## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability scrapemole-social-telegram-public-channel-posts-2370ed95
```

Example prompt: Fetch the last 10 posts from the Telegram channel @durov and show me any that mention 'privacy'.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to read posts from a known public Telegram channel — especially for monitoring announcements, searching message history by keyword, or paginating through older content. It is purpose-built for Telegram public channel scraping via official APIs with no authentication required, making it ideal for agent workflows that need fresh social signals from Telegram without managing credentials.

## Known failure modes

- Channel not found or does not exist — returns an error or empty result
- Channel is private — only public channels are supported, private ones will fail
- Keyword query returns no matching posts — empty posts array
- Invalid limit parameter (outside 1–20 range) — may return an error or default
- Payment failure — call not charged, response not returned
- Rate limiting on the upstream Telegram public API

## How this service works

Pay-per-call public social data for agents: Telegram public channel posts; Mastodon hashtag timelines; Bluesky post search, profiles and author feeds; Hacker News full-text search and threads with comments; Lobsters hottest stories. Official public APIs only, no logins, no private data. USDC via x402, no accounts; failed calls are never charged.

Payments: x402 v2, scheme "exact", USDC on Base (eip155:8453). The payment is verified before the work and settled only when the response is 200. Terms: https://social.scrapemole.workers.dev/terms
