✅ What this Actor does

This Actor works in two simple modes — pick one, paste a public group link, choose how many results you want, and run:

1. 📨 Group Messages

Export the most recent public messages from a Telegram group as a clean dataset. Each message includes the text, the date, the sender's handle and name, whether it contains media, whether it's a reply or a forward, and the group it belongs to.

Perfect for:

• Tracking conversations, sentiment and trending topics inside a community
• Building datasets for research, analytics or AI training
• Monitoring announcements, alpha, deals or signals in real time
• Archiving public discussions for compliance or reporting

2. 👥 Active Members

Automatically identify a group's most active members and build a rich public profile for each of them — including display name, handle, bio, profile photo and a direct public link.

Perfect for:

• Building targeted outreach and lead lists from niche communities
• Finding influencers, power users and community champions
• Audience research and competitor community analysis
• Growing partnerships, ambassador programs and B2B pipelines
