## 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 telemost-telegram-channel-stats-api-a4a31058
```

Example prompt: Pull the overall stats for the Telegram channel @durov — I want to see subscribers, growth, average post views, reach, and engagement rate (ERR and ERR24).

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, single-call snapshot of a Telegram channel's overall health — subscriber count, growth, reach, and engagement — without needing time-series charts or per-post breakdowns. Prefer sibling endpoints for audience growth charts, per-post analytics, sentiment analysis, or keyword tracking.

## Known failure modes

- Channel not found or is private — returns 404 or empty/null metrics
- Invalid channel username format — returns 400 validation error
- Region hint not recognized — defaults or returns 400
- Payment not included or insufficient — returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limit exceeded — returns 429
- Channel exists but has no public stats exposed — returns partial/null fields

## How this service works

Telegram channel analytics and statistics: subscribers and growth, average post views, reach, engagement and engagement rate (ERR/ERR24), plus mentions and forwards. A quick stats and health check of any public channel; individual metrics are populated where the channel exposes them.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with aggregate channel metrics including subscriber count, subscriber growth trend, average post views, post reach, engagement rate (ERR), 24-hour engagement rate (ERR24), mentions count, and forwards count. Individual fields may be null if the channel does not expose them publicly.
