Feature request: add Telegram support to Agent-Reach #534

Description

@dokhtarchi

Hello, and thanks for Agent-Reach.

I would like to request Telegram support as an additional channel in Agent-Reach.

Use case:

  • Read public Telegram channel posts
  • Search channel messages
  • Extract metadata from Telegram posts/links
  • Optionally support private chats with user-provided session/cookies if needed

Why this would be useful:

  • Telegram is a major information source for communities, news, and technical groups.
  • Adding Telegram would make Agent-Reach more complete as a multi-platform internet access layer for AI agents.

Suggested implementation ideas:

  • Add a Telegram channel adapter similar to the existing platform connectors.
  • Support public channel scraping/reading first.
  • Optionally integrate with Telegram bot API or a user session-based approach for richer access.
  • Provide a doctor check to verify Telegram setup status.

If Telegram support is not planned, it would still be helpful to know:

  • Whether there is a technical reason it was excluded
  • Whether a community contribution would be welcome
  • What architecture would be preferred for a Telegram adapter

Thank you!
