Telegram Lead Scraper

🎯 Turn public Telegram content into lead rows

Sales teams, lead researchers, and developers can submit public Telegram targets and get structured lead rows for published email addresses, phone numbers, websites, and Telegram handles. Each row keeps a normalized value, its original published form, source details, and confidence so you can review where the lead came from. The Actor reads public descriptions and posts only. It does not guess contact details or look up private data.

• Build a contact list from public Telegram targets with Telegram lead generation.
• Collect published phone numbers with Telegram phone number scraper.
• Find published email addresses with Telegram email scraper.
• Review contact details from public groups with Telegram group scraper.
• Extract source-linked lead rows from public Telegram content with Telegram lead scraper.

📦 Review normalized Telegram lead rows

Each saved row contains one distinct published contact detail for its Telegram source. lead.normalizedValue helps compare values, while lead.originalValue keeps the form shown by Telegram. Channel fields add identity and audience context. Source fields point to the description or post that supplied the detail when available.

If the same detail appears again for the same source, the Actor keeps the first eligible saved match and ignores later matches. The saved row and its source fields describe only that first match.

▶️ Scan targets and open the dataset

1. In Input, choose whether your targets are public channels or public groups.
2. Add one or more public Telegram URLs or @handles, keeping every value the same type as your choice.
3. Start the Actor and open the lead rows from Output.

Only public content available to the Actor is used. A detail that was not published is not guessed.

⚙️ Input

Choose the target type, then add one or more non-empty public Telegram targets. Both fields are required.

💳 Pricing

Pricing is pay per event. The primary event is Lead detail at $0.0036 for each distinct email, phone number, website, or Telegram handle saved to the dataset.

The event is charged only when that lead detail is saved. Empty discovery creates no lead-detail event, and repeated mentions do not create another saved detail for the same source.

Buyer-facing event

Event	What it covers	Price
Lead detail	One distinct published email, phone number, website, or Telegram handle saved to the dataset.	$0.0036

🔌 Integrations

The Actor runs in Apify. Use the Input panel to submit targets, then open the default dataset from Output for review or API workflows.

❓ FAQ

Does the Actor look up private contact details?

No. It reads contact details that public Telegram content publishes. It does not guess details or use a private-data lookup.

What happens when a detail appears more than once?

The Actor saves the first eligible occurrence of a distinct detail for the source and ignores later matches. The row shows evidence from that first saved match only.

Does a high confidence value verify a contact?

No. Confidence describes the extraction evidence. It does not prove that an email address or phone number still works or belongs to a specific person.

Why can source fields be missing?

Telegram does not expose every public field for every description or post. For example, a description source has no post message ID or publication date, and optional media or reaction data may not be available.

What does the group option do?

The input includes group as a target type. The Actor uses only the public content available for the submitted target, so results depend on what Telegram exposes.

How much Telegram history does a run cover?

The Actor returns the public history that Telegram makes available for the submitted targets. It does not promise an unlimited or guaranteed-complete archive.

Why did a target return no lead row?

The target may not have a published email, phone number, website, or Telegram handle in the public content available to the Actor. A missing row is not replaced with a guess.

Can I use the collected details for outreach?

You are responsible for using public contact details lawfully, following privacy and marketing rules, and honoring opt-outs. This Actor does not verify deliverability or identity.
