TGStat Telegram subscribers, views, reach, and engagement
Telegram channel report: subscribers, reach and top posts
Reportkey takes Telegram channel statistics from TGStat and builds an SMM report for the client: subscriber trend, views, average post reach, engagement, citation index and top posts by day, week or month.
Sign up, add the channel by @username or t.me link and choose it in a project. Your first report in 5 minutes.
- Channels are added by @username or t.me link, with no token handover.
- Subscribers, views, average post reach and daily reach.
- ERR, citation index, mentions and the period's top posts.
TL;DR
TGStat integration: in a project you only name the channel or chat by @username, t.me link or TGStat ID, while Reportkey uses its own server API key. Subscribers, views, reach, ERR and top posts reach the client as a link or PDF on schedule.
A Telegram channel report for clients
Telegram channels are a real platform for brands, media and experts, yet reporting on them is awkward. Built-in Telegram statistics are visible only to admins and do not export into a tidy document, and screenshots show no trend. SMM specialists usually take numbers from TGStat, the Telegram channel catalogue and analytics service, and move them into a spreadsheet by hand.
Reportkey pulls channel statistics from the TGStat API and builds a section of a recurring SMM report, sent as a link or PDF on schedule with other social networks and ads.
Connecting a channel: @username or t.me link
The client does not issue or share anything. Name the channel or chat by @username, t.me link or TGStat ID. The TGStat API key is a server key: the service forbids passing a personal token to third parties and requires server-side use only, so Reportkey works with its own key. Add the channel on the integrations page and select it in the project. Because TGStat relies on public data, no admin rights are needed for a public channel.
Subscriber growth
The first block covers subscribers. TGStat returns the count at the end of each hour, day, week or month, and Reportkey calculates growth for the period. The chart shows when the channel grew fastest, which is easy to link to posts, paid placements or mentions in other channels.
Telegram post reach and views
The second block covers views and reach:
- period views, the growth in views of all channel posts per day, week or month;
- average post reach, typical views per publication;
- daily reach, views the channel collects per day;
- ad post reach at 12, 24 and 48 hours, the key figure for advertisers.
Period views include older posts that people keep reading, so they nearly always exceed the sum for posts published that month.
Engagement and citations: ERR, ER and citation index
The third block shows how alive the audience is. ERR reflects the share of subscribers who see posts, and ER reflects reactions to publications. The citation index, mentions and forwards show how often other channels quote this one. For media and experts that supports ad sales; for brands it shows content travelling beyond its own audience.
Top posts of the period
The fourth block ranks posts with views, reactions, comments and shares, accumulated up to the build date. Posts from the final days of the period are still gaining reach, so compare with care. The table answers which topics and formats deserve a repeat.
Telegram next to VK and ads
Add VK community statistics, VK Ads campaigns and Telegram referrals to the site from Yandex Metrica to the same report. If the channel funnels people into VK mailings, the Senler report fits too.

Use cases
Why teams connect TGStat to Reportkey
Real reporting jobs, typical pain points, and the outcomes teams get from TGStat in client reports.
Pain points
- At month end an SMM manager opens the channel card in TGStat and copies subscribers, reach and ERR into a client spreadsheet.
- The month's best posts are found by scrolling the feed and comparing view counts by eye.
- The client's Telegram channel is reported in a separate file, although a VK community and ads ran in the same month.

An SMM agency running brand channels
Each client has a project with its channel. The monthly report shows subscriber growth, views and average post reach, and the top posts table suggests which formats to repeat next month.
TGStat
An author or outlet selling ads in a channel
Advertisers ask about ad post reach and engagement. The block shows ad post reach at 12, 24 and 48 hours, ERR and citation index, so the media kit refreshes itself every month.
TGStat
A company with a channel and a VK community
The marketer reports on all social channels at once: the Telegram channel from TGStat and the VK community share one document, with the same periods and consistent metric labels.

03
Save the setup and generate the report
Keep the selected scope in the project and reuse the same report setup next time instead of connecting the source again.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Short answers about how the integration works in Reportkey today.
What do I need to connect TGStat?
Just the channel or chat: an @username, a t.me link or a TGStat ID. The TGStat API key is a server key that Reportkey uses, so you never hand over a token. Add the channel on the integrations page and choose it in the client project.
Is this Telegram's internal statistics?
No. TGStat calculates metrics from the channel's public data. They are neither the in-app statistics a channel admin sees nor Telegram Ads spend. TGStat numbers suit regular reporting and channel comparison but may differ from built-in statistics.
Why are monthly views higher than the sum of views on this month's posts?
Period views in TGStat are the growth in views across all channel posts, older publications included, since people keep reading them. Posts published in the reporting month make up only part of that number.
Are top post views for the month or all time?
All time up to the report build date. TGStat returns accumulated views, reactions, comments and shares per post, and view growth only for the first 15 days after publication. A post from the last day of the month has not had time to build reach.
How often is data refreshed and how far back does it go?
Data is fetched at every report build. TGStat returns subscriber and view trends by hour, day, week or month; history depth depends on the TGStat API plan, so Reportkey accumulates values from report to report for long comparisons.
