A Python library that lets you view Telegram channels, users, and groups ( ONLY BASIC INFORMATION!! ) without needing a Telegram account or API credentials.

How It Works

The telegram-channel-viewer module parses public Telegram web pages to extract information:

1. Channel Information:

   • Fetches data from https://t.me/{channel_name}
   • Extracts metadata from OpenGraph tags
   • Parses subscriber count and channel details

2. Channel Messages:

   • Accesses https://t.me/s/{channel_name}
   • Retrieves message content, dates, and view counts
   • Extracts images and media from posts

3. Specific Posts:

   • Retrieves post data from https://t.me/{channel_name}/{post_id}?embed=1&mode=tme
   • Provides clean, formatted content
   • Extracts post media and metadata
