Channel rankings
Telegram channel statistics for every public channel we track: subscribers, average post reach, engagement and growth. Two live leaderboards — by subscriber count and by average views. Open data, no login, exportable via API.

Methodology
Rankings on this page come from the same underlying snapshot pipeline that powers tgadsspy. Each indexed channel gets a daily snapshot of members, recent post-view distribution and language tag. Below is what each metric is — and what it isn't.
Members count
Direct from Telegram's public channel-info endpoint. We refresh top-1000 channels nightly and the long tail weekly. Numbers shown are observation-as-of timestamps, not real-time — Telegram itself doesn't publish a live counter.
Average views
Median of the last 20 posts. Median is more honest than mean — single viral posts skew mean. Channels with fewer than 20 posts use whatever they have.
Language tag
Detected from the title + last 10 posts via langdetect. ~92% accuracy on top-1000 channels by manual spot-check. Channels with multi-language audiences (e.g. RU/EN mixing) keep the dominant tag.
Category
Our own label, not Telegram’s — Telegram publishes no channel category. A rules-based classifier reads the channel title and description and picks one topic from a fixed vocabulary; it does not read posts and there is no manual override. Channels it cannot place stay untagged. See /info/channel-category.
Frequently asked questions
Two leaderboards: one by subscriber count (audience size) and one by average post views (reach). A channel can top one and not the other — a large channel with low reach ranks high on subscribers but lower on views.
Top-1000 channels by members: nightly. Channels with active sponsored activity in the last 7 days: every 6 hours. The long tail: weekly. Rankings reflect the latest snapshot, not a live counter.
