🚀 Performance Tips

Optimize your profile extraction runs for speed, cost, and data quality with these best practices:

💰 Cost Optimization

• Filter High-Value Targets: Use your internal logic to only process verified or premium accounts if your budget is limited.
• Batch Processing: Always target 100+ profiles per run to maximize the efficiency of the Actor runtime costs.
• Incremental Updates: For monitoring use cases, extract only new or changed profiles rather than full re-scans.

⚡ Speed Optimization

• Normalized Input: Providing clean @usernames is slightly faster as it reduces URL parsing and redirection-handling overhead.
• Concurrent Runs: The Actor is designed for parallel tasks; split 50,000 targets into 5 separate runs for faster completion.
• Avoid Duplicates: Remove duplicate entries from your input list to prevent unnecessary processing.

🛡️ Data Quality Tips

• Real-Time Accuracy: Profiles reflect the exact state at the time of extraction. Recency is key for "Last Seen" and membership data.
• Privacy Awareness: If a profile returns limited data, it is likely due to the target's personalized privacy settings.
• Stable IDs: Always use the id field for your database keys, as usernames can change frequently.

📊 Best Practices

• Test Small: Run a test with 5 varied targets (User, Bot, Channel, Group) to verify your downstream mapping and integration.
• Handle Failures: Check the status field in output—failed extractions may indicate deleted accounts or invalid URLs.
• Compliance: Respect target privacy and ensure your data usage aligns with GDPR, CCPA, and local regulations.

❓ FAQ

What entities can I scrape?

You can scrape Users, Bots, Public Groups, Public Channels, and Supergroups. Private groups/channels cannot be accessed without an invitation.

How many targets can I process at once?

You can input up to 10,000 targets in a single run. For even larger volumes, we recommend triggering multiple runs via API or scheduling.

Can I get the user's phone number?

Only if the user has set their privacy settings to "Public" or if the number is already in your contact list. Most users hide this by default.

What is the difference between a Channel and a Supergroup?

The Actor automatically identifies the type. Channels are for one-way broadcasts, while supergroups are for large-scale two-way chats with advanced features.

Can I identify fake or scam accounts?

Yes. Telegram's official flags for "Scam" and "Fake" are included in the results, along with "Restricted" status for additional safety checks.

Is historical "Last Seen" data available?

Yes. Depending on user privacy settings, you'll get "online," a specific ISO timestamp, or ranges like "recently," "last_week," or "last_month."

Is the data updated in real-time?

The data captured is the current live state on Telegram at the exact moment of extraction. For monitoring, schedule periodic runs.
