Questions

What does the Telegram API cost?

Most requests cost 1 credit, and transcripts have their own rule; each endpoint page states it. New accounts get 100 free credits. See pricing.

Does it need a Telegram login?

No. SocialScrape reads public, logged-out data and you never send a platform password.

Is it live?

The endpoints are in beta: built and tested against recorded responses, with early access keys going out first. Ask for a key.
