Telegram Username Checker — Availability & Price Lookup

What does Telegram Username Checker do?

Telegram Username Checker tells you the exact status of any Telegram username in bulk. For every username you submit, it reports whether the handle is available, taken, on auction, for sale, or already sold — and when a username is on the marketplace, it also returns the price in TON, the approximate price in USD, and the auction end time.

Paste a list of usernames, press Start, and get a clean, structured result for each one. Run it on the Apify platform to schedule checks, call it from the API, integrate it into your own workflows, and run large lists reliably with built-in proxy rotation.

Why use Telegram Username Checker?

• Username hunting — find short, rare, or brandable handles that are still free to register.
• Buying & investing — spot usernames that are on auction or for sale and see the asking price at a glance.
• Market research — track what comparable usernames have sold for.
• Brand protection — monitor whether handles tied to your brand are taken, listed, or sold.
• Bulk & automated — check up to 1,000 usernames per run, on a schedule, via the API.

How to use Telegram Username Checker

1. Open the Actor and go to the Input tab.
2. Enter your Telegram usernames — one per line (the leading @ is optional).
3. Optionally choose a Results to return filter (all, only for sale, or only available).
4. Press Start.
5. When the run finishes, open the Output tab or download the dataset.

That's it — no accounts, no setup.

Data fields

Field	Description
username	The username that was checked.
status	One of available, taken, on_auction, for_sale, or sold.
for_sale	true when the username can be bought right now (on auction or for sale).
price_ton	Price / minimum bid in TON, when applicable.
price_usd	Approximate price in USD, when available.
auction_ends_at	Auction end time (ISO 8601), for usernames on auction.
url	Link to the username's marketplace page, when it is listed.

How much does it cost?

Checking usernames is lightweight, so runs are inexpensive. A typical list of a few hundred usernames costs only a fraction of a compute unit. You can start on the Apify free tier and only pay for what you use. Use the Results to return filter to keep only the records you care about.

Tips

• For the fastest, most reliable runs on large lists, keep the Apify residential proxy enabled.
• Turn off Check registration availability if you only care about marketplace status (for sale / sold) — runs finish faster.
• Schedule the Actor to re-check a watchlist of usernames and get notified when one becomes available or goes on sale.

FAQ and support

Is this legal? The Actor only reads publicly available information about username status and pricing. It does not access private data or require you to log in.

Why is a username "available" but also shows as sold? A username can be sold on the marketplace but not yet assigned to a profile — the status field always reports the single most relevant state.
