TelegramMe

REST API for public Telegram channels. It turns t.me/s/<channel> into typed JSON — channel profiles, posts with text entities, media, polls, reactions, replies, forwards and buttons, pagination, previews and a ranked multi-channel feed. No Telegram account or bot token needed.

Demo: https://tme.koval-dev.org · API reference: REST, GraphQL · Docs: English, Español, Русский

Every instance serves its own copy of the docs at /docs; they are also published on GitHub Pages.
