See what ads your competitors run in Telegram

Telegram Ads Spy is a Telegram Ads spy service. We capture every campaign running on Telegram Ads — both TON and EUR cabinets — in real time: the moment a new creative goes live, it lands in the spy. Full-text ad search, alerts on niches and keywords, public API. Used by media buyers for competitor research, affiliates to scout working offers, journalists and researchers for investigations.

Four main audiences. Media buyers and performance marketers — to see what ads competitors are running, in which channels, and estimate their budgets before launching their own campaign. Affiliates and arbitrage teams — to scout profitable niches and catch new offers the moment they go live. Channel owners — to understand what sells in their niche and benchmark their CPM. Journalists and researchers — to investigate ad spend, trace actors, and build case studies from a public, permalinked source.

Everything in the archive is public data. We index sponsored messages from the official Telegram Ads cabinet and paid placements that advertisers publish in public channels — the exact ads Telegram serves to any user who opens the app. We never scrape private chats, never bypass a Telegram safeguard, and never look at anything behind a private-channel join screen. We simply make the already-public ad stream structured and searchable.

Collection runs continuously. New creatives typically appear in the archive within 30 minutes of being served by Telegram — the exact latency depends on channel tier. A real-time live feed is available on telegramadsfeed.com and via RSS at /rss.xml. Channel metadata (audience size, avatar, description) is refreshed on a rolling schedule, with top channels updated every 30 minutes.

Open /submit and paste a channel link (t.me/name or @name). The channel enters our monitoring list within seconds; metadata is fetched within 15 minutes, and ads served in that channel start appearing in the archive at the next ingest tick. You can also submit via the @tgadsspybot command /watch @name. Works for public broadcast channels with 1,000+ subscribers.

Subscribe to a keyword, channel, advertiser or niche — the Telegram bot @tgadsspybot notifies you the moment a matching creative enters the archive. The first watchlist is free. Pro tier unlocks unlimited watchlists, email delivery and webhooks for integration with your CRM or Slack. Typical use: "alert me when any crypto advertiser launches a new campaign targeting Germany".

Browsing the archive and searching creatives is free and requires no account. The public API Free tier allows low-volume JSON and CSV reads without authentication. Pro is designed for arbitrage teams and small agencies (higher rate limits, unlimited watchlists, email delivery). Business adds bulk exports, webhook delivery, SLA and team seats for enterprise. Pricing is listed on tgads.biz and in /api-docs.

Yes — full JSON endpoints are documented at /api-docs. You can list ads, channels, advertisers, niches and geos; pull time-series trends; or export CSV in one call at /api/v1/ads.csv. The schema is stable and versioned. Per-niche RSS feeds are available at /niches/<slug>/rss.xml, per-channel feeds at /channels/<name>/rss.xml.

Four ways to get data out: (1) JSON via /api/v1/* endpoints; (2) CSV via /api/v1/ads.csv with the same filters as the web catalogue; (3) RSS — global feed /rss.xml plus per-niche, per-channel and per-advertiser feeds; (4) webhooks on Pro+ that fire a POST with the creative payload the moment it is indexed.

No. Only public channels whose content is visible to any Telegram user. We do not attempt to join private channels, we do not use leaked invite links, and we do not use MTProto-level scraping of message archives. If a channel switches from public to private, its existing entries in our archive are preserved as historical records but new ads from it stop being indexed.

File a DMCA takedown at /dmca with the URL, your identity and a short description of the claim. Valid requests mark the creative as hidden within 24 hours — the canonical URL then serves HTTP 410 Gone and the item stops appearing in search, feeds and API responses. We do not serve the original media files in the first place, only hashes and references to Telegram’s own CDN.

No. Telegram Ads Spy is an independent project built at G.Media. Operator: G MEDIA PARTNERS EUROPE d.o.o., a Serbian entity registered in Belgrade, with a Dubai (UAE) team. Telegram and the Telegram logo are trademarks of Telegram FZ-LLC. We are not a reseller, partner or agent of Telegram, and we do not provide advertising placement services on Telegram.

Channel owner identities are not stored or disclosed. The archive records which channels carried an ad, but only the channel's public username — information already visible to anyone on Telegram. We do not store Telegram account IDs, phone numbers, or contact information for channel owners. Channel owners who object to being listed may submit a removal request via /dmca.

The archive documents public advertising — the same ads Telegram already served to real users. We do not remove records on advertiser request. Takedowns are processed only for valid intellectual-property claims (DMCA / 152-FZ) or for legally invalid creatives under the applicable jurisdiction. File a formal request at /dmca; valid claims result in the creative being hidden within 24 hours.

Telegram's native cabinet shows an advertiser their own stats: impressions, CPM, budget spent. We observe from the outside. What we provide that Telegram does not: competitor creatives, cross-advertiser analysis, geo-distribution of campaigns, historical archive back to November 2024, and a public API. Our reach and spend figures are estimates derived from channel size and market CPM data — not Telegram's internal bid prices.

Telegram Ads Spy does not collect personal data about Telegram end-users. We do not track individual viewers, subscribers, or readers of channels. The only personal data we hold is for users who explicitly sign in to manage their own alerts — and those users can delete their account at any time via the bot. For EU data-subject requests, contact us through /dmca or via @tgadsspybot. Operator: G MEDIA PARTNERS EUROPE d.o.o. (Belgrade, Serbia).
