What each setting does
The input this example runs Telegram Group Finder with. “Try this input” opens it in the console, where you can run it as-is or change any field first.
- Keywords
keywords crypto news, football news
Topics to look up public Telegram groups and channels for, one per line, in any language (for example hiking, language exchange, krakow, python jobs). Each keyword is its own search. Use the words your community would use, in its language, and add several related keywords for more results.
- Maximum results per keyword
maxResultsPerKeyword 6
How many groups and channels to save for each keyword. 0 = every one the searches turn up.
Default: 20 → this example uses 6
- Types
types channel
Which kinds of Telegram chats to keep. Groups are chats everyone can write in; channels are one-way broadcasts.
Default: group, channel → this example uses channel
- Languages
languages en
Keep only groups and channels whose title and description are in these languages (two-letter codes such as en, pl, de, es). The language is detected from the text; rows with too little text to tell are left out while this is set. Leave empty for all languages.
- Read web pages that list groups
includeWebPages No
Also open web pages and Telegram directories that list group links for the keyword, and check every link on them.
Default: Yes → this example uses No
