Still, there is no easy solution, so I created that integration myself: https://notifier.in/integrations/telegram-channel-to-rss You can use it as a service, no need to install anything.

That's an awesome idea (IMO)
Right now it's definetely possible with third-party bots or services. For example, if you use bot to post messages to channel, you can also write code to form RSS feed.

And thanks for the idea, will try this tomorrow ;)

@Kondra007 Thank you so much kondra :+1:

@Kondra007 Did you achieve any results on this? It would be great if we can follow channels in RSS readers instead of telegram itself, because the UI is not so good for following too many channels, bots, people, groups.

Thanks

@amiremami Yeah, there're some positive results, however it's not a public service, so channels owners should do some modifications to their bots, which post to those channels.

MasterGroosha on 4 Mar 2016

Cool man, thanks :+1:

@amiremami Here's a simple concept. Works fine for me, but it's still in development.

(Telegram Devs: Sorry for offtop, can't notify this user another way)

@Kondra007 That's great that you made it, but unfortunately I don't have enough knowledge to work with these stuff. But I really appreciate your time and help :) I expected maybe telegram add this and let us converting telegram channels to RSS by adding /feed at the end of the channel links. But thanks anyway man :)

amiremami on 6 Mar 2016

is it possible to get the RSS from the channel only - for if you don't use a bot?

thob on 7 Mar 2016

@thob There's no such feature in Telegram API (and possibly this won't ever happen, but who knows)

@maltsev
Hey man, this is great, thanks for this app! I think it has a bug which I emailed you.

amiremami on 22 Sep 2017

RSS by default always was free to read anonymously. The purpose of Telegram channels is to deanonymise readers. Using signed requests to third-party service that you use to read multiple channels from one account is giving much more data to dataminers. And @maltsev wants you to even pay for that. Make the service free and put a donation button, since I'm unable to find such.

@hillerliao "Bot initialization required".

If somebody has some skills in programming (I have not), it`s will not require much time. The easiest way - to unite ready solutions: pyrogram (https://github.com/pyrogram/pyrogram) and feedgen (https://github.com/lkiesow/python-feedgen).

One person I turned to, created a small program on Python language in about 10 minutes, basing on these two instruments. Basically, It is able to generate RSS from telegram channel without "adding bots". But he said, that he will not finalize that for free.

So, if someone wants to do a good deed, I can share existing code.

https://twitter.com/spb_nord удалось невозможное
сделать rss из канала telegram

технология
ссылка канала типа https://t.me/severnygorod
преобразуется в https://t.me/s/severnygorod
ссылка скармливается например feed43.com
и вот результат https://feed43.com/2115614740420341.xml

@r78spb did you have to authorize in feed43 (make an account there) to get the final link?
UPD: hmmm, I guess not. Then it's excellent! You only have these limitations:

so it will overflow on more than 20 items per 6 hours.

Nakilon on 22 May 2019

в телеграм канале редко больше 20 записей новых появляется за 6 часов,
ну и конечно если без регистрации создаешь rss бесплатно, то внизу подпись "delivered by feed43.."
но как рабочий инструмент годится в личное пользование

r78spb on 22 May 2019

нет, авторизоваться не надо22.05.2019, 16:00, "Victor Maslov" notifications@github.com :@r78spb did you have to authorize in feed43 (make an account there) to get the final link?

Можно задействовать RSS-Bridge, например, чтобы парсить содержимое, нужно только бридж у нему написать.

@r78spb
А откуда вы узнали про эти ссылки типа "https://t.me/s/"? Давно такая возможность появилась? Где подробнее можно про это почитать?

несколько дней назад увидел новость о том, что телеграм реализовал режим предпросмотра канала, посмотрел как он работает, увидел, что это можно использовать

@r78spb
Можете ссылку на новость дать? На официальном сайте у них вроде ничего не было.

squromiv on 23 May 2019

I didn't understand either, what's the link to input in feed43?
after that I know, I'm using feed43 for a while already

преобразуется в https://t.me/s/severnygorod

т.е. берете ссылку на канал и вставляете s/ перед именем канала
вроде понятно же
feed43

Interesting conversation

RememberTheAir on 23 May 2019

🎉1 😄1

and this should be the code

<div class="tgme_widget_message_text js-message_text" dir="auto">{%}<div class="tgme_widget_message_footer compact js-message_footer">

patrickdrd on 24 May 2019

есть разница между каналом и чатом
AdGuard Chat - это чат, и для https://t.me/adguard_en этот метод не сработает

по поводу кода, у меня такой
<div class="tgme_widget_message_text js-message_text" dir="auto">{%}<{*}href="{%}"{*}<div class="link_preview_description" dir="auto">{%}</div>{*}<a class="tgme_widget_message_date" href="{%}"

r78spb on 24 May 2019

yeah, I understood the difference, that's why I deleted the message,
also, thanks for the code, yours is much neater :)

patrickdrd on 24 May 2019

actually no, your code doesn't work in all, check this one:
https://t.me/s/DroidApks

also, it returns nothing on:
https://t.me/s/desktop

patrickdrd on 24 May 2019

экспериментируйте
например для droidapks

<div class="tgme_widget_message_author">{*}<span dir="auto">{%}</span>{*}<div class="tgme_widget_message_text js-message_text" dir="auto">{%}</div>{*}<a class="tgme_widget_message_date" href="{%}">{*}<time datetime="{%}T{%}+00:00">

r78spb on 24 May 2019

so each one needs its own?
I thought that there could be a generic pattern

anyway, this one doesn't work properly for me either:
https://t.me/s/lrepacks

patrickdrd on 24 May 2019

this for lrepacks:

<div class="tgme_widget_message_author">{*}<span dir="auto">{%}</span>{*}
<div class="tgme_widget_message_text js-message_text" dir="auto">{%}</div>{*}
<i class="link_preview_right_image" style="background-image:url('{%})"></i>{*}
<div class="link_preview_title" dir="auto">{%}</div>{*}
<a class="tgme_widget_message_date" href="{%}">{*}<time datetime="{%}T{%}+00:00">

patrickdrd on 24 May 2019

I wrote very simple script for this purpose, thanks r78spb, any public channel should be work.
For test try:
