## How to call it through Zero

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search specific public Telegram channels — especially MarketTwits and Russian financial news channels — for keyword-matching messages. Prefer it over generic news APIs when the target audience requires Russian financial market signals, real-time Telegram content, or when you need to search by hashtags common in Russian finance (e.g. #нефть, #Fed). Best suited for trading bots, news aggregators, and financial research agents that need direct Telegram post retrieval with view counts and timestamps.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or private channel username returns an error in per_channel array
- No messages found for given keywords returns count:0 with empty items array
- Upstream Telegram scraping failure returns stale cached data with stale:true flag
- Query string too long (over 100 characters) rejected with validation error
- More than 5 channels specified results in rejection
- limit exceeding 50 returns validation error

## How this service works

Real-time English translations of MarketTwits (top Russian financial Telegram channel). Covers macro, central banks, oil/commodities, geopolitics, equities and crypto. Items are tagged high/medium importance and updated every few minutes. Ideal for trading bots and news agents. Also sells Russian market data (CBR FX and key rate, MOEX quotes/indices/movers, Rosstat fuel prices), public Telegram channel reading/search and Wildberries/Ozon product data.

## Output

A JSON object containing a merged list of matching Telegram messages (newest first), each with message ID, channel name, date, full text, link, view count, media types, and edit status. Also includes per-channel breakdown, total count, fetch timestamp, and a stale flag indicating if cached data was served due to upstream failure.
