## 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-search-discovery-fca24ea2
```

Example prompt: Search Telegram for public channels and groups about 'decentralized finance' — show me up to 30 results across all types (channels, groups, and posts) worldwide.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover or search across public Telegram channels, groups, and posts by keyword — especially for competitive research, community discovery, source finding, or brand monitoring on Telegram. Prefer this over the post-search sibling when you want a broad discovery across entity types (channels, groups, and posts) rather than deep full-text post search.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'query' parameter returns a 400 error
- Limit exceeding 50 returns a validation error
- Invalid scope or region enum value returns a 400 bad request
- Payment failure (x402) prevents the request from completing
- No results found for obscure or niche keywords returns an empty result set
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion returns a 429 or 402 error

## How this service works

## Output

A list of matching public Telegram channels, groups, and/or posts relevant to the keyword query, with metadata about each result such as names, descriptions, and identifiers, limited to the requested count and filtered by scope and region.
