Common questions
Does this need a Telegram Bot API token or phone number? +
No. It reads the public, server-rendered channel preview pages over plain HTTP; no Bot API, no phone verification, no MTProto session.
How far back can I pull a channel's history? +
The actor walks Telegram's own cursor-based pagination, so it can retrieve large archives, not just the latest page of posts.
Does it work on private channels? +
No, only channels with a public preview page (t.me/channelname).
What are the main use cases? +
Brand and reputation monitoring, crypto and market signal tracking from announcement channels, competitor campaign tracking, and supplying structured channel history to RAG agents and summarizers.
