❓ Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need a Telegram account?
No. The actor uses public t.me/+{phone} pages and free APIs.

2. Can I get the Telegram username (@username)?
Not from this actor – that requires the official MTProto API. Our companion actor does that.

3. Why do I need residential proxies?
Telegram blocks datacenter IPs. Residential proxies are required for reliable results.

4. How accurate is firstName / lastName?
It is extracted from the Telegram preview page (if the user hasn’t hidden it) or from Sync.me. Not guaranteed but often correct.

5. What does line_type mean?

• Mobile – real mobile number (most likely on Telegram).
• Fixed Line – landline (rarely on Telegram).
• VoIP – virtual number (often not registered).
• Toll Free, Premium Rate, etc. – special categories.

6. How many numbers can I process?
No hard limit. For >10,000 numbers, split into multiple runs or increase memory.

7. Why does registered sometimes return null?
Possible reasons: invalid number format, network timeout, or restricted country (e.g., number not public).

8. Is there a free trial?
You can test with 1–2 numbers at low cost (minimum $0.10 actor start + ~$0.004 per number). Apify also offers a free monthly credit for new users.

9. Can I export to CSV / Excel?
Yes. After the run, go to the Dataset tab and choose CSV or Excel.

10. What is the note field?
It explains that full Telegram profile fields (id, username, about, wasOnline, langCode, premium) require the official Telegram API – not included in this actor.
