The data
Telegram data,
ready to work with.
Telegram channels publish messages under a channel handle and post ID. The recorded Telegram News response identifies the public channel and its source URL, with observed subscriber, photo, video and link counts. Use channel-posts for the returned message window, then post to inspect a selected public message and its date. Those counts are a snapshot, not a private member list or a promise of complete history. A post’s publication time and views belong to that individual message, while subscriber counts belong to the channel. Keep the original t.me links when building a news or announcement monitor.
