecurity — just the channel directory results, not posts.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://surf.cascade.fyi/api/v1/telegram/searchWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to discover Telegram channels by topic or find indexed Telegram post pages without managing API keys or a scraping stack. It is ideal for agents that need live Telegram data on-demand with per-call pay-as-you-go pricing via x402. Prefer this over building a custom Telegram scraper or using the official Telegram Bot API when you want simple keyword-based channel and post discovery.
Side effects
- Query too short or empty — returns validation error
- No matching channels or posts found — returns empty arrays with count 0
- Telegram indexing lag — recently created channels or posts may not appear
- Rate limiting or payment failure — 402 response if payment not attached correctly
- Query exceeds 500 character limit — returns input validation error
