Updated November 7, 2026

What this example returns

This example returns up to 50000 group or channels.

The dataset’s “Groups and channels” view shows 15 columns: Title, Type, Join link, Members, Online, Description, Language, Username, Link type, Verified, Keyword, Found via, Found on, Photo, and Rank. See every output field.

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

chess

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

10

How many groups and channels to save for each keyword. 0 = every one the searches turn up.

Default: 20 → this example uses 10

Types types

group

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 group

Maximum members maxMembers

50000

Keep only groups and channels with at most this many members or subscribers (monthly users for bots), for example to get small local communities. Rows whose count Telegram does not show are left out while this is set.

Include private invite links includeInviteLinks

No

Also search for t.me/+ and joinchat invite links that people share publicly. Each link is checked, and expired invites are left out.

Default: Yes → this example uses No

{
  "keywords": [
    "chess"

  "includeInviteLinks": false,
  "maxResultsPerKeyword": 10
}

What it costs

From about $102.00 for 50000 group or channels

An estimate at the lowest plan price: 50000 × $0.00204 per group or channel (One public Telegram group, channel or bot saved to the dataset, after its link was checked on t.me). A run is charged for the events it reports, so one that finds fewer group or channels costs less. Platform usage is included in the event price.

When to use this example
