Search Telegram messages, groups & channels
The Definitive Telegram Search Engine
Most Telegram search tools stop at channel names. Telemetry indexes the messages too: billions of public posts from over 1.23M+ channels, searchable with boolean operators. Find who said it, where and when, then open the channel's analytics.

God, the Telegram group search is so bad! 😥 It's almost impossible to find the right Telegram channels or groups without using the best Telegram search engine or a dedicated Telegram groups finder. I’ve been looking for Telegram group links to join, but the process is so inefficient.
No, I mean 'telemetry' - the Telegram search engine that promises to make finding Telegram groups and channels easier. It’s an incredible tool for those who want to find Telegram channels related to specific interests like crypto, OSINT, and other niche topics.
Telegram Search FAQ
What is Telemetry?
+
Telemetry is a Telegram search engine and analytics platform. It lets you search public Telegram messages, find Telegram groups and channels, and view channel analytics through a web app or a REST API.
How do I search Telegram messages?
+
Type a keyword or a boolean query into the search bar. Telemetry supports AND, OR, parentheses for grouping, quotation marks for exact phrases and * wildcards, so you can search far more precisely than Telegram's native search.
Can I search Telegram messages by date?
+
Yes. Every search can be scoped to a custom date range, so you can see what was posted before or after an event. How far back you can search depends on your plan.
How do I find Telegram groups and channels?
+
Search by keyword or browse the catalog by category. When searching groups and channels, Telemetry scans usernames, display names and descriptions to return precise results.
Why not just use Telegram’s built-in search?

Telegram’s native search returns only a handful of results per query and has no advanced operators, date scoping or analytics. Telemetry indexes billions of public messages and makes them searchable with boolean logic.
Is Telemetry a Telegram OSINT tool?
+
Yes. Telemetry is used by OSINT analysts, investigators, cybersecurity teams and journalists, and is featured in Bellingcat’s Online Investigation Toolkit and in OSINT Techniques (11th Edition).

No. Telemetry only indexes publicly posted content from public Telegram channels and groups. It does not access closed or private content.
Does Telemetry have an API?
