Read one message from a public Telegram channel by its link, such as https://t.me/durov/520. Get text, views, post time, media type and link, author signature, forward source, reply link, link preview and reactions with counts.

Price $0.81 per 1,000 requests ($0.000806 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Telegram Post details endpoint (telegram/post_detail).

How the endpoint works:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to telegram and action to post_detail, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
- url: Link to one public channel message for post_detail, https://t.me/<channel>/<message ID>; t.me/s/ links work too.
- Returns one object. Main fields: id, url, channel_username, text, view_count, posted_at, media_type, media_url, author, is_forwarded, forwarded_from, reply_to_url; 14 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=telegram.
- Example request body:
{
"platform": "telegram",
"action": "post_detail",
"params": {
"url": "https://t.me/durov/520"
}
}
- Price: $0.81 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.

Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.

Response fields

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the platform does not show are never made up.

Field	Meaning
`id`	The record's unique ID on the platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms.
`url`	Link to the record on the platform.
`channel_username`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`text`	Body text with HTML removed, returned in full and never cut short (on a few platforms the list results themselves carry only an excerpt; the platform's field notes say so).
`view_count`	Views or plays. null means not disclosed, not 0.
`posted_at`	Publish time in ISO 8601, UTC (for example 2026-08-07T12:34:56+00:00). Non-standard strings from the platform are passed through as is, so parse defensively. null means the platform does not disclose it.
`media_type`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`media_url`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`author`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`is_forwarded`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`forwarded_from`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`reply_to_url`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`platform`	Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok).
`link_preview_url`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`reactions`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
