Implementation Example

Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.

const url = "https://api.telegra.ph/createAccount";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
  headers: {
  "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
  }
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

import requests

url = "https://api.telegra.ph/createAccount"
headers = {"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, timeout=30)
response.raise_for_status()
data = response.json()
print(data)

curl -X POST https://api.telegra.ph/createAccount -d "short_name=MyBlog&author_name=Your+Name"

What Can You Build?

// Get social media user data
const headers = { 'X-Api-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY' };
const response = await fetch(`https://telegra.ph/api`, { headers });
const data = await response.json();
const user = data.user || data.data || data;
console.log('Username:', user.username || user.name || user.login);
console.log('Followers:', user.followers || user.followers_count || 'N/A');

// Fetch trending social content
const headers = { 'X-Api-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY' };
const response = await fetch(`https://telegra.ph/api`, { headers });
const data = await response.json();
const posts = data.posts || data.data || data.results || [];
const items = Array.isArray(posts) ? posts : [posts];
items.slice(0, 5).forEach(post => {
  console.log(`📱 ${post.title || post.text || post.content || JSON.stringify(post)}`);
});

// Aggregate social media content
const headers = { 'X-Api-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY' };
const response = await fetch(`https://telegra.ph/api`, { headers });
const data = await response.json();
const feed = data.feed || data.posts || data.data || [];
const container = document.getElementById('social-feed');
const items = Array.isArray(feed) ? feed : [feed];
items.slice(0, 10).forEach(item => {
  const el = document.createElement('div');
  el.textContent = item.text || item.content || JSON.stringify(item);
  container.appendChild(el);
});
