📊 Data Source

Phone Intelligence & Public Lookup Sources

• Library: Google's phonenumbers (libphonenumber Python port) for offline carrier/geo/timezone data
• APIs: NumLookupAPI and AbstractAPI for supplementary carrier and validity data
• Registration Check: Public Telegram profile pages (t.me/+<number>)
• OSINT Source: Public contact-lookup service for name/photo matching
• Access: Mix of key-less public endpoints and public web pages
• Update Frequency: Reflects the current state of each source at time of run

⚙️ How It Works

The Telegram Phone Number Info Collector accepts one or more phone numbers and runs each through a four-stage enrichment pipeline. First, the number is normalized to international format and validated. Next, offline phone intelligence extracts country, carrier, timezone, and line type. Then a phone-lookup API is queried for supplementary data, and the number's public Telegram profile page is checked for registration status, name, and photo. Finally, an OSINT source is checked for any additional name/photo match. Results across all requested numbers are combined and pushed to the Apify Dataset in a single batch.

Key Processing Steps:

1. Input Parsing – Accept a single phone number, a list, or a delimited string
2. Normalization – Convert to E.164 format and validate
3. Proxy Setup – Configure Apify residential proxy
4. Number Loop – Iterate through each requested phone number
5. Phone Intelligence – Extract country, carrier, timezone, and line type offline
6. Phone API Lookup – Query external APIs for supplementary carrier/validity data
7. Telegram Check – Fetch the public Telegram profile page and parse registration status
8. OSINT Lookup – Cross-check an additional public source for name/photo
9. Rate Limiting – Apply randomized delay between numbers
10. Timestamp Tagging – Record fetch time per entry
11. Dataset Push – Push combined results from all numbers in a single batch
12. Summary Logging – Report registered/not-registered/unknown totals

Key Benefits:

• Pull Telegram Phone Number Info for any phone number without manual lookups
• Verify Telegram registration status at scale
• Enrich contact lists with carrier and geographic metadata
• Feed lead-verification pipelines, OSINT research, or data-cleaning workflows
• Automate recurring checks as numbers are added to a list
