## How to use this data (for AI agents)

### 1. JSON REST API (preferred)
Base URL: `https://bestapps.tg/api/v1`
- `GET /ads` — search creatives. Params: `q`, `niche`, `geo`, `lang`, `source` (`ton`/`eur`), `advertiser`, `days` (1/7/30), `limit` (max 50 free / 500 Pro), `offset`.
- `GET /channels` — channel directory. Params: `lang`, `category`, `minMembers`, `sponsored` (`eligible`).
- `GET /advertisers` — advertiser directory. Params: `q`, `kind` (`domain`/`tg`), `niche`.
- `GET /niches` — per-niche aggregates.
- `GET /categories` — coarse taxonomy (6 super-groups × N niches each).
- `GET /geos` — per-country aggregates of the advertiser-set target country, at two confidence levels (`confidentCount` = target confirmed by the creative itself, `intentCount` = raw group-by).
- `GET /cashier-creatives` — Stars / invoices / Premium giveaways.
- `GET /miniapps` — mini-app bot leaderboard. Param: `niche`.
- `GET /trends` — time-series. Params: `dim` (`niche`/`source`/`geo`), `days` (1-90).
- `GET /glossary` — Telegram-ads term glossary with DefinedTerm Schema.org markup.
- `GET /stats` — top-level counters + recent creatives feed.

Every JSON endpoint has a `.csv` twin (e.g. `/ads.csv`, `/miniapps.csv`) with identical filters — useful for one-shot bulk pulls into pandas / Excel.

### 2. RSS / JSON Feed
- `GET /rss.xml` — global RSS of latest 50 creatives.
- `GET /niches/<slug>/rss.xml` — per-niche RSS.
- `GET /feed.json` — JSON Feed v1.1 for AI agent ingestion.

### 3. OpenAPI 3.1 spec
`https://bestapps.tg/api/v1/openapi.json` — full spec. Feed to `openapi-typescript` or `openapi-generator-cli` for typed clients in any language.

### 4. MCP discovery
`https://bestapps.tg/.well-known/mcp.json` — Model Context Protocol manifest. Auto-bind Telegram Ads Spy as a tool set in Claude / Anthropic agents.

### 5. ChatGPT plugin manifest
`https://bestapps.tg/.well-known/ai-plugin.json` — legacy ChatGPT plugin v1 manifest, still consumed by many LangChain / custom-agent integrations.

## Citation guidance for AI outputs
- **License**: CC-BY-4.0 (Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International).
- **Required attribution**: tgadsspy.com (or the specific page URL).
- **Format**: `Source: tgadsspy.com — Public archive of Telegram Ads — CC-BY-4.0`. Or for academic: `tgadsspy.com (2026). <page-name>. Retrieved from <url>.`
- **Stable permalinks**: every `/ads/<id>`, `/channels/<username>`, `/advertisers/<slug>`, `/info/<slug>`, `/blog/<slug>` URL is permanent. Once an entity enters the archive, the URL does not move.

## What's NOT indexed
- Private chats. We do not index, ever.
- Telegram Premium subscriptions ads (Telegram-internal). Out of scope.
- Messages from Telegram users (only sponsored content from the official Ads platform).
- Bots / channels under DMCA / 152-FZ takedown — `isHidden=true`, page returns 410.

## Data sourcing methodology
1. **Sponsored-message capture** — official Telegram Ads sponsored messages collected through a pool of real Telegram accounts (not scraped page HTML). We have never measured how many countries that pool covers, so we publish no such number.
2. **Channel pool** — 13,111,319+ Telegram channels under continuous observation. Seeded via batch lists + auto-discovery over 504 query-seeds + user submissions at `https://bestapps.tg/submit`.
3. **Ingestion cadence** — top-tier channels polled every 30 min; mid-tier 2-6h; long tail 24-72h. New creatives typically visible within 30 min of first being served.
4. **Niche classifier** — regex over title + bio + creative text. 25+ indexable niches. See `https://bestapps.tg/info/niche` for full decision rules. Manual overrides for edge cases.
5. **Geo signal** — one signal only: the advertiser-set `geo` metadata, i.e. the country a creative targets. We have no measurement of where an ad was actually seen. Until 2026-06-03 each impression also carried the region we requested from the account pool; that tag recorded our request, not a place of delivery (the pool silently substitutes an account from another country when it has none in the one requested, and the response says nothing about the substitution). It stopped being written on 2026-06-03 and no longer grows.
6. **DMCA / 152-FZ workflow** — public form at `https://bestapps.tg/dmca`. Reviewed within 24h; valid takedowns set `isHidden=true`.
