Channel Details

Retrieve channel details from Telegram with a single API request.

GET/api/data/v1/telegram/channel
1credit base costZero-credit cache supported

Request parameters

Up to 1 credit

Public Telegram handle, @handle, or t.me channel URL.

If we have a response in the cache that is this many days old or newer, return the cached response (0 credits, with "cached": true and a "cached_at" timestamp). Otherwise, scrape a live result (1 credit). [See the Caching page for details.]

Try in the console

Live requests use your prepaid balance. Cached responses cost zero where supported.

curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://fetchgoblin.com/api/data/v1/telegram/channel?handle=telegram' \
  --header 'x-api-key: YOUR_FETCHGOBLIN_API_KEY'
