## Parameters

| name | type | required | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| url | not declared | yes | not declared | Link to one public channel message for `post_detail`, https://t.me/<channel>/<message ID>; t.me/s/ links work too. |

## Response fields (items in `results`)

| 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 | platform-native 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 | platform-native meaning |
| media_url | platform-native meaning |
| author | platform-native meaning |
| is_forwarded | platform-native meaning |
| forwarded_from | platform-native meaning |
| reply_to_url | platform-native meaning |
| platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |
| link_preview_url | platform-native meaning |
| reactions | platform-native meaning |
