On 1 and 7 November 2026, we sent 8 providers the same list of 20 channels, or fewer. The Accuracy score on Telegram channel post APIs: This score, out of 100, shows how many of a channel's posts a call returns. The score also shows how many fields match the post's Telegram page. We ask for each channel by the channel's t.me username. Each call returns the first page of the channel's posts. We check the first 10 posts of each answer. We read each channel's public Telegram pages without signing in, within minutes of each provider's calls. We judge each provider on the pages we read after that provider's calls. One part of the score is how many posts the call returned out of 10. If the channel has fewer than 10 posts, we count out of the posts the channel has. The score also has one part for each field, such as the views. We check a field on a post only when the post's page shows the field. We leave out a field when none of the provider's first 10 posts shows the field on the page. A field counts when the answer's value matches the page. For each part, we divide the posts that match by the posts the page shows. For each channel, we average the parts. Then we average the results of the called channels. Each channel counts the same. A channel the call didn't find counts as 0. We leave out a channel when no provider's call returned a post and the channel's Telegram page shows no posts. We lower the score when we test the call on fewer channels than the benchmark has. ## Top Telegram channel post API alternatives by score 1.
