Search and monitor over one million public Telegram channels with unmatched precision.
Built for OSINT professionals, researchers, journalists, and institutions operating in Telegram-heavy environments.

• Full-text keyword search across 1M+ Telegram channels
   
• Filter by relevance, popularity, or presence of descriptions
   
• Returns clean JSON for fast integration
   
• Sort by subscriber count or alphabetically
   
• Web search interface + API access options
   

With an API key, organizations can plug this database directly into their own Telegram tools, scripts, or investigation pipelines.

Use cases include:

• Running keyword scans against large Telegram ecosystems
   
• Building custom alerts or dashboards
   
• Pre-filtering channel lists for deeper scraping or message history analysis
   
• Supporting real-time threat triage at scale
   

This allows your internal tools to ingest targeted, vetted channel lists without needing to scrape blindly or guess which channels matter.
