Telegram Profile Posts API
Scrape Telegram Profile Posts data with one API call. Returns one page of recent public posts from a Telegram channel or group, newest page first. Each post carries its text, publish time, view count, the per-emoji reaction breakdown, and direct media URLs for photos and videos. Pass the returned cursor to walk further back through the channel's history. Page size varies because photo albums count as one post and service messages are skipped, so a short page does not mean the end of the channel: keep paging until the cursor is absent. Send `q` to search inside the channel instead: you get one page of the newest messages that contain every word of `q` (up to about 20), at the same price, with no cursor.

Returns one page of a channel's public posts, newest first, each with its text, publish time, view count, per-emoji reaction breakdown, and direct photo or video URLs.
Use it to read or archive a channel's history. Page size varies, so keep passing the cursor until it comes back empty rather than stopping on a short page.

The Profile Posts endpoint gives you structured Telegram data with computed fields in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.
Example Request
curl -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/telegram/profile/posts?handle=telegram"import requests
response = requests.get(
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/telegram/profile/posts",
params={
'handle': 'telegram',
},
headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)
data = response.json()const response = await fetch(
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/telegram/profile/posts?handle=telegram",
{
headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" },
},
);
const data = await response.json();Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| handle | Yes | Public Telegram handle, with or without the leading @, or a t.me channel URL |
| cursor | No | Cursor from the previous page's pagination block. Omit it for the most recent posts. |
| q | No | Words to search for inside the channel, for example `cheap watches`. Returns one page of the newest messages whose text contains every word (put a phrase in double quotes to require it as written), at the same price as a plain page. Telegram's own search also matches other forms of a word (`watch` for `watches`); those messages are left out, because they do not contain the words. A search page has no cursor, so `q` cannot be combined with `cursor`. |
| since | No | Only rows published on or after this date: YYYY-MM-DD (midnight UTC) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Rows older than it are left off each page. This list is not in date order, so the walk does not stop at the date: keep following `next_cursor`, and each page costs what a page costs even when every row on it is filtered out. A row with no date is kept. `published_after`, `start_date`, `from_date`, `publish_time` (`yesterday`, `this-week`, `this-month`, `last-3-months`, `last-6-months`) and `max_age_days` are accepted and applied as `since`. |
| until | No | Only rows published on or before this date: YYYY-MM-DD (that whole UTC day is included) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Newer rows are left off each page and the walk does not stop, so older pages follow. A row with no date is kept. `published_before`, `end_date` and `to_date` are accepted and applied as `until`. |
