🚀 Performance Tips

Get the most out of your Telegram profile lookups with these tips:

💰 Save Money

• Focus Your Lookups: Only look up the profiles you actually need — skip duplicates and invalid usernames.

• Batch Runs: Always include 100+ profiles per run to get the best value from runtime costs.

• Skip Re-Lookups: For monitoring, only re-check profiles that have changed rather than re-running everything.

⚡ Go Faster

• Clean Your Input: Use consistent username formats to avoid lookup errors.

• Split Large Lists: For more than 1,000 targets, split into multiple runs of 1,000 each.

• Remove Duplicates: De-duplicate your input list before running to avoid wasted lookups.

🛡️ Get Better Results

• Real-Time Info: Profile data reflects the live state on Telegram at the moment of lookup.

• Privacy Settings: If a profile returns limited data, the user probably has strict privacy settings.

• Use Telegram IDs: The id field never changes — use it as your primary key since usernames can change.

📊 Best Practices

• Test First: Run a test with 5 varied targets (User, Bot, Channel, Group) to make sure everything works for your use case.

• Check Status: Look at the status field in each result — not found means the target could not be resolved.

• Stay Compliant: Respect privacy and make sure your usage follows GDPR, CCPA, and local regulations.

❓ FAQ

How do I look up a Telegram profile?

Just paste usernames, @handles, or t.me links into the telegram_url field and click Start. You can look up users, bots, channels, and groups — all in one run.

Is this free to use?

There is no subscription. Each run starts at $0.00005, Actor Usage is $0.00001, and each profile costs $0.00269. Looking up 100 profiles costs about $0.27.

How many profiles can I look up at once?

Up to 1,000 per run. For larger lists, split them into multiple runs of 1,000 each.

Can I get someone's phone number?

Only if the user has their phone number set to "Public" in Telegram privacy settings. Most users keep this hidden by default.

What is the difference between a Channel and a Supergroup?

Channels are for one-way broadcasts, while supergroups support two-way chats with advanced features. The actor automatically identifies the type for you.

Can I spot fake or scam accounts?

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

How does "Last Seen" work?

Depending on user privacy settings, you'll see "online," a specific timestamp, or a range like "recently," "last_week," or "last_month."

Is the data live?

Yes — profile data reflects the current state on Telegram at the exact moment of your lookup. For ongoing monitoring, schedule periodic runs.

How long does a lookup take?

Most runs complete in under a minute for small batches. Larger runs (500–1,000 profiles) typically finish in a few minutes.
