How this service works
Pay-per-call e-commerce, product, price and social media data tools for AI agents, from public sources. Payment: x402, USDC on Base, Solana, Arc, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad, World Chain, Optimism, Avalanche, Celo or Stellar, or RLUSD/XRP on the XRP Ledger. No signup, no API key; a failed call is not charged.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing: the channel's title, username, and description; counters for subscribers, photos, videos, and links; a list of up to ~20 recent posts each with ID, URL, ISO 8601 date, text content, and view count string; the source URL; and a checkedAt timestamp.
Example use cases
Monitoring a news channel's latest posts
“Check the public Telegram channel 'bbcnews' and give me the last 20 posts with their view counts and timestamps so I can see what stories they've been covering today.”
Competitor channel research
“I'm researching a competitor — can you pull the subscriber count, description, and latest posts from the Telegram channel 'cryptosignals' so I can understand their audience and content strategy?”
Verifying channel authenticity before sharing
“Before I recommend this Telegram channel to my team, can you look up 'telegram' and confirm its title, description, and subscriber count so I know it's the real official account?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.shopsocial-api.workers.dev/api/social/telegram-channel?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need quick, structured metadata and recent post history from a public Telegram channel without requiring Telegram API credentials or bot tokens. It is ideal for monitoring, research, or competitive analysis of public channels. Prefer it over Telegram's official API when you want a simple, pay-per-call REST interface with no authentication setup.
Side effects
- Private or non-existent channel returns an error or empty result — only public channels with a t.me/s preview are supported
- Invalid username format (e.g. too short, contains illegal characters) returns a validation error
- Channel with no public preview (e.g. private groups, bots without channels) returns no data
- Rate limiting or Telegram-side blocking may cause intermittent failures
- Channels with very few posts may return fewer than 20 items
