Ezytel exposes the Telegram public-channel viewer originally shipped as the ezytel.zip PHP app. Traffic to t.me is routed through Google's translate.goog domain front so it reaches users behind GFW-style filters.

• rpc GetChannelInfo (ChannelInfoRequest, ChannelInfo)

  ezytel_service.proto:12

  message ChannelInfoRequest

  ezytel.proto:9

  Request the metadata card of a Telegram public channel (name, description preview, avatar, last-post timestamp, unread badge).

  • string channel_id = 1

    Channel id, e.g. "durov" — without "@" or "t.me/".

  • int64 last_read = 2

    Last post id the client has already read; used to compute the unread badge (newmsg). 0 means "everything is unread".

  • bool disable_inline_images = 3

    By default avatar_path in the response carries a "data:image/jpeg;base64,…" URI ready to drop into <img src>. Set this to true to opt out and receive the legacy "cache/<md5>.jpg" server-side file path instead.

  message ChannelInfo

  ezytel.proto:22

  • string name = 1

  • string description = 2

    Plain-text preview of the most recent post, or "فایل" if it is a media post.

  • string avatar_path = 3

    By default this is a "data:image/jpeg;base64,…" URI ready for <img src>. When the request set disable_inline_images=true it is the legacy "cache/<md5>.jpg" file path relative to GetCacheDir(). Empty if the avatar could not be fetched.

  • int64 date = 4

    Unix epoch seconds of the most recent post.

  • string date_str = 5

    Persian-calendar formatted "MM-DD HH:mm" string for the most recent post.

  • string newmsg = 6

    Unread badge, e.g. "+12" or "+99" (capped). Empty when caught up.

  • int64 last_post_id = 7

    Last post id observed on the channel page (server-side cookie replacement).

  • bool ok = 8

    True when the channel page was reachable and parsed; false if served from stale cache (newmsg is then forced to "OFF").

• rpc GetChannelMessages (ChannelMessagesRequest, ChannelMessagesResponse)

  ezytel_service.proto:13

  message ChannelMessagesRequest

  ezytel.proto:45

  Request a slab of HTML for the channel timeline.

  • string channel_id = 1

  • int64 before = 2

    0 = latest page; otherwise the "before" cursor returned by Telegram (the data-before attribute of messages_more_wrap).

  • bool disable_inline_images = 3

    By default every image URL in the returned html and the channel_avatar field is a "data:image/jpeg;base64,…" URI ready to render. Set this to true to opt out: html and channel_avatar will both carry the legacy "proxy.php?url=<hex>" placeholder form, requiring per-image ProxyImage calls.

  message ChannelMessagesResponse

  ezytel.proto:58

  • string html = 1

    Pre-rendered HTML fragment ready to be injected into .main_block. Dates have been converted to the Persian calendar. By default <img src> and background-image:url(...) carry inline "data:image/jpeg;base64,…" payloads; with disable_inline_images=true they carry "proxy.php?url=<hex>" placeholders.

  • string channel_avatar = 2

    Channel avatar embedded in the header (only set when before == 0). "data:image/jpeg;base64,…" by default, "proxy.php?url=<hex>" placeholder when disable_inline_images=true.

  • int64 last_post_id = 3

    Last post id seen on the page (mirrors the lastread_<chid> cookie).

• rpc ParseChannels (ParseChannelsRequest, ParseChannelsResponse)

  ezytel_service.proto:15

  message ParseChannelsRequest

  ezytel.proto:92

  Parse the operator-supplied newline-separated channel list into the normalised ids the other RPCs accept.

  • string raw = 1

  message ParseChannelsResponse

  ezytel.proto:96

  • repeated string channel_ids = 1

• rpc ProxyImage (ProxyImageRequest, ProxyImageResponse)

  ezytel_service.proto:14

  message ProxyImageRequest

  ezytel.proto:76

  Fetch a Telegram-hosted image through the translate.goog domain front and cache it locally. Mirrors proxy.php?url=<hex>.

  • string hex_url = 1

    Hex-encoded source URL without the "https://" prefix, exactly as the PHP version expected (bin2hex of the host+path).

  message ProxyImageResponse

  ezytel.proto:82

  • bytes data = 1

  • string content_type = 2

  • string cache_name = 3

    Local cache filename (md5(url) + ".jpg") for clients that prefer to reload from disk instead of holding the bytes.
