# Telegram channel lookup: run it free, or from your agent

Look up a public Telegram channel by username: title, description, subscribers and media counts.

## Prompt

Use looot to compare these Telegram channels: [usernames]. 1. Set up https://looot.ai/skill.md. 2. Find a Telegram channel info endpoint in the catalog and check its price. 3. Run it once per channel. 4. Return a table of title, username, subscribers, verified and description, sorted by subscribers, and the total cost.

## What it needs

A public channel username or t.me link

## What comes back

- title
- username
- description
- subscribers
- photos
- videos
- links
- verified
- channel link

## Endpoints and providers

- tikhub: tikhub-api-telegram-web-fetch-channel-info
- scrapecreators: scrapecreators-telegram-channel

## What it costs

The tool on the web page runs live at no cost to you and is limited per hour. The results come from public data through looot. For heavier or repeated use, run the same job from your own looot account: looot bills per call and charges nothing while your agent is idle. The live price comes from the catalog and shows on the web page.

## Size a channel

See the subscriber count before you buy an ad or ask for a mention.

## Check it is real

Look for the verified badge and compare the description with the brand's site.

## Compare channels

Have your agent look up a list of channels and sort them by subscribers.

## Agent research

Give your agent the channel names from a forum thread and get one row each.

## How do I look up a Telegram channel without the app?

Type the channel username or paste its t.me link in the box at the top of this page. It returns the public channel card with subscribers and media counts.

## Can I search Telegram channels by topic?

Not on this page. It looks up one channel by its username. To find channels on a topic, search the web for t.me links on that topic, then look each one up here.

## Why is the subscriber count rounded?

Telegram shows public channel counts rounded, such as 10.4M, and the lookup returns them the same way.

## Does it work for private channels or groups?

No. Private channels and groups need an invite and return nothing here. Only public channels with a username work.

## Is this Telegram channel lookup free?

Yes. Each lookup on this page costs you nothing and is limited per hour. For many channels, your agent runs the same endpoint on your own looot account at the per-call price shown above.

## Can I read the channel's posts?

Not on this page. The catalog lists Telegram channel post endpoints, so your agent can read recent posts through looot.

## How do I run this from an agent?

Copy the prompt above, add your channel names and give it to your agent with the looot skill.md link. It runs one call per channel and returns a table.
