❓ FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Do I need a Telegram API key? | No – we scrape the public web widgets, so no login is required. |
| Can I use proxies? | Yes. Configure proxy settings in the Apify Run tab for better geodiversity or to avoid local blocking. |
| How many URLs can I submit? | Practically unlimited. The actor processes them asynchronously and pushes each result immediately. |
| What happens if a link is invalid? | You’ll receive an item with "status":"error" and the original url preserved, so your pipeline won’t break. |
